Optum Bank App Reviews

We transfer money over €4 billion every month. We enable individual and business accounts to save 4 million Euros on bank transfer fees. Want to send free money abroad or transfer money abroad for free? Free international money transfer!

Works great and fairly easy to use. To get 5 stars I request the developers to fix an issue with investment balance —> performance results —> “use graph button” section. I am using an iPhone 12 Pro Max and the issue is that there is no graph button on that page. I am, as any other investor would be, interested in knowing how my individual investments are performing as well as overall investments. I can see the overall performance, but not individual performance. Other than that, the app works great.

I absolutely love the app. I have this app for my sons daycare. It’s so easy to use! So easy to submit claims! That’s what I love about it! And you get your funds pretty quickly in my opinion! Definitely wish to be able to continue to use the app as long as am able to!

Decent app but a few features don’t work. When going through the investment menu section, none of the page back and forward buttons work in the the top right corner. Also, if you try to enroll in the investment section, the required agreement check boxes don’t work. It is unfortunate that in under 5 minutes playing with the app I came across 2 navigation issues.

Current version no longer works to pay bills. Going through the steps to pay a bill the app first asks for amount then asks for payee. When it displays the list of payees it uses the payee name rather than the payee nickname as it has in the past. My wife and I use the same provider with different accounts. This results in two payees with the same name but different account numbers and different nicknames. Since neither nickname nor account number can be viewed when trying to pay a bill there is no way to identify the correct payee. This app is now effectively useless.

Does not work 99.9% of the time... Does not work 99.9% of the time from login. I’ve had this app and have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and that has not improved the errors. I did, however, a month or so ago receive a message on the app to uninstall and reinstall due to updates and it worked a few times after that but hasn’t since. “Error: there was a login error.” This error persistently is received upon login after spinning for several mins. Please review and fix. When it works, it works!!

Found old version more functional. While I’ve never been an overall fan of the Optum app design, and often find myself fumbling around to find functionality, the new version 2.0.0, 2.0.1 seem to be missing some functionality that existed previously in some of the 1.9.xx versions. In 2.0, when I go to reimburse myself for an expense, I don’t see the options to select who the service was for which was in the previous version. Perhaps the service recipient isn’t necessarily required, but it can be useful if you are looking through history. Also, if you submit a reimbursement without a receipt, there does not appear to be a way to associate the receipt with the reimbursement after the fact, in the old version you were able to go to Expense Journal and add or associate the receipt after the fact, where in the new version you can add a receipt, but not associate it with a reimbursement or payment record. Hopefully these were perhaps overlooked functionality in the redesign and get fixed/added shortly, but as of right now, I find myself missing the previous version.

App and desktop won’t transfer funds to investment acct. Ever since I set up my account, I click “transfer funds” to try to move funds from my HSA to the investment accounts Optum offers. Several radio buttons appear under “Transfer” with only the first button “use HSA to purchase funds” being highlighted. Neither the app or the desktop version allows me to choose any other radio button and get a confirmation color change, but there are changes that occur to the page with each attempt to click other radio buttons. I scroll down and enter the amount to transfer which is confirmed by the dollar amount turning green. However, when I click the transfer button, a red box appears stating I have to “select an option”. It will not allow any other radio buttons or anything to be clicked on. The other buttons don’t work so there are no options. Therefore no money can be transferred. I called customer support who sent me to IT support. IT support told me not to use the app bc it doesn’t work right. The desktop does the same thing....got no response. Called again and the recording stated “if you’re calling from a rotary phone...”. Maybe that’s the problem. Optum is worried about rotary phones when they need to worry about online banking web design. Seems like they’re way behind the times. Looking to get out of this ASAP. I heard there’s a music device called an 8-track player Optum. Maybe you’ll be the first one on your block?

Limited functionality, confusing, and awful service. On its face the app works fine, but it apparently limits a lot of functionality and information (compared to browser access) in a way that is materially misleading. I use it for my HSA and it pushed me to investment through a 3rd company without telling me that in-house mutual fund options were also available to me. To top it off, Optum Bank’s customer service is atrocious. Agents aren’t the least bit knowledgeable or helpful. Got hung up on once when I asked for a supervisor, and then inexplicably transferred to a random health insurance company (not even mine!) a second time while holding for some basic info. Why my employer uses this poor excuse of a bank for our HSA is beyond me.

