Online Banking has become increasingly popular over the last decade. Users can control their finances, check balances and keep up with payments without walking into a branch; it’s quick, convenient, and simple. 

But today, going to the computer is now what walking into a branch once was (for some). 

Make way for Mobile Banking. With the development of smartphones, users are now able to download mobile banking apps to control their finances from the palm of their hand.

U1 first launched Mobile Banking in 2010 and it’s been growing ever since. Users have the capability to check balances, transfer funds, make bill payments, deposit checks remotely and even apply for loans through their mobile device.

Along many other benefits, the U1 Mobile App is safe and secure. We take online security very seriously and protecting your personal information is a top priority for us.

With that said, some may be hesitant to sign up for Mobile Banking. We understand it may not be a preferred way to bank for some, but for those who are interested or new to U1 Mobile Banking, this quick beginners guide will lay out all the know-hows the app has to offer.

Once the App is downloaded and you’re logged in, you will see popular options within the hamburger menu (Android) or at the bottom (iPhone). Let’s go over some.
