### 2/5 — I’d just like to log in….

*2026-02-12, version 2024.5.0.2*

Why is the app discontinued for my device!?

### 3/5 — Got way worse all of a sudden

*2026-01-24, version 2025.10.1.7*

Worked fine but then it started requiring me to verify my identity with a phone call literally every time I open the app 
And often the phone call doesn’t come so I can’t use the app

### 2/5 — Most recent update = Bad

*2025-11-25, version 2025.7.3.1*

The app used to be generally helpful. The most recent update has too many bugs. The app notification count does not reliably go away after checking notices. When scrolling through the list of account transactions, if you navigate away from the app and then come back to it, you lose your place in the list and it jumps back up to the top of the list. Makes reconciling awkward and difficult at best.

### 1/5 — Verifying identity

*2025-11-14, version 2025.7.3.1*

I have to verify my identity every time I have to log into my account. Very inconvenient.

### 1/5 — Worst customer service ever!

*2025-10-14, version 2025.7.3.1*

I’d rather bank with Bank of America, than sound credit union!  at least they’re available to help with problems, don’t take several days to clear checks and the list goes on and on. There is zero benefit to banking with Sound, ZERO!

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2025-09-24, version 2025.7.3.1*

I’ve been with sound credit for years and the app was great. They recently updated it and not only is the layout bad and harder to read the way they display things. The app is also way more buggy now including not letting me log in or not letting me transfer money between accounts such as paying off my credit card usage. What’s the point of the app if I can’t do basic banking then?

### 2/5 — It was ok, now it’s terrible

*2025-07-13, version 2025.5.0.1*

The news and announcements alert with message will not go away even after opening and reading the messages. The AI chat was awful and it’s the weekend and I can’t find an option in the app to send a message to customer support. I may just delete the app until there’s an update to fix this.

### 2/5 — Simple & straight forward

*2025-06-25, version 2025.2.2.3*

Just the way I like it

### 1/5 — PLEASE!! Add notes feature

*2025-05-24, version 2025.2.2.3*

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! Every other banking app I use lets me make a note about the transaction. I’ve been asking for 3 years for Sound to implement this option and they haven’t done it yet. It’s the worst part of my banking experience with Sound CU by far. I’m so close to closing my accounts and switching to WSECU because of it.

### 2/5 — Kyrgyzstan will be a nuclear power before this app works

*2025-05-13, version 2025.2.2.3*

App barely works, at this rate using half ply toilet paper in a public restroom would be preferable.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Laggy

*2026-07-24, version 2026.04.2.2*

The last few weeks this apps been horrendous

### 1/5 — New update sucks fix it

*2026-07-17, version 2026.04.2.2*

Face scan twice to get in, screen flashes on login, can’t display my balances, etc., fix this bad update

### 1/5 — Very bothersome question

*2026-06-22, version 2026.01*

Stop asking the same question every time I look at my accounts

### 1/5 — Mobile deposit has issues

*2026-06-16, version 2026.01*

Every once in a while I have to delete the app then reinstall to get mobile deposit to work. It stalls on the picture taking process. Force close and reopen doesn’t fix the issue

### 1/5 — Bad enough to make me wish I’d chosen a different bank

*2026-06-11, version 2026.01*

This app is terrible, even by credit union standards. Login is difficult, and why on earth can’t two people have logins for the same account? I didn’t even think to ask about app functionality when I opened my account because it seems so obvious that joint accounts need multiple logins. I’m now realizing how much I actually use my bank’s app, which would never have occurred to me if it wasn’t such an awful experience.

### 1/5 — Stop bothering me with reviews

*2026-06-10, version 2026.01*

It would be better if I wasn’t bugged with a review everytime I log onto my account

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-05-29, version 2026.01*

Non responsive! Too any bugs and errors.

### 1/5 — Terrible online banking

*2026-05-27, version 2026.01*

Takes forever to reflect the actual math of pending fees and current balance

### 1/5 — Can’t make purchase

*2026-03-09, version 2025.10.1.7*

Brand new business account and I can’t use my checking card. What’s the point of having it??

### 1/5 — Jerry Huber

*2026-02-17, version 2025.10.1.7*

For the past 6 months every time I try to use my credit card it gets rejected as fraudulent charge. 
It's a whole ordeal to use it. It's really annoying

### 5/5 — The Best Credit Union App

*2026-08-15, version 2026.04.2.2*

I’ve been a member of some of the other CU’s in WA state. The largest & 2nd largest CU’s. As far as ease of use and functions, Sound CU’s mobile app is the best. Despite moving to another state, I kept my Sound CU account due to consistent connectivity and lack of issue in operation.

### 5/5 — Personal & Business

*2026-08-07, version 2026.04.2.2*

Always helpful

### 5/5 — Love this place

*2026-07-07, version 2026.01*

I had trouble finding an account anywhere but Sound Credit Union gave me a bank account and made my life so much easier. They are friendly and awesome. Haven’t had any trouble with them. 5 stars for sure

### 5/5 — 35 years of Sound

*2026-06-22, version 2026.01*

35 years with sound cu. Moved from WA to Texas and still have not changed banking systems and we won’t.

### 5/5 — Easy to use!!

*2026-06-20, version 2026.01*

I find the app very user friendly, efficient and easy to navigate!!

### 5/5 — Sucks

*2026-06-11, version 2026.01*

Always freezes when trying to mobile deposit..

### 5/5 — Good place

*2026-06-10, version 2026.01*

Nice people

### 5/5 — 🤙🏾

*2026-04-30, version 2026.01*

Awesome!!!

### 5/5 — Good Stuff

*2026-01-02, version 2025.10.1.3*

This app conquers the challenge of programming a solid banking app with its responsive behavior, clean and accessible UI, and an awesome water projectile logo.

### 5/5 — New security measure

*2025-12-24, version 2025.10.1.3*

Well, I understand the importance of having extra security. I do not appreciate having to get a phone call from the automated service every single time I want to log into my bank account. When I log into my bank account, I don’t always have access to my cellular device. It’s a complete inconvenience to the point where I’m gonna start utilizing my U.S. Bank account more instead. I’ve shared my concerns with the bankers. But it has fallen on deaf ears.
