First National Bank of Omaha

Customer service suck. I was trying to cancel my insurance plan and was given the runaround. The manager was like I just click a button and it goes away - called in months prior and it was never done... horrible service.

I applied for a Scheels Visa and was declined with good credit. They are a waste of time. After seeing complaints about the card and finding out it was through First National, I may have been saved a lot of headache. They have earned their abysmal rating on Consumer Affairs. Don't waste your time with this outrageous, left leaning Anti American company.

Called today to cancel Sun Country VISA (really First Bankcard) since in the latest Sep Statement (due Sep 20) they posted $69.00 Annual Fee. Well hold on!

They will not cancel the card until I pay $69 annual fee. But that's the reason I am canceling the card!? This is the only credit card as far as I know, that you can not cancel without paying upcoming renewal fee which just posted on your account. I am not even late. They are hiding behind small print posted in previous statement, good luck finding it, where they claim that they issued "renewal notice". This may be legal but in my mind this is highly unethical. What else to expect from such a company. So to say it simply - stay away!

I did my research and FNBO Direct was the top rated bank in the country. I created an account and the first year or so everything went well. I thought that it would be wise to have all of our $ in one bank so I convinced my partner that we should move our money there. We opened an account for him only and a joint account for the house/bills/etc. It has been an absolute nightmare! We deposited our work checks to the account and had to wait a week for them to be available and when I called, I was told up to 10 business days. WHAT? Even after checks from the same payor were deposited.

I've been with this bank for several years now and never missed a payment on any of my accounts and every 6 mo they almost double my limits. Great bank. I started out with two cards with $5300 limit and now its $15000.00 and the other card which is a Amex and it started out as $8000.00 and now it's $ 24000.00. You take care of your accounts and they will reward you.

Have used this card for years and never ever missed a payment. Was hospitalized and missed ONE payment - got a letter informing me of a credit line decrease from $12100 to $3950 which is only $5 short of what I owe on this card. Customer service was no help although I made a payment - more than what was due including the past due amount and a $26 late fee! Yes, American Express should drop this bank fast!!!

I immediately contacted First National Bank of Omaha's Credit Card Department to inform them that a realtor used my credit card and charged unauthorized charges to my credit card. They told me to wait until I received my billing statement. After which I contacted them again and filed a dispute regarding being overcharged and gave them full details. They reversed the charges then later charged them back to my credit card account. I spent several hours on the phone with them to inform them that I did not authorize those charges.

This company should be dropped by American Express. Their customer service is horrible to the point that if you trust them to do a job right they will surely screw it up and then defend themselves. If you want to pay off your card they will not allow it and quote you their disclaimer. BEWARE! In my case I paid them $5800 and change to pay off my card as I have family from out of the country coming to visit, I was moving to another state from a home I had lived in for 16 years and starting a new job.

I don't know if it is because this company is unethical, incompetent or both, but here are the reasons I have closed my account and recommending that nobody do business with this company. About three months after I got the account my statements stopped coming in the mail. I did NOT sign up for electronic delivery because it's for my business and I like to have a paper record. So I was late with one payment ($39.00 late fee plus interest) because of that. After complaining they suggested I signed up for "auto pay". I followed their instructions precisely to do that. Next month, I get a call that the card is "past due". The auto pay never took effect. Another $39.00 late charge and interest. At that point I told them I was paying off the card and cancelling the account. I suspect that they do this so that they can collect interest and late fees since I rarely carry a balance on credit cards, the interest rates are far too high.

There is a membership renew $59 charge in my recent statement. Since I never used this card for a year, I called customer service to cancel CC and close account. The customer service told me that I have to pay next year membership, otherwise can't close account. What, this is the only credit card company I know that you can't cancel your CC without pay renew membership. The customer service told me that on previous month statement FRONT page has a written "Importance Message" to info me the renew fee.

