    After 44 years of never being late on a payment, FNBO changed to paperless billing or face a monthly service fee. We never received the very first paperless statement. Although FNBO insists it was sent we never received an email, call, or text that the $41.00 gas card payment was late. Our credit score was 849/850 as we've never been late on any bills. The late payment reported dropped our credit score to 738. I discovered the overdue payment while reviewing my Experian report and immediately called FNBO to make the payment in full. FNBO waived the late fee but refused to remove the negative report. I have written and called to no avail. I recently received a letter from FNBO stating they would not charge the monthly fee for paper statements that I opted back into after the mix-up; however, they refused to remove the negative report. There was a number to call ** to Michelle H. Office of the President, FNBO.

    I called and left a voice message requesting a call back. Nobody has returned my call as of this writing. FNBO states their reporting is accurate and they cannot change the reporting. Experian states it is solely up to FNBO to change the reporting. I would think a reasonable person could see from our payment history over 44 years that this missed payment was an anomaly caused by a paperless billing snafu since it was on the very first paperless bill ever issued.

    I have two credit card accounts with FNBO. I paid off one completely and the other one still had a balance. I went into a branch office by my business and was told I had to call customer service. That's when the fun began. I don't care if the call goes to a call center but whomever I'm speaking with I expect them to speak clearly in English and understand. I asked if my overpayment of $285.39 just be transferred to my other card and it was easier communicating with my grandson. This is the last bank I would ever consider. How can you just let a customer just walk out of your bank upset. If I was thinking about opening a payroll account that thought is gone. Not one person got up from a desk and there wasn't a person in the bank other than an employee. Great way to do business.

    The worst customer care and fraud department I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing. They literally cancelled my entire account without ANY CONTACT. NOTHING. I am in disbelief. Apparently someone called my card in lost/stolen-- it wasn't. Months pass without ANY LETTER OR CALL OR TEXT OR EMAIL OR ANYTHING. NOTHING to indicate ANYTHING was wrong. Then, they close me account! And not only that, they are REFUSING to dispute or reopen it. Disgusting lack of care or customer support. THEY made the mistake here. I have been a loyal customer and used my card frequently. They had NO basis to close the account except for it "being a zero balance and expiring". It literally expired THAT MONTH. But they never SENT ME A NEW ONE. How am I to use a new card when they NEVER SEND or COMMUNICATE it?! Wow. I'm honestly in shock. AVOID THIS AWFUL COMPANY.

    Due to our out of county travels we needed an additional credit card due to Discover Not being accepted in many countries. We selected the FNBO Visa card. Had it for many months and paid our bill in full when due if not before. In December of 2024 we did not receive a bill so I contacted Customer Service. Although they did not speak nor understand English much at all, they did say my bill had been returned, not at fault, and stating it had been delivered to the WRONG address. They also stated all late fees would be waived if I paid my balance in full. They would resend my bill for this payment. Once I received it I did pay in full.

    Nonetheless, FNBO customer service did not keep their promise and drop the late payment claim. As a result of this single “missed payment” in 40 years my credit rating dropped from the 800s to below 700. FNBO is all about the “Almighty Dollar” and the heck with correcting their mistakes. FNBO could care less about seniors, veterans and just plain old law abiding citizens. We will not use this FNBO Visa again. NEVER!!!!

    NOTE: We did apply for and received a Master Card but with only $1,200 in credit as a Result of this low credit score FNBO blessed us with. In contrast our line of credit with Discover Is $22,000. (One just doesn’t get this type of credit with a credit score of under 700). No way would I ever suggest or recommend FNBO for anything. Poorest example of a reputable financial institution anywhere. Jim **. Mineola, Texas. **

    I was scammed by an account holder named Melanie ** from FNBO bank for a $7900. The scammer phished my email and provided FNBO bank details from a similar email domain and I went ahead to transfer funds to this scammer instead of the original beneficiary. Their support team did not bother listening to me or even tracing scammer's account. Their vetting is poor for account opening and accounts with this bank are mostly misused and compromised used for fraudulent activities and scams. And if told about such activities, they never bother tracing down the transactions or even the account which is openly carrying out such activities. Such a shame! Never open an account with them or even don't consider a transaction with anyone having an account with them. You never know if someone's scamming you.

    I got an offer from them to apply for this card. With the Perks for a Bonus 10k MGM Rewards Points if I spend $1.5k in 90 days. So I applied in hopes of racking up my MGM Rewards Points. The 1st Month I got like 1,600 points. I paid off my balance before the due date. I called Customer Service to inquire about my Bonus Points, since I pretty much hit the goal in the first month 12-13-24. She told me that she can see that I'm scheduled to receive them in the next billing cycle. So up until Friday Morning 1-10-25, everything was good.

    So Friday morning I made a $1,650 payment of my $1,788 balance at around 4 am. I wake up to a missed call from FNBO. I called back and it's the fraud department. I immediately checked my previous transactions to look for any unidentified charges. I saw none! So I asked them what was up because those were all my charges. He said I need to send in a Notarized copy of my Driver's License, Social Security Card and 3 recent paycheck Stubs. I really didn't understand how they have me under fraud/ identity after I've already been approved and used this card for over a month. They said they couldn't explain but a letter was being sent out.