Just a reminder, this app is a nightmare.. I notice 91% of the reviews in the last 8 months are one to two stars. This app has been making me miserable since I signed up for an HSA three years ago. Let me log in? No, wrong email. Yes, it’s the right email. No, you’ve never used this app. Yes, please accept my password. No, reset it. Ok, fine I give up and I reset it. No, not that one. Reset it again. Check your email. Again. Try your old password. No, you can’t use a password you’ve used before even though that’s the password we said is wrong. Still want to check your balance? No, just give up. Want to turn on Face ID? No, also, your password is wrong again now. Don’t worry about your balance, just assume, also we hate you.

Frustratingly inadequate. As other reviewers point out, this app has functionality limitations that create a horrid user experience. You can only upload photos from your phone’s native photo app; it can’t access receipts saved in a document storage tool like Google Drive. That’s a royal nuisance for anyone who organizes their receipts for future reimbursement. The lack of a batch claim process for pharmaceutical receipts is beyond infuriating. Nothing says poor UX like having to submit hundreds of individual claims for pharmacy receipts that are a couple of dollars apiece. Combined with the document storage/access problem outlined above, this makes the app unwieldy and essentially unusable. I’m forced to submit reimbursement claims via the browser, rather than the app. Why did they even bother?

Suspended for using my card. I would give zero stars if I could. I got an email saying Optum Bank had suspended my account because I used to card. They asked for emails of my receipts. I sent them all in. I’ve only used the card for my medical expenses and to get new glasses. That’s exactly what this card is for. Last year they kept $375 because I didn’t spend it in time. Now they’re trying to steal my money again. I don’t understand how they can keep me from spending my own money?!

We apologize for any inconvenience. I hate this phrase. I’ve seen it too many times. Attaching a rcpt to a claim should be easy but there are no clear directions. I figured it out by doing it wrong 1st. I am finding this FSA account and app more frustrating than ever. In part that I now must submit rcpts for every transaction, which I didn’t know at the beginning. I didn’t have to with the plan we had the yr before but it was a different company. I mean really, it’s an imaging center & a Dentist office - is it that hard to figure that it is a medical claim & I’m not buying bubble gum with it. 🙄

Archaic technology, glitchy and very frustrating. I have used this app to manage my FSA funds and the experience has been super frustrating. This is unacceptable considering that I am relying on this company to access funds for medical necessities. I have had to submit receipts multiple times because the app and website continue to show claims as missing my receipts. The camera is difficult to use because it has an automatic crop function that crops out important information unless you disable it. Also, the information on the app does not match their website information. Very frustrating. There should be fines for this kind of incompetence on the part of app developers, especially considering that some people depend on these funds for timley medical care!

Useful and nicely designed for HSA. I came here to review just because I appreciated the non-invasiveness of their rating prompt so much. The app asked me if I enjoy it and when I answered “yes” it just thanked me and didn’t ask me to rate. My only gripe is that Betterment doesn’t seem to open correctly - I want to put in my investment options but it doesn’t want to link correctly. Otherwise this app suits my HSA needs.

Sign-in faulty, limited functionality. I’ve repeatedly tried to use my healthsafe Id to sign in and it only works on the website on desktop. I tried updating, re-downloading, etc. But it doesn’t work. Or works inconsistently. I also thought it would allow you to essentially use the FSA balance directly for approved products or manage reimbursements and I’ve been unable to do that. Pretty much as useful as a doc that lists your balance.

App can't transfer funds to invest, but neither can website. I have tried at least fifty times to transfer funds from HSA cash to investments. App radio buttons don't work. So I tried the website and they don't work there either. Support said to enable cookies. I guess their app is not an app, just a mobile website interface since a true app does not use cookies. I tried Chrome, Safari, etc. Cookies are enabled. No go. I finally gave up and rebalanced my portfolio to one fund so the other funds would quit losing money. Optum, this is a sad fail. Update: apparently Optum has fixed these issues but it was too late for me - I had already closed my account. I recommend the Lively app instead.

Another dysfunctional finance app. It's bad enough getting a reimbursement approval from Optum in a reasonable timeframe but now we have to deal with an unreliable app with a very odd receipt upload interface. It's difficult to understand if you have uploaded an image or if you have attached it to your reimbursement request. Either way, the experience needs work. Optum needs better support to respond sooner. I have had a reimbursement for myself sitting in approval purgatory for three weeks now. Think about this for one second, I am asking to get my own money back and it's taking 3 weeks. you start to question the purpose of these FSAs. Who is accountable here?

