### 2/5 — Substandard quality

*2026-08-06, version 25.2.1*

Constantly crashes, glitches, and or makes you confirm identity through text messages… freezes frequently. A complete joke of an app for a bank that is already mid tier at best

### 2/5 — Works…barely

*2026-07-21, version 25.2.1*

App loading after login can be very slow and has lots of network connection issues whether connected to wifi or data. 
Typically I have to open the app 2-3 times to check charges, deposit checks. Overall it does do what it is supposed to do but is buggy.

### 3/5 — Bank app

*2026-04-14, version 25.2.1*

They seem to have a lot of problems with the app I think they need to upgrade to a different app like what Chase uses

### 5/5 — Very User Friendly!

*2025-12-22, version 24.1.0*

Easy to use app. Quickly updates balances on all accounts. Zelle is such a useful feature between my wife and I!

### 5/5 — Convenient

*2025-12-16, version 24.1.0*

Managing my account and payments when traveling away from home.

### 3/5 — Very limited

*2025-12-08, version 24.1.0*

Limited options, it’s not very efficient.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-11-30, version 24.1.0*

I absolutely love the Lincoln Illinois branch there’s not a time that I go in there that I don’t feel like family. Thanks for all your help and support.

### 5/5 — Opinion of this branch of UCB…

*2025-10-27, version 24.1.0*

I love all the people I have dealt with in this branch. It has always been and will continue to be my bank. friendly and helpful… with smiles.

### 3/5 — Just OK

*2025-10-15, version 24.1.0*

Basic app. Not as useful as other banks. Views of accounts and actions are a bit more limited. Forced to go to website for further actions.

### 5/5 — Bill’s opinion

*2025-09-05, version 24.1.0*

I feel that ucb has my best interest at heart give a shout out to Morgan Kelly and all that keep this well oiled group of people thank you kindly for the many years of service!Respectfully Bill Webber

### 5/5 — Love the check deposit

*2025-08-01, version 24.1.0*

Easy to get a check deposited on the app.

### 5/5 — Online activity

*2025-07-03, version 24.1.0*

I’m happy that the online services perform as they should and that I get my notifications correctly

### 5/5 — 6 stars

*2025-04-14, version 24.1.0*

Couldn’t ask for a better financial institution to work with.  Every single employee at the Sherman branch that I deal with couldn’t be more respectful or professional. It is an actual enjoyment dealing with their staff.

### 5/5 — UCB

*2025-03-24, version 24.1.0*

Really like their efforts to keep people safe and on top of goings on.  Thank you

### 5/5 — EH

*2025-03-05, version 22.2.312*

Great Tellers
Courteous and Kind Employees

### 5/5 — Banking App

*2024-11-06, version 22.2.312*

It is nice to be able to track all of my banking on this app. I have a fear of checks bouncing. So by being able to check my accounts more than once a day or having to get a computer to check or to call, makes thing so much easier and stress free for me.

### 5/5 — App

*2024-10-27, version 22.2.312*

App is easy to use and very secure!

### 1/5 — fraud

*2026-07-10, version 25.2.1*

i received a check that i was up front with them about. they threaten to cancel my account saying i committed fraud. i did not commit any fraud

### 1/5 — Inaccessible

*2025-01-11, version 22.2.312*

( -10 stars ) I’m always struggling to log in, getting the same error message of connection issues. I’ve tried calling support that blames my phone or internet service. I’m an OTR trucker, been all over the 48 states on so many different networks, all other apps never have a VPN or security locking issue; its frustrating having no support when their systems are failing. I left this bank with app to find a better bank that will actually help when there’s an issue, if you don’t need to use the mobile app for your bank it’s fine but I’m OTR so much that it’s a necessity and this app has a log in issue every time and it may take days until I’m finally able to log in, by then it’s far too late. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Great app!! Except when you actually need to do something

*2024-08-22, version 22.2.312*

The app constantly glitches and tells me that i cannot log in or my account or password is incorrect or nonexistent. When i reset my password, it tells me “your new password cannot be the same as your current” please fix your app

### 1/5 — Crashes too much.

*2024-02-22, version 22.2.312*

Can only use the app about half the time.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2023-11-08, version 22.2.310*

The new revamp of this app is so slow.  I loved the older version of the app, I found it much more user friendly.  Current update either doesn’t load or takes forever to load.

### 1/5 — Too many error messages

*2023-10-27, version 22.2.310*

Too many error messages. Cannot get on app often and now double verify?

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2023-08-21, version 22.2.300*

How exactly has this change been an improvement?? This is the slowest app I've ever used!  Web page is even worse!!  How is it that as a business, I had to call multiple times and request that all of our accounts appear on the website and on this app,  I have multiple accounts but can't see them unless I make a request to do so??  Who does that even make sense to?? Can no longer copy and paste from the website.  Can only see 25 transactions per page and have to sit and wait for each page to load.  It's absolutely ridiculous that anyone could possibly think this is an improvement! I wish the idiots who thought this whole thing up we're actually people who used this site!  It's horrendously horrible!!

### 1/5 — Regarding the new “update”

*2023-07-03, version 22.2.300*

Didn’t have a problem with the previous version, they did an “update” few weeks ago and I think it is terrible now. Thinking about getting rid of it.

### 1/5 — Update

*2023-07-02, version 22.2.300*

The most recent update makes it harder to read the transactions and what they go to. And it's harder to navigate. I thought updates were supposed to be improvements? This update is HORRIBLE!! Fix the update!!

### 1/5 — New Update

*2023-06-23, version 22.2.300*

I don’t know what you guys did for the new update, but I shouldn’t have to verify that it’s me EVERY SINGLE time I go to log in. It’s annoying.

### 5/5 — Great bank. Great app

*2026-08-13, version 25.2.1*

Love the ease of use for this app. The bank is wonderful and very friendly to deal with. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Takes so long to transfer

*2026-07-21, version 25.2.1*

takes a long time to do a transfer. You wait forever for the info to come through

### 5/5 — UCB online

*2026-07-13, version 25.2.1*

I use the online system all the time , whether to pay my bills or transfer money from one acct to another and it’s very easy to navigate UCB’s online system. If I have to go to the bank all the employees from the tellers to the bankers are all extremely nice and helpful!!UCB is an excellent bank.

### 5/5 — Favorite Bank

*2026-07-02, version 25.2.1*

Customer Service is outstanding.

### 5/5 — Mobile Deposit

*2026-06-15, version 25.2.1*

So fast, so easy! Great feature!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-06-13, version 25.2.1*

This is the BEST BANK!!! They have always been on their promises!! I’ve had a few close calls with fraud and always on top of it!! They do and have always put us customers first!! Appreciate you always!!

### 5/5 — Makes life a little easier

*2026-06-08, version 25.2.1*

This app has saved us so much money over the years! It’s an easy way to keep track of our accounts and sends me a text message if an account gets below a certain amount, thus saving me from getting an overdraft or automatic transfer. And I can make transfers between accounts or pay extra on a loan any time of the day or night.

### 5/5 — Great people

*2026-05-31, version 25.2.1*

They have always been super to me and very friendly. When I have had a problem they have helped me

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-05-26, version 25.2.1*

So nice to have the easy to do everything by your phone

### 5/5 — So convenient

*2026-04-15, version 25.2.1*

It’s so convenient and easy to use!!