So I happen to check my CS today and saw a nearly 50 point drop. I start looking and see a huge decrease in my credit limit and not high balance. I then call on my First Bank card from Omaha Bank which is my Speedway MasterCard. They then tell me I had 5 late payments which I have zero. Then said I had too young of credit. Said my oldest card is not old enough. It's 12.5 years. Then said I only make the minimum. False. I make 2 payments per month. One the first week, one the 3rd or 4th right before it's due. They then said, "Your last payment was Jan 24th." Again I do not have any lates. My bill is due the 25th each month. I told them to change it back to what it was as it now have screwed up my CS and they said no.

I paid in full the balances on my 2 cards on July 1, 2018, long before the due date. Now, the company is trying to tell me that I owe finance charges for the date of that statement until I paid in full. NO, this is deceptive practice. The statement showed only a balance due and the date due, nothing about extra charges, finance, interest, or otherwise. After reading how other customers have been treated with very long histories with this company, I am only glad I found this out after a year. I no longer want to do business with them and will not pay these 2 charges as it is deceptive and was NEVER made clear. Shame on you First Bank! My other credit card companies treat me very well - you can keep your cards. I have shredded mine now and am done with you.

I’ve had my account with this bank for two years. I’ve never been late never or over my limit and make larger than minimum payments. I recently bought a house in California and to get utilities connected, new accounts and vendors resulted in 10 inquiries on my credit. My credit score dropped temporary because of the inquiries and expenses. By the way, on my credit I have never been late on a payment 100% on time for over 20 years. The drop was only for about three weeks. The bank lowered my credit card limit substantially.

After banking and financing my mortgage for years with FNB, I applied for a HELOC to finance a landscaping project. Not only was the loan officer not helpful in helping me determine the best loan for me, I had to contact her to find out my status as I’d not heard back in 10 days. She told me my loan was not approved despite my stellar credit and payment history of never missing a payment. I felt, having been a customer for over 18 years might have allowed some more counsel on what other options might be available. I got nothing. My family plans on switching our 4 checking accounts and mortgage to another bank that values its customers.

I have 2 credit cards with the bank. I've had the older one for 2.5 years. One day I found out my credit limit was lowered from $14650 to $1000 without warning. I called and they told me it's computer generated. My credit is perfect. I have no bad stuff at all. My utilisation at the time was only $18. High credit score. I charged their card for over $13000 but after that I paid it off within the same statement. I sent a few faxes with no result so far. They said apply for a credit increase. Why would I do that when they may lower it next month? I wish they were reliable. I may just cancel my cards. Many options out there.

After years of having a credit card with First National Bank of Omaha, never being late with a payment, and a credit score that has steadily increased, they dropped my credit limit severely, with no warning. Completely unethical practices. They literally left me with $100 available credit. Do NOT use this bank.

This bank and their credit card department used to be a partner of the NRA (National Rifle Association). Recently they apparently broke their partnership and are not renewing it. So that is the starting point to this conversation. You will see where I am going with this shortly. So, a year ago when I renewed my NRA membership, this card was offered. I applied and they gave me the card even with fair credit at best. I simply did not need the card as I am working to repair my credit and have been paying off balances and doing the right thing to get that moved up. Well, in the past year, I simply forgot about the card, and never actually used it.

I always paid my balance with this card, opened in 2016, never used more than 30% of my credit limit, no late payments on ANY of my accounts in over 6 years. My credit score dropped to 638 due to recent credit activity when I received a home loan (temporary drop I was made aware of in advance) and this FNB of Omaha closed my account. Experian shows closed 04/17/18 and Equifax shows closed 04/01/18, BEFORE I closed on the purchase of my new home. I have yet to receive the letter of notification of account closure they claim to have sent.

I closed my account today 4/15/2018. The method of charging interest is a complete mysterious to me. For example. Supposedly, I was to get a 5.99 interest rate. However, in an attempt to pay off the account - My statement and a phone call to the customer service number indicated I had a balance of $271.00. I sent the entire amount. I called to confirm they received the payment. To my surprise, there was a balance of $27.71. I sent the $28.00. I called a third time to see if the $28.00 was received.

I had a dispute with a vendor over being charged for services not performed. I asked the credit card to put a hold on the payment. If I felt the card company had actually tried to help resolve my dispute I would not be writing this, but it was as if they predetermined to accept the vendor's claims and ignore mine. They put the charge through. Luckily I was able to resolve my situation through the Attorney General Consumer Frauds office.