Not at all designed with user in mind. Stupid setup: if you are paying a few bills from the same 1 hospital, you can’t see the new payee name you have just entered and paid the 1st of its bills. You have to reenter it again, get another phone verification and the whole 9 yards before you can pay the 2nd bill. This is but 1 of the many bugs. More often than not, a payment you submitted months ago is still shown as “submitted” in status, in red, instead of paid. Was this app built by a teenager?

Doesn’t function for its primary purpose. Uploading and tracking receipts is not intuitive or simple at all. The flow is frustrating, the language is confusing, and I often get error messages just trying to load receipts. I also have claims rejected for very simple and straight forward submissions like a copay. The messages I receive in the app version are not consistent with the mail notices, and it’s unclear why the desktop version of my account isn’t consistent either. Overall, I don’t enjoy Optum as a service and it’s technology is frustrating

Payment with app. Would be great if you could add the option for retailers/doctors to take payment with the app. Either to show the full card number for them to manually type in (just as if the mag stripe wasn’t working). I see the option to see the last four of the card but not the whole number. Or for those with scanning devices (ie Target/CVS).

Update was a downgrade. The app used to be incredibly user friendly. I could take screenshots of receipts on my phone and submit to the expense journal on the app on my phone. Now with the update that they say is supposed to be better, I can’t even see the expense journal and I definitely can’t submit expenses for reimbursement. I don’t have enough on my hsa right now to reimburse all our medical bills so I pay them on a credit card and submit for reimbursement when it has accumulated enough. Now with the update I can’t see any of it and have to actually login to the account on my computer.

Needs one adjustment. I absolutely love this app!! It’s so helpful for keeping track of my medical expenses. Plus I can’t pay my doctors straight through the app! I do wish when you paid something or at least made a payment it would show that somehow. I’m currently having to completely delete entries and redo them when a new bill comes in. Or am I doing it wrong?????

2002 called, they want their app back. Slowest app I have ever used. It's like using an old DOS system, it's processing, processing... and heaven forbid you want to switch from your HSA to your investments- it keeps flashing one screen, then another, then bars sweep from left to right, just like something is really happening! But it's not. Every second time I use the app I need to re-login with my passcode, so faceID doesn't work. It doesn't remember my device, despite clicking "remember me" each time, so I have to answer security questions... Ugh. Not bad for an app if we were in 2002, but these days? This is hands down the worst app I have used.

Making payments is always a headache. It’s always been a pain to make a payment, but they recently did an update and it’s even worse. Recommendation to Optum app developers... create a way for users to click “make a payment” when under the saved payee. With the new update, even when I click on pay an expense then select the payee/acct number it asks me to re-enter everything! Easier to go on the provider website. Shouldn’t be this hard to create a useable app for a bank this size.

Major headaches. The app created major headaches for me that am almost 9 months on and yet to resolve Apparently if you issue payment through the app it facilitates by check. Oh, you selected a dependent for who the payment was for? Yeah, we don’t put that name on the check we put the main account holder. Oh, you put the account number for the patient? Yeah, sometimes we don’t register that you put that in and just send the check with the main account holder name only. Oh, so there was an issue with your payment(s) getting allocated to the wrong account? Yeah, because it is done with a check we can recall a refund like we could have for a debit card transaction. Ultimately the lesson learned for me is to use the app to check account balances and that is it. Use your debit card to pay your bill.

Investment Account Transfer Not Working. I am unable to submit transfers of funds from my HSA account into my HSA investment account. The error is on the “Transfer Funds” page. I am not able to select any of the “Frequency” options. I click on one of them and it gives me the “Transfer Amount” box but I can not select “Continue” it gives me the error “Select one of these options”.... This same error happens on OSX Safari, and Google Chrome sometimes. The other times Chrome just doesn’t even load the account login pages. It’s 2019 please update compatibility to Google Chrome and Safari both desktop and mobile versions please. I just called customer support to submit this error and was told that Microsoft Edge browser was the only one that is supported 100%. This makes it tough to conduct business when I only have a PC at home and I’m out of town for work or not at the house.

IPad version doesn’t work. The iPhone version of this is pretty good, which is why I give it 2 stars instead of 1, and currently the only way I can actually access my UHC HSA account. The iPad version doesn’t work because the Captcha doesn’t show and so login fails. The web access to Optum Banlk also hasn’t been working. I tried with FireFox, Chrome, Safari and Opera and kept getting the same message of “temporarily unavailable” for seven days in a row. Optum tech support apparently is baffled because they haven’t gotten back to me with a solution. I haven’t tried transferring money yet. Given some of the feedback I’m reading, I’m nervous. Kinda useless to have an account you can’t access or use properly.

