by Malia96740Finally - Mobile DepositYayyyy - Mobile Deposit was finally added. Took them long enough, but I am grateful because now I don't have to drive to a branch to make a deposit. Thanks HFS!
by TravispremoGreat app, but when can we have mobile deposit?The one thing keeping me tied to my mainland accounts is mobile deposit. Living in Puna means an hour of driving to deposit a check. Mobile deposit would make it a five-star app and institution!

by MherVery convenient.I didn't have problem and I really appreciate them calling when there's a very suspicious transaction.
by KtnkMore updates!!!Just tryed the hfs fcu app and it needs to be updated more. I have more than one account on hfs fcu but it's only allowing me to access one. It doesn't have a feature to add on more accounts to view.
Thank you very much for your review. We didn’t do a good job of explaining how to view multiple accounts in our mobile App. First, please log on to HFS Online Banking and select "Your Preferences > Multiple Accounts." Once accounts have been added through HFS Online Banking, you will have access to them in our mobile App. Thank you again, and please don’t hesitate to contact us if we can help in any way. Mahalo!
