10/10 experience

Honestly the best to bank with! The employees are always so friendly, helpful and available, Yakima Federal makes banking simple, easy and no stress! Shout out to the Yakima Ave branch for being so responsive when opening my account and any questions I had:)

Can’t pull out money or transfer on weekend get a weird message

I been having such a horrible time accessing my funds

Faulty App, Indifferent Attitude

Update: app and online banking still regularly nonfunctional. Down yet again tonight. The incompetence and lack of accountability are unreal. Never in my entire life have I seen any app or service of any kind that goes down or glitches out completely the way theirs does.

The frequency with which their online banking simply *doesn’t work at all* is increasing, and undermines confidence in their ability to handle just about anything else. There are never answers, a timeline to have it fixed, or really any sense of accountability at all. Once again, it’s been down all day. I leave for a trip Monday, which is also a bank holiday. I can see a total balance, and nothing else. What’s cleared (and accounted for in that total)? According to them nothing, as it says I have no recent transactions. Can I perform any other function? No. Is anyone going to fix this? As usual, they are not. BUT they will almost certainly lock my debit card at the drop of a hat and make me wait until the next business day to get their permission access MY OWN MONEY.

My opinion

I’ve had a handful of different banks and this has been the easiest to keep. Customer service is great. Fees minimal.

I Miss The Old App!!!

This is app makes me want to close my account. FORCING you to enter your social security number to bring up your debit card and saying it’s to see your credit cards (which I don’t have) and then storing that number just in case you get a credit card with them in the future. How secure is this?

More Transactions

The app is awesome but I wished I could access more transactions

Worst Online Banking

Before the upgrade the YFS app was great. Like they say why fix something when it ain’t broken. At all times of the day I can’t sign in, when I really need to get into my app to unfreeze my card or check for withdraws etc. When I finally get in and I hit card so I can freeze or unfreeze it never loads so I’m stuck for a day unable to do either. I have given it 8 months in hopes they would fix this online banking and app but they have lacked even when I have to drive 15 mins just to go into the bank because the app does not work. Very inconvenient! So they have lost a long time member (of 25 years) because of the lack of any kind of support even with tellers (depending the location you go to) I have withdrawn most of my funds waiting for my CD to mature to take it out also!

I’ve give the new update some time…

It’s slow, buggy, and annoying. It should not take minutes to load pages in an app… and half the time face ID fails. Please, please, please fix the speed issues, the layout is fine but it’s so dang slow!

Using This App Is Frustrating

Using this app with this new update is frustrating. So I got a new phone and downloaded the app. For some reason I don’t get notifications (even though I’ve allowed them), have made it the primary phone and still don’t get them!! Also, have saved my login info and Face ID for quicker logins but I keep getting a pop up saying you guys can’t validate information. I have to enter my login credentials every time and at times I get a pop up again that says switch user…. I’m seriously debating closing my account that I’ve had with your bank for 10 plus years. It’s just becoming too frustrating and inconvenient

Verification

I hate having to verify that “I’m human” when ever I navigate thru different parts or transactions. Most of the times the “pictures” used for verification are so blurry you can’t see them clearly.

New Update Ruined App

Completely unusable since update. App spends more time down than working. Get used to reading “unable to view account details please try again later”. Complete joke, but was the kick in the pants needed to swap banks.

:(

The app was better before this newest update it already was kinda slow before and now it’s even slower and glitchy and you can only have a certain amount of people logged into the same account and random things that didn’t need to be changed I want the old app back!!

I Miss The Old App!!!

The previous app was working fine… I’m finding it more difficult and confusing to use the app with this new update, to be honest.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. Many have asked why we have changed our online banking services. Simply put, our data processor was no longer providing meaningful updates or sufficient support for the previous online banking system. While the previous mobile app did look and feel efficient, it was lacking many features that customers expect in the mobile experience, such as access to eStatements, or the ability to register for and use Zelle or external transfer. In short, the mobile experience was not good for customers who are mobile-only users, since the mobile app only presented a subset of capabilities compared to the full web site and many online banking features required that the customer move off the mobile app to a computer to accomplish some tasks. Our data processor provides their financial institution clients many different online banking system options, however the system we have moved to is their most modern system and is receiving development time and effort that they are not providing to their older online banking systems. The handwriting is on the wall; the online banking system that we were on is going to be phased out and we can either move now to a system that is under development or we can wait until we are forced to make the change. We find it more advantageous to switch early and be one of the clients that provides feedback and direction about the system than to be at the end of the line and effectively forced to accept the system as-is. As of the time I write this, many of the early, post-conversion, issues we encountered with all customers, no matter if they were accessing on mobile or through a computer, have been addressed. A number of other issues have been presented to our data processor for resolution. Most of these require development and programming and they have to place them into a development queue behind their current programming efforts. If you have any outstanding observations, we’d be happy to take those and pass them on. Please contact your local branch office and we’d be happy to speak with you and collect information to pass onto our data processor.

New App Update Is No Bueno

The new app update makes it so much confusing and difficult use. Makes me want to close my account at Yakima Federal!!! Just the alerts themselves are a nightmare to get. After setting up the alerts I still don’t get push notifications. It’s frustrating!!!

Page sideways on update

Not happy

New system

I really like the new online app, it’s very helpful, easy to follow & offers more options.

I loved this app before the update.

The glitches with this new update are very annoying at best! I know that it is being worked on, and I hope it gets fixed soon!

I do like some of the new features which will be very helpful!!

Looked so much nicer before the update :(

The app works fine, but it was a lot easier to tell where everything was before. I feel especially put off by the changes made to the transactions page. It’s kind of hard to look at now. Functionally it’s good but the aesthetic changes weren’t the best choice.

This update ruined it

The new app update from August 28th has ruined it the experience. The app is clunky, freezes, slow to respond, jittery graphics, it truly feels like a step back to early 2000s. Speed wise exactly the same as using Safari to do banking but even slower loading times. Previous app was a true app with smoothness and no delays.