Horrible app, archaic.. Coming from Health Equity this app is way behind in advancement. Glitchy and never seems to update. I’ve had the same “needs your attn” receipt request for months on this app that never go away. The only thing it seems to be good for is checking balances. I called in to customer service and the experience was even worse. Was told all the receipts were cleared and there were three more added I can t even see on the computer or app! Was told they would email their team for a fix and it never happened. Uploading is a nightmare on the app and on the computer. On the app no PDFs allowed just pictures from camera roll or live. On the computer PDFs do not upload correctly. Like others have said the receipt file get overloaded and nothing gets done correctly. Please fix these issues. I hope my employer reconsiders Optum in the future.

Great concept if it worked. This app is horribly unreliable. Just updated five days ago and it still doesn’t work properly. The navigation is clunky and not at all intuitive. It gives you no option to make contact with the organization. It gives you an error messages constantly. Very, very disappointed in this application. The real problem is that we have deadlines to submit receipts, and this app should be the preferred way to do that. But so far out of the five times I’ve tried to use it, it’s only been functioning one of them. And even then it was impossible to see a confirmation that it had actually accepted the receipt. This needs to be addressed because this is a huge hassle to the clients of Optum’s Flex spending programs.

Have yet to find the value in this app. I can download receipts to the app which is awesome...but it’s not attached to my account so it’s pretty much a worthless feature. I have a camera on my phone and can download pictures to an email just as easily from there. I can’t send receipts in the app or attach them to my unverified purchases...which is, by the way, all of them because even though my doctors are all in a multi-disciplinary clinic with over 100 locations in my community, you don’t recognize them as a health care provider. Come On! I know that you can provide better customer service than this.

Great App, some login and Touch/Face ID options would be nice.. Very useful, easy to use app that is essentially a pointer to mobile website content. The quick access to balances and receipt logging is very handy to have right on the phone. My only criticism is while the app does have Touch (and I assume Face) ID enabled by default there is no prompt like other banking apps have to enable such feature. This means the user has to always remember to log out if they want to renter a password each time they open the app.

Login issues. The app is great when it works for the most part. Every time that I login with face ID, it says that there’s a login error…repeatedly. And there’s no option to turn it off and manually login instead. I’m then forced to remove the app, restart my phone, reinstall the app before it works again….so I have to use the browser instead. Please fix this. It’s a nightmare.

Provides Basic Functionality with Room to Improve. Overall love the functionality of the app, with some minor complaints. There’s a layout issue that even shows up in the screenshot on the App Store, where the top border doesn’t correctly align with the top of the screen. +1 star if that gets fixed. The other complaint would be that whenever you do anything with investments it pulls up a mobile site instead of happening in app. +1 star to correct that.

Worst Updates. The app always requests full log on details no matter if you ‘save’ it. It always requests validation regardless if you ‘save’ the phone details. It takes forever to log in due to all the hurdles to log on. When you’re finally in the app, it doesn’t display all the details you need. Submitting receipts should be easy but it never verifies if it has been received/sent anywhere for you to reference. The prompts keep telling me to submit receipts. This app is awful.

Touch login issues. The app is fine once you get into it. Several times over the last year I’ve had to relog in with the user name and password because the touch login would not allow me to. No other banking app I have requires this. It must be a security feature and is a pain in the hindquarters for the user.

Consistently frustrating experience. I get hives every time I want to submit a request for refund. The app just purely littered with bugs and the experience is glaringly bad. I always find it odd, that when the developer sees consistent critical/constructive feedback that nothing is done about it. Even the website has “temporarily unavailable” on a consistent basis. UnitedHealth is a Fortune 500 company, and Optum is your highest and fastest growth unit. Yet it’s just perplexing that Optum Bank provides an extremely unfriendly app. Thanks for listening to the feedback.

Too many bugs. The app continues to be buggy. When I open the app at times I get multiple error pop-ups. This is pretty annoying especially when you need to access I go quickly. I then have to call customer service which put me on a long hold time. My iPhone is up to date so it’s definitely not my OS.