    So I reluctantly did exactly what they wanted which cost me $38.00 for Notarized documents. Then I called today 1-11-25 and I asked them did they activate my card yet? The lady (Jasmine) hung up on me and no callback. I called again and asked for a Supervisor because that was ride off her to hang up and then she didn't call back knowing my phone number is in the profile. He told me that high-risk management closed my account. I said what? Why??? He said he didn't know and that they will be sending me a letter. I know the reason. They needed a reason to avoid me getting my bonus 10k points this week. That's the only thing that made sense after reading all the bad reviews saying they frauded them out of their Bonus Points too.

    Worst card ever. The offer for this card was that you would get 20,000 Amtrak points if you spend 1000 dollars in 90 days. I never received my points because they don't count the 99 dollar fee they charge you to have the account. No one tells you that. A week before the end of the 90 days I called to see if I spent the 1000 dollars and the agent also counted the 99 dollars and told me yes. I never received the points and basically was told I only spent 941 dollars because they don't count the 99 they charged me. On top of all this the offer was if you were approved for the card you would get 100 dollars back on first purchase but I also never got that either. I was told by a supervisor she would Look into it and was rude. I've never had this happen at any other company. I have a stellar FICO score and I honestly would never recommend this card.

    I logged into my account today and saw a $13,000 balance on my spend summary, which was alarming. After reviewing my transactions, I found nothing to support this charge. I contacted customer support, and after wasting 30 minutes and speaking with three representatives, none of them could see what I was seeing. Their online messaging system isn’t working, and they have no way for me to share my screen or send a screenshot for clarification. This is unacceptable, especially for a credit card company that charges annual fees but can’t get account balances right. In short, I’m done with this company and strongly recommend others avoid using their services.

    I have had their card for many years, and still carry a balance that I am paying down slowly. In the past when I had a question, I would call and speak with someone from the U.S. It was comforting and made me feel connected. Now the call center is in another country. FNBO will still receive my payments, but when it comes to using a card, I will stick to Discover, where I can still talk to an American. Also, I remember phone calls I'd receive about possible fraud and whether a particular purchase was made by me. Those calls haven't happened in a while; my guess is that they aren't doing that anymore. I liked the feel from a long time ago. It's a shame they had to change.

    I originally got this card because after a certain reward point balance you were supposed to get money back from RAM on a new truck. No dealer had ever heard of it when it came time to use. FNBO said I needed some certificate to present to the dealer and then made up some new rules about how old the account has to be or some other rigmarole. I finally jumped through those hoops and then they said it would take months to get the certificate. Well, I waited for that too. And it never came. Then they told me they would have to issue a new one and it also never came. I own a business with a few trucks so I had spare time to wait … however I never, ever got a certificate from them. The “rewards” were utterly useless and nonexistent.

    I’ve now had the card for over four years and have never had a late payment. I needed to pay taxes online so I made a big payment to the card and then waited a few days to pay the taxes online at which point I received an email from FNBO saying they lowered my credit limit to the point I only had like $200 to spend. Then two days later they sent me a new payment due… The reviews are real. This card is terrible. Do better.

The guy who answered in the customer service department was a rude jerk who would not help me and when I asked who else I could talk to about this issue, he told me no one and hung up on me.

    I do not like writing negative reviews, however it is important for anyone thinking to apply for this FNBO card to know how you will be treated. I originally applied for the card in 2021 as a promotion through Station Casinos in Las Vegas and received a $1700.00 credit limit. (You get player points with each purchase) After standard card use, and flawless payment history, my credit limit was raised to $3500.00. Every month I pay triple or more on my payment. I have never been late, never gone over my credit limit, and have never had any suspicious activity. Suddenly, without cause my credit limit was lowered to $1600.00. (at the time my balance was right at $1590, which made it look to the credit bureaus as though I had maxed out my card)

    I called to ask why and they could not give me an explanation other than "I'm sorry, there is nothing we can do about it". I have multiple cards with much higher limits, but I really liked the bonus points at the local venues. Anyhow, I was not happy, so I wrote a negative review. Well, about 2 months later, as soon as my balance dropped below $1300.00, they again dropped my limit to $1300.00. Two credit limit drops in just as many months. Now, for perspective, during this time, I was receiving increases from other cards I owned. I was furious, and began paying my FNBO card's balance off. This will be the second bad review I have written, and my guess is they will drop my limit again. That is fine, but they will never again receive another dollar in interest from me as this has been the WORST credit card experience ever. Please, please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for better cards. This bank is horrific.

    This bank is one of the worst banks for customer service and truthfulness!! In fact, they have a penchant for lying. I have made payments religiously year upon year on my Lincoln Access Rewards Visa, was sideline by cancer and was somewhat behind on my very timely OVERPAYMENTS to keep my card current and active.

