Merrill Edge

doubtful rating

A brokerage app glued to a bank, and clunky for it. It shows your Bank of America accounts and cards before your portfolio, and you have to hunt for the trade button. A white screen after login and weak security turn simple tasks into a chore.

About the rating

A 2.28 text average and just 19 percent five-star reviews against a 4.64 store rating. Complaints are specific and repeated (white screen, 2FA failures), while the praise is generic. The gap is a red flag.

Strengths

What users love

  • Integration with the Bank of America app
  • Desktop-level data
  • Solid support for some clients
  • And a long relationship with the broker.
Weak spots

What users hate

  • White screen after Face ID login
  • Dated security with no passkeys
  • Banking tabs burying trading
  • A hard-to-find trade button
  • Slow execution
  • And shaky iPad support.

Who it is for

Existing Bank of America customers who care about one ecosystem more than smooth trading.