Cancelled my card. App works fine. But the bank arbitrarily decided to cancel my debit card without telling me. I should mention I’ve only had the card for a month and have funds in my account. So there I am, at the pharmacy, going to pay for my prescription ms for the first time with my new card and it’s declined. Call customer service and all I get is they were so concerned about my security they decided to cancel my card, upgrade their system, and then send me a new card. Not to worry, my new card will be here in a week or so

Good app, but needs improvement. This is a pretty decent app, and better than many out there for larger financial institutions. However, it still has room for improvement. My main issue with the app is the ability to upload receipts via iphone/ipad, which can be cumbersome. The app limits you to uploading receipts from your camera or your photo library (no pdf's-unless you screenshot them and then upload the screenshot, or unless you uplod them via the regular desktop website). The other issue with this functionality is the fact that when you are creating an entry and need to upload multiple documents for a qualifed expense - say for example a receipt and visit summary as support for the expense- it does allow you to upload mutiple pages per entry, but when these are displayed in the receipts gallery, they will show as two separate thumbnails/entries. This is frustrating because soon your receipt gallery gets cluttered with so many thumbnails. Please fix these two issues, and will definitely give it a higher rating. Allow uploading of PDF's and other documents via the share sheet functionality or the Files app on iphone/ipad-do not limit this option to only photos Allow multiple pages to be stored under one entry/thumbnail in the receipt gallery (if I have a receipt, a visit summary, and a prescription from a doctors appointment and I want to upload them to have support for my qualified expense, I do not want to see three different thumbnails in the receipt gallery)

Receipts no longer show!!. This app is absolutely horrible!! Optum Bank is conveniently asking for a March 2019 receipt almost a year later. But, go figure, the optum bank app that encouraged receipt upload will no longer show any of my receipts. The app just spins and looks like it is loading and nothing ever happens! So, now I’m going to have to call my medical provider to ask for another copy of the receipt that is already saved on the optum bank app. This issue needs to be fixed or you need to update the app to communicate with the website so we can view our receipts on the website. Also, why can’t you submit a receipt request on the app? It doesn’t make any sense to have an option to save your receipts to the app but then when optum bank asks for a receipt you can only submit this on the website. If the app allows you to save receipts then there should be the option to upload that receipt to optum bank in the app when requested. Instead we have to take a screen shot of the receipt from the app (assuming it ever loads-see complaint above), then email the receipt to myself to save to my computer to upload to the optum bank website.

Slow contributions shown on the app. Don’t know why it would take a month to show my contribution on the app each month. My paycheck would show the deduction this month, and this app wouldn’t show the contribution until next month. Besides that the app has good layout, and it’s easy to navigate. Just hope it could fix this problem and could show my contribution sooner. Thanks

Slow, Clunky, Buggy, Always broken. From one developer to another - we can do better. Ive been using this app for a couple years now. This app constantly has at least one major outage or bug going on. Lately, it's the investment part that is a hot mess. Sometimes the investment dashboard takes 4-8 mins to load - and that's on a brand new iPhone 13 Pro with a 200 Mbps down connection. It's one of the slowest and buggiest apps on my entire phone. I'll be moving funds out to another HSA soon. The only reason I put up with it now is for convenience of my employer's payroll processing directly to it. Beyond employer integrations, it is sub par and barebones in almost all other areas. Dissapointing. Employers probably only use it because it's cheap and part of UHC.

Couldn’t get to work. I love the idea. I loaded it but couldn’t get it to launch in a week of trying. Today the sign in screen finally loaded but it would not recognize my log in and password. I can’t imagine I need a separate registration for the phone vs a PC so I finally gave up and deleted the app. Maybe some updates will get it working better and I’ll try again.

Continual loop to sign in. So incredibly frustrating that I type in my credentials AFTER using Face ID. Click on Remember me. That doesn’t work. Go to settings to try to save the option to logon with Face ID/ fingerprint. It’s gone. Several times I have used the correct credentials that worked the day before then breaks only to find out waiting for a couple days the same credentials work. No idea how you can have such a poor user experience that seems to be trying to keep me from logging in at multiple attempts. Terrible. Just terrible. You have to try to be this bad. Can’t be an accident.

Glitchy again. Tried to input my name as patient but there were no options for patients. Just a blank screen that said “done”. I had to cancel and go back two pages then do it all again. Finally let me select the family member who received treatment. This app has been clunky since the beginning. I stopped using it and only used the website for awhile. I started using the app again last year as it seemed that the bugs had been worked out. This update is a step backwards

New version makes things harder. The older version of this app worked just fine, but they came out with a new version which no longer appears to let you go to your expense journal. I don’t see a way to view all of my outstanding (unpaid) expenses other than looking at all of the receipts (useless). Now I have to use the web app to reimburse myself. Disappointing.

Very slow at tracking deposit activities. This is not a modern banking mobile application application! I have made three deposits across two days and the application still does not reflect even a pending or inflight deposit. Additionally it took over 24 hours to receive a confirmation email for my deposits. What’s up OptumBank? Come into the modern area. I am only using you because my company has chosen you. This is my only financial app that does not properly track money! Proceed with caution folks.

