### 2/5 — It glitches.

*2026-05-10, version 20.0.250800*

It glitches a lot. Tells me I have more than I do. And doesn’t update purchases or anything as fast as it should.  Bills wwnt out days ago and I have receipts but the app doesn’t tell me it has.

### 3/5 — Always down

*2025-10-02, version 20.0.250800*

Would be nice if it wasn’t consistantly down for maintenance….

### 2/5 — Site maintenance

*2025-04-27, version 20.0.5912*

If they are doing maintenance on the site you can literally not do anything. In 2025 the fact that I can’t do something as simple as check my balance while the site is being updated blows my mind.

### 4/5 — No longer works on my iPad iOS 15.8 🥲

*2025-03-28, version 20.0.5910*

I have not been able to use the app since it requires iOS 16 now. I have no other reason to upgrade my iPad 🥲

### 2/5 — App constantly forgets login info

*2025-01-01, version 20.0.5910*

The app would not let me login due to it “updating” however the App Store says it has not been updated in 4 weeks. I have had to inconvenience myself multiple times last year to change my password because the app is very low quality.

### 3/5 — Mobile Deposit Issues

*2024-12-09, version 20.0.5910*

Great app until an update this last year where you cannot focus the camera when making mobile deposits. Additionally I’ve yet to successfully deposit a check with the new system where you have to write “For Mobile Deposit Only for Southside Bank” even with my girlfriend printing it out that specific part.

### 3/5 — Southside Review

*2024-11-21*

It’s a pretty good app. It does what you need. Like all big banks it is a trade off. I hate that it will not let you reuse nicknames. Takes way too long to get one not used. As most things today it does what “they” want it to do and need it to do. It is certainly nothing special, the bank either. I would not recommend the bank or the app, but am too lazy to move to a smaller, more home town local bank like used to be.

In 2024 I will say the same thing.  I am just too lazy to change banks.  SS is nothing special, but is adequate.

### 5/5 — Just what I needed…

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Mobile Deposit Issues

*2025-07-02, version 20.0.5912*

The absolute worst mobile deposit I have ever used. Cannot focus the camera, every image will come out blurry. It’s a one in fifty shot you will be able to make a deposit through the app. This has been an issue for a year and a half now and it’s a waste of my time and the clerks at the bank when I explain to them what has happened. Seriously, make it to where we can focus the camera for a clear picture; this is asinine for a bank to struggle with.

### 1/5 — Money missing

*2025-05-04, version 20.0.5912*

A friend sent me t 115.00 dollarsshe did but the money never came to my account now which one scammed  meand i recieved a txt message from Zelle tha

### 1/5 — Followed advice to update…?

*2025-04-23, version 20.0.5910*

Followed advice to go to App Store to update, it sent me back to the ADVICE to UPDATE, 3 times I tried, no luck, bah humbug!

### 1/5 — Old phone

*2025-03-06, version 20.0.5910*

I have an iPhone 6s+ and it is too old to download the app/update and I will NOT buy another/new phone just to have Southside Bank unless Southside Bank wants to pay for a new phone!

### 1/5 — No it!

*2024-11-01, version 20.0.5906*

I think the online banking needs a lot of work need more features better design. it feel like the app has a lot going on while at the same time we can’t get anything done even prepaid card apps are better

### 1/5 — Mobile deposit is ridiculous

*2024-10-14, version 20.0.5906*

Did a mobile deposit, took a whole day to even go through, and over the past TWO DAYS has been holding 60% of that mobile deposit from me.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-02-07, version 20.0.5724*

Never rely on the Bill Pay in this app.  Twice I requested a bill to be paid, showed it was paid but account never credited then told “no, it was not paid” even though account had plenty of money to cover the payments.  Three times I cancelled payments and they were not cancelled even though I received confirmation numbers.  Then, to top it off I requested funds to be transferred to an outside account, my account was credited for this transfer but funds were not transferred.

### 1/5 — Slow processing bank

*2022-10-02, version 20.0.5724*

This use to be a very good internet bank when it was OmniAmerican Bank but it bought out Southside bank and uses their banking software. It’s slow to process debits and deposits. Nothing gets done on the weekends. If Friday or Monday is a holiday you’re looking at 4 days of nothing. I would change banks if I could. First National Banks website where I also bank is even worse. No Zelle there. At least SSB now has Zelle!

### 1/5 — Review App

*2019-06-08, version 13.1.5412*

This app frequently fails to preform. A variety of error messages often occur. The basic app itself feels and seems several generations behind competitors.
I love Southside and my local branch. I have considered changing banks after many years (10 plus) because of the problems with the app and website in general. What a shame! Please upgrade!!!!!

6-8-19 update to review

Still experiencing problems loading consistently. Error message “failed to load renter login information. I’ve removed and reinstalled app. Am careful when I enter data. Some days I can’t login at all trying numerous times during the day.

I spoke with Sr Mgr who was in charge of the app and the vendor who supply’s it. He was cking things out and was supposed to get back to me and I have not heard from him.

### 1/5 — Absolutely TERRIBLE

*2019-05-01*

The app is absolutely infuriating! It makes me want to throw my phone across the room it’s so aggravating! Half of the time you can’t login! It will give you an authentication error which is not a wrong password but like the system just couldn’t login. Or it will login but then it will just sit there and load forever and never get to your info. Online deposit is a nightmare! I own a business in which I deposit quite a few checks every month. I finally gave up using the app and just started going to the bank because you will get one error or another and by the time I finally get all of the checks deposited I could have driven to the bank and back....literally!!!

**Developer response:** We suggest getting with the business online services for Smart deposit instead of the regular mobile deposit services. We have done an online maintenance yesterday to address the issues. 

Thank you,
Kelsey
