Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
UCU's Mobile Banking holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UCU's Mobile Banking has 2.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of UCU's Mobile Banking's written reviews are positive against 71% of Vicinity CU's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
UCU's Mobile Banking ships an update every 6 months, Vicinity CU monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