Confused with this bank. I have an HSA with Optum that has been in effect since 2008. I opened an MSA account this year. I have been told that my HSA has been converted to an MSA. How did they do that?? There are different rules for these two types of accounts. I am unable to view or access my HSA on the website and can only see and access the MSA. Some serious work needs to be done to their website and internal procedures if they are going to offer both products to the public.

Warning! This provider makes gross errors and support stinks. Optum has some of the worst financial institution support you will find. They screwed up a funds application to other tax year form. They can’t read their own form. Most recently they advertised a link to Schwab brokerage which I set up but as many others have noted in these reviews, they don’t actually allow transfers. I got no clear answers when emailing their support. I then picked up the phone to talk to Optums support live. I got an extremely rude person who kept talking over me and then abruptly put me on a long hold. I asked for a supervisor but they said there weren’t any working today. I would encourage others to file complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Unfortunately my employers benefits coordinator has selected this as the only option but I will be looking into alternatives. The updated app more prominently displays the link to Schwab Brokerage. What’s even more confusing is I closed the Schwab account. Optum replied to my CFPB complaint blaming my employer for their broken app. Pitiful. Do not recommend! Update: worse actions occurred. I filled out a form for a partial funds transfer and Optum EMPTIED MY ACCOUNT! They then blamed my employer. Absolutely horrific company. Do not do business with them!!!!

Used to work, hopeful they will fix it. For the majority of the year I used this app with no issue. It was a little difficult to understand but a big part of that was I had never had an FSA before and didn’t know what I was doing. I think it was September 2020 it started asking for my password every time, my fingerprint would no longer work. The last few weeks (now into November) I cannot even log in. It freezes and closes and will not progress. I can log into the website with no problem. Hopefully they can fix this as it was super helpful before.

Somewhat easy to use. I have found this app somewhat easy to use… but not for management of the investment side of the account - have to log in to the account not using the app to move funds around.

App will not update. Not sure why but upon opening the app it says it needs to update. Press update and it directs you to the App Store. No update is required as the current app status is “open”. Not sure what the disconnect is between Optum and Apple. Can’t conveniently access through the app now.

I wish app was more like website. Optum Bank website is very simply laid out. If you need to submit a receipt, it indicates it for you so you can’t miss. The app is more of a general overview of your account with limited functionality. You can upload receipts but there is no place to show you what needs to be uploaded, so you are uploading blindly and just hoping you will hit the right one that they are requesting.

Everything at a glance. I use this app to track my HSA account. It’s easy to see where my money goes, and can confirm the deposits from my employer.

Not useful, unable to submit mobile claims. The app itself is fine. Works smoothly, no apparent bugs. You can take a picture of your receipt with the app to be stored in your Optum file, but cannot submit them, neither in the app or on the desktop version. There is zero usefulness to the app without the capability to submit on the go or take a picture & use that pic to submit later for HSA or FSA users. I’ll be deleting the app.

Easiest HSA app out there. I’ve had three HSA’s in the last few years and this app is the most intuitive. Great technology updates always roll out keeping it fresh

Handy app, found a bug. I like the app. Easy way to keep up with my HSA! I tried to order a replacement card and can't do it. Every time I click the submit button the app crashes. Otherwise, keep up the good work!

What’s the point. I have downloaded the app and have three optum accounts. This app will not let me download receipts it will not allow me to add my bank information to receive direct deposit for reimbursements. Literally all I can do is look at how much money I have in each account.. I can just as easily call and find out with all the hassle this app is causing. Can you do something about this.. I want the app to make life easier

Not the worst. I am often unable to successfully login. I receive a “temporarily unavailable” notification after several minutes and then get stuck in a loop. I also noticed it takes several days for balance to reflect contributions. Not terrible, but not great.

App doesn’t accept contributions. Can’t believe this bank and its app does not accept mobile deposits. Have had multiple issues with mobile deposits. Sometimes it doesn’t accept them and sometimes it accepts them but they never show up in your account. Multiple service requests to technical support have resulted in no improvement. Only recourse is to make deposits like they were done last century and mail them in. FIX your app and get it into the 21st century.

Optum App Better than Webpage. I like the app because you can find and perform every transaction much easier than in the webpage. Going through the app is like everything is at your fingertips.

Bare minimum- no Face ID. Current version won’t accept Face ID, must use a password every time as it won’t even remember last used. When you finally log in, sometimes you can get options to work, other times it crashes or gives and error. Older versions worked fine, not sure what happened.