First National Bank of Omaha Gouges Customers - I was told in December of 2017 that purchases made at any store would hold a 0% interest rate until June of 2018. My wife and I used the card for most of our Christmas purchases based on this information to the tune of around $1,100. I just received my most up to date bill and found that I am paying 20+% interest on the very purchases I was told would be 0%. I called the customer service and was told there was nothing they could do about the issue other than lower my rate to 17.99%. I asked to hear the recorded conversation between myself and their representative and they said they could not allow that and that I would have to get a subpoena for that to happen. I recommend not using this institution for purchases, as I certainly won't in the future.

Horrible card, fees upon fees upon fees even when it's their fault. I made a payment which came back Account not found. I called them and corrected the account number, then processed the payment again. Came back account not found... twice. Called them again. Corrected the account number for billing purposes and had the rude lady read the numbers back to me and told her to take my payment over the phone... at this point they already closed the account because they could not bill me because it kept saying account not found... They got me for $90 in fees. DO NOT USE THIS BANK FOR YOUR CREDIT CARD NEEDS.

I received my cc balance of $2900.00 which included $56.00 of interest because I did not pay off the balance in full from the previous month. So I paid off the whole balance and guess what? The following month I still had a $51.00 interest payment even though I had paid off the entire balance the month before. WTF? That's just outrageous. My other credit card companies do not do this. I am definitely going to cancel this card.

I paid this credit card bank in full and looked online and saw a zero balance, I received a email 2 days later stating I owe $132.69, I called and told them I paid this balance in full and it showed a zero balance. They told me I had what is called "tail end finance charge", they would not remove it, I ended up paying the 132.69. After getting email, l did look at the account online, it showed the 132.69, but payment was $130.00, I guess so they could charge me interest the next month on $2.69, so sad, just a RIP OFF Credit Company, lesson learned. Never Used Them again...

I had nothing but trouble from the beginning. I set up automatic withdrawal THREE times before it went through. When it finally did, payment wasn't withdrawn the first month, so I manually paid online. There was notification that it might take 2 months, as with everything I've ever set up automatic payments for--but it never has taken 2 month on anything else. Ever. This month, I decided to check my account on the day payment was due, and a) No payment had been made, b) Showed "no payment is pending," c) Showed an amount. It was in the evening of the payment due date, so I paid online, as Customer Service was not available, and I did not want late fees and late payment showing up on my credit score.

This bank is totally overcharging the consumers!!! I had a MasterCard with them. Got my bill, paid it in full. Once the payment had posted and my account showed a zero balance I called and closed my account. Now I get another bill for $46. When I called they refused to credit my account. Someone needs to take a class action against them and their sister bank First National Bank of Omaha. I asked for the supervisor. They switched me over and conveniently they don't give out names. These banks are making a killing off of consumers!!!

I had the NRA Visa and paid account off in full, a few months later I get a bill for interest. I called and the lady was rude and cut me off while I was trying to speak, she basically said since I didn't pay off my bill every time I had unpaid interest which makes no sense since I "Paid Account in full". I guess there was interest hiding in a corner somewhere or something. This wasn't the first problem I had with them, stay away. They are crooks and will keep charging you with a $0.00 balance.

I had a M life Rewards Mastercard with them. First thing, I had a difficult time to log into their website because of the password policies they have. Second, once I log in I could not pay or do anything with my card because they suspect my card. I called customer service, entered complete cc no on the IVR and last 4 of my social too.

Horrible... no mercy. I was in an accident and all my credit cards went into charge off. Capital One reinstated my cards. Barclays card still closed the account after I paid but removed all of the bad credit histories. This card, I got a condescending attitude... no mercy regarding what happened to me even after I said I would pay in full so why pay if I am going to have to deal with it anyway. Stay AWAY!!!

FNBO has the worst online banking services... period! Its online platform is the polar opposite of user-friendly. It is impossible to find basic online banking services, such as transferring funds from FNBO to another bank. I can't disentangle myself from this poor excuse of bank fast enough!
