As soon as this app and your mobile banking website offers transfers with Zelle, I will make this credit union my main banking option and I will set my direct deposit with you, because I love all the perks you offer. I just simply cannot afford waiting 3 days for a payment to be delivered to another person, at another bank. Update: All the updates included the touch ID and having a user name are very appreciated. I still miss Zelle, someday it will come.

Why was this app updated recently???? The feature that indicates negative and positive amounts in your account was changed and it’s now harder to tell the difference between amounts.. When an amount was deposited into your account, it would be in green with a plus sign to indicate such. (Very easy to see.) When an amount was deducted, it would have a negative sign next to it, to indicate it being deducted. Now the only difference between the two is that amounts being deducted are in parenthesis and amounts being deposited don’t have a parenthesis around the amount. This is the dumbest update you could’ve possibly thought of. This is harder on your eyes and takes longer to determine which amount it being deducted or added into my account. I’ve been using this app for over 4 years. I cannot believe someone actually thought this update was an “improvement.”

I wish it actually sent you balance notifications like what you actually have in your account instead I have to go in every time just to check. It's a bit inconvenient. I’ve even set it to notify me of the balance and it just tells me that it’s met the criteria but not the actual balance. Makes keeping track of your finances that much more tedious. I don’t put all the blame on the app but rather BrightStar itself. I like being able to see my account faster instead of using a browser but I have to type my password in every time and I have to do things manually it’s kind of annoying.