Slow and unreliable. This is the worst HSA app ever. My company used to be with Fidelity which was far superior. This app takes forever to credit your account when you make a transfer to your HSA. They also double charged my bank account for contributions by $1500 this year. Any payments to my doctors office takes an unbelievable long amount of time to be sent to them. The sooner my company stops using Optum, the better!

Good app but biometric login fails most of the time. The app is adequate and does what I need it to do. My biggest frustration is that the thumbprint biometric login fails the vast majority of the time. With strong passwords, it’s a real pain to have to log in manually each time.

No way to record expense. With old app I was able to record my expenses and upload receipts right into it. The new app does not have that functionality. If this does not get addresses then I’m moving my account. Good thing for that it’s my old account and not tied to my employer. I will give them a month to see if they add this functionality back again.

Ugh. Inconsistent and not iOS-like. Feels like a first rev. Missing out on some things that iOS does consistently all over the place like form behavior and data entry. Also I though it was great that it would save “payees” for me but I’m using this for an HSA and it won’t let me save my family members. I might try again later but for now I’ll go back to the website :(

It works but it’s clunky. I’ve used the app a number of times to submit a reimbursement for a medical expense. It’s not straightforward or intuitive. Also the login process is terrible, requiring me to go through two rounds of login screens with healthsafe-id and then receive a 2FA text. TouchID would be so much better. In the end it works but it’s frustrating and cumbersome. Could use a lot of UI/UX help.

App is missing dollars va online version. I called Optum today to report that recently I noticed a large discrepancy in dollars between the App and online version. The App is missing several thousand dollars which appears to be because the Funds under the HSA Investment Plan aren’t showing up at all! I was told to always rely on the online version and NOT the App!!! This does not give me much comfort in using their App! I guess I’ll just stay with the online access.

Representative Jorge. I just called and representative Jorge assisted me. Apparently, my HRA no longer covers vision, so I had to repay Optum for my prescription Glasses. Jorge was professional and thoroughly explained my benefits and the process to repay the funds. His friendliness helped make repayment a positive event.

The worst for ease of use. I have to reset my password every two weeks because this app doesn’t work with facial recognition. It might as well ask me to call every two weeks to get information on my account. I am not using this account by choice since my company makes those decisions so I feel like I am being doubly punished just to see what my balances are. And don’t even get me started on how it takes about a week for funds to show up from payroll deduction.

Update App. So apparently the app won’t let me in because I need to update to the latest version. I didn’t have an option to update so I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it’s still saying the same thing. It’s super frustrating when I’m in dire need of accessing my account. It doesn’t help that the website is under maintenance right now either.

Terrible Company. Just a useless app. The company rips you off and takes out larges fees every month. If you roll over the account, it will take about a month and they still charge fees while it’s happening. Customer support by email doesn’t work and customer support by phone are typically not helpful and they avoid letting you take the survey afterward by putting you on hold.

App broken ios13. Great app until it broke with iOS 13 release. Please fix/update. Tries to launch and crashes, splash screen stays active but doesn’t update in background.

upgrades needed. I’d like to see a list instead of a pie chart for analyzing performance. The pie chart is incredibly inefficient and requires too many clicks to display data. Color coding is efficient. The main dashboard total for Stocks usually does not match the investments dashboard. Please make them the same calculation.

Haven’t been able to load app or webpage for months. I log in but the site never loads. This is in the app and on the web page on several devices. I don’t even really know how to access support since the page wants you to log in to report anything. - Stuck without access.

Worst interface and basic functionality. I feel like I’m using a 1980s app that integrates with 5 different data sets and loads everything on a unique basis. There is no useful left hand navigation menu and hard to access investment performance. With the prevalence of HSA would think UHC would invest more in this tech. Do not recommend!

Great Company, Mediocre App. Optum Bank has great customer service. I always get a knowledgeable live person when calling. However, their app lacks the ability to send notifications when money moves in or out of the account - a major deficiency in this world of identity theft.

Expand the detail area. Please expand the detail area so we can write a better description when we submit an Expense. Thank you

Not working. Have been trying to access my account for months, even went to the website and says temporarily unavailable. Would be nice to be able to access my information. Also called the customer service number and there is a clicking noise in the background??

Smooth App, Needs Fixes. Onboarding the app menus can seem overwhelming, but the "I want to" is helpful. If the "Menu" tab was eliminated, then almost all use cases are still supported. Also, "Remember this device" isn't working, I wish it had Face ID

Easy to View Payments and Submit Claims. I appreciate the ease of viewing the HSA payments I’ve made on the app,which helps me keep track of my medical expenses. The claims submission process is also easy, and I like the fact that I can organize and review the documents I submit for payment on the app.

