### 2/5 — Need account balance

*2024-08-25*

Unable to call or receive account information via app. It will
Not open.

### 2/5 — It’s been messing up lately

*2024-06-24*

Usually I love the app and the text alerts and everything works just as it should and their right on time. But recently, at least the last 4 weeks, its been hit or miss on my alerts. It’s like it’s picking and choosing which one I might get, If I made 10 transactions in a day I might’ve gotten 3 of them. It’s a bit irritating, especially because if there happens to be a fraudulent transaction I might not know about it very quickly.

### 5/5 — Card alerts

*2023-03-17*

Thank you for all the work dedication time and alerts plus effort all of you do to keep all of us safe

### 1/5 — Don’t work on iPhone

*2022-05-31*

Need bug fixes

### 1/5 — Doesn’t remember login

*2022-03-02*

Keeps logging out with no indication, meaning I don’t get alerts, defeating the purpose of the app altogether.

### 1/5 — No puedo mirar mi saldo

*2021-11-29*

No puedo mirar mi saldo en la aplicación

### 1/5 — App is not showing accounts info

*2021-07-19*

I am unable to view my account information after I log in.

### 4/5 — Love the security aspect

*2019-12-19*

Would like to be able to get alerts for deposits

### 3/5 — Missing Alert

*2019-02-22*

Why is there not an Alert when a Courtesy Pay Fee is assessed to inform an account holder the account needs to have additional funds deposited, which would prevent further Fees being assessed??? 
Since you have an Alert for rejected checks, it only makes common sense to Alert for this expensive error.

### 4/5 — Happy

*2018-09-13*

Seems to be working... like it so far😉