Excellent User Experience. This app was intuitive, easy to navigate and provided me with all the information I needed. Finally a healthcare app that has all my HSA information and options in one area.

Can’t get past login screen (stuck on blank page). Latest version won’t even let me log in. I logged in on the website to make sure my info was correct, no problems there. But when I log in to the app, i enter my credentials and then get to a blank screen with the Optum Logo on top, it’s not acting like it’s loading or waiting at all, it just sits there. Essentially I can’t use the app... I tried deleting and reinstalling the app, same issue. Please fix.

Mutual Fund Info Incorrect vs Website. The app with new update only shows a single mutual fund account info. If you have multiple accounts only one is shown and overall account totals are wrong. However, it look correct on the website and includes all accounts. Once fixed the app is a 4 or a 5!

Qualified Med Expense Search. I love most everything about this app however, the Qualified Med Expense Search option doesn’t work. It “thinks” and never goes to any screen that allows me to view anything.

Old App was better. Optum recently re formatted their app and I find it to be much less user friendly. The biggest and most frustrating change is they removed the expense journal feature to log expenses for future reimbursement. I now have to log into the website to use that feature which is a huge “pia”. Bring back the journal to the app!!!

Please add an option to lock your card. When can I expect to see it available. The other banking institutions already have it.

Can’t see amount invested. If you click through enough buttons I think you can find a percentage of loss/gain but it would be nice to be able to see the amount I have invested. Making the % loss/gain easier to access would be nice too!

So slow. Slowest app I’ve ever encountered. Every time I go to transfer funds, the Webpage (and app) take a very long time to load, or just don’t load at all. I then have to give up, and can’t make my investments. The app also frequently forgets your username/password and I have to go re-login many times. I agree with others that it feels like this app was designed more than five years ago and they never made any updates to it

Mediocre app. The UI is clumsy, the app is slow and clearly is just a façade for the website rather than a full-featured app, and now with the latest update I can no longer view my HSA investments. I’d say this looks like it was designed by high schoolers, but that would be an insult to high schoolers. Every other banking app I use is better than this, and if my HSA was elsewhere I’d happily delete this app and never download it again.

App crash. I’ve had this app for the last 3 years with no issues. Within the last week or so, it’s been crashing on startup. I’ve power cycled my phone and reinstalled the app to no avail. I have the iPhone 14 ProMax with iOS 16.3.1. I tried to reach tech support, but could only find FAQ.

Works but currently buggy and crashes.. When the app works normally it’s great. Easy ti use and get reimbursements. Currently, app cannot open and login without crashing or the opening screen reloading over and over again.

Loss of Functionality. Why take away the expense journal? Your website still has features such as this for keeping up with expenses before requesting reimbursements. Makes no sense to remove from the app. Would also be helpful if your call center agents were users of your product so that they could truly support issues versus putting you on hold 20 times while they try to find answers.

Horrible. App has problems transferring funds, app is slow and clunky on new iPhone 13. App stays in continuous loop all the time. After transferring funds it took more than six days to show up in my account. When that happened I thought maybe the money got misappropriated. What good is a link to another account if it doesn’t function the way it should.

Slow and impossible. The only reason this gets any stars is that it connects to my HSA account and doesn’t crash. However, it is so painful to use. It literally can take up to 15 seconds to refresh a page (like when selling investments) and the UX is impossible to navigate or find what you need. Very frustrating scrape of the website which is also terrible to use.

Great improvements. Updated interface is easy to use, very responsive. Definitely an improvement over previous versions

Easy to use - great options. The last time I used an HSA account I had to go through a lot of hoops to get reimbursed. I love that I can quickly see my balance, pending transactions and upload receipts from my phone.

Bad app. This app will launch. It brings you to the sign in page. I am able to enter credentials then it acts like it is going to take you to the account page however,it just comes back to then sign in page again requiring the credentials again. It worked great before the latest update.

Pending Contributions. If you’ve made a contribution and it’s pending, the app does NOT indicate it’s pending. Every year I have to call and speak with an agent to confirm it’s in fact received and pending. Yes, I am aware it takes several days to process, however, the app should indicate it’s pending.

Unable to get into App anymore. When logging onto the App, it says I’m not using the latest version and to update to the latest version. So when I hit update it goes to the app and says open and not update. It keeps going in a circle. I’ve uninstalled and installed. The app just started doing this. I’m not sure what is going on.