    Since having a payment returned due to auto-pay when I was disabled, they have now retreated to accepting my payments and holding them without giving my the credit that is on my contract for as much as 20 days...especially when the main department says and confirms credit available. Had several embarrassing events, and their excuse after advising me of the availability, was to transfer me to a uncaring and meaningless department which just says "the computer will not unlock". I hope the banking regulators get a hold of this message and gives this uncaring and lying banker the well deserved reward of a fine for their miserable untruths.

    My recent experience is with an FNBO Mastercard through Amtrak. Several weeks ago two businesses in Knoxville, TN charged a total of nearly $5,500 to my credit card. My low rating has to do with the fact that it wasn't until I checked my statement, over one week later, that I discovered the two fraudulent charges. At no time did these transactions raise a red flag and result in my being notified of potential fraud from FNBO. The charges were totally out of character from my normal spending habits, not to mention that it was in a state 800 miles away.

    In the past I've been notified by the fraud department of other banks for much less, FNBO doesn't seem to employ the same standards. The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of one is because the customer service reps were very helpful and assured me it would be taken care of. My issue is with FNBO's lack of communication, even when the investigation of the charges had finished. I had to find out for myself by going online and checking my recent transactions.

They advised me that I could opt out of renewing the membership the following year.

    Today, I noticed that the annual membership fee was posted on my phone app once again, with a due date of April 4th. Upon contacting the company, I initially spoke with Ashley, who explained that while she could cancel the card for me, she could not waive the membership fee, even if I chose not to renew it. Requesting to speak with a supervisor, I was transferred to Jessy, who stated that she was the highest authority I could ever reach. Despite my explanation of the previous year's conversation, she reiterated the company's policy and declined to waive the fee, citing banking regulations. This appears to be a recurring issue where customers have limited options to halt the renewal process and are consequently charged the membership fee. Try to avoid bank like this!

    My realtor suggested I open my mortgage with FNBO; I subsequently also opened a large savings account, checking and a home equity. My credit was great, and they were happy to take my money; I soon learned that unless you have a savings or checking with them, you cannot pay online from another bank (I opened billing accounts with ENT credit union to take advantage of great interest rates and customer service). So I would either mail a payment, not trusting FNBO to show the actual date of receipt, or walk the payment in the door. If I want to pay more monthly to reduce the principal, it takes forever for the teller to process the payment. Half the time a teller does it one way, and half the time the teller has another method. They study the computer screen as if you might be a criminal trying to pay someone else's mortgage (oh yes, we all do that...What??). If you try to pay without their coupon, watch out. You are in for a ten minute wait.

    FNBO is just a terrible bank. Bad customer service except for just a very few people in a couple branches. One benefit, to their credit, is the ability to, once every five years, recast your loan payment by paying from $1000 to however much more you want to pay. For every $5000 reduction in principal, I think the loan payment is lowered $100. Not sure about that amount, but I believe that's right. If your monthly payment is to increase because of property taxes and insurance (Escrow), they let you know but don't tell you that you CAN pay the lump sum escrow shortage by a certain date and your monthly payment will not increase. They are not good communicators, a sad state which leads to distrust on the part of account or loan holders.

    So, I saw fraudulent activity on my card one night as a pending charge. I immediately called customer service to report it and was told a new card would be in the mail and I should receive it in about 7-10 days. The card shows up and not only does the paper have my FULL credit card number typed out on it but there are no labels on the card indicating they need to be activated.

    I called to confirm the cards were shipped active and that my card number being on the paperwork is standard. I am told based on the zip code I live in they believe they can send the card without it needing to be activated after being opened by me, the owner of the card. I happen to live in one of the more seedy neighborhoods in the zip code. I don’t care if I lived in the best neighborhood in the country. There is an expectation that a card coming to me in the mail should be required to be activated BY ME upon receipt of the card.

    The number being written all over the paperwork is annoying, and apparently standard according to who I spoke with, but less of a problem since that will just be going through my shredder. I am seriously considering canceling the card. I didn’t have much choice in being switched to FNBO. The rewards card company for whatever reason switched from Bank of America to FNBO. When I first got the letter I was like YAY no more B of A to deal with. If this fraudulent activity had happened while B of A still held the contract, I would have had to prove I received the card through the activation process.

    If someone had stolen the card from my mailbox I bet that FNBO would hold me liable for EVERY charge on it then. Before writing this review I read others' reviews.

    I have had a BP Visa account for a long time. FNBO bought the account some time ago. Their technology is clunky and they are a pain to work with. More recently, they lowered my credit line which I have had for many years, causing me issues with a planned purchase. While not necessarily a fan of Synchrony Bank, I have a new appreciation after dealing with FNBO. I would not recommend them.

    If I could give them a negative star review, I would. Deceptive and damaging practices and horrible--make that NO customer service. I started with a credit limit of $3900 and a 0% introductory offer. I paid at least the minimum every month on time. Within 3 months, they lowered my credit limit to $2950! No explanation. Obviously my credit score took a ding as I went from using about 60% of my credit on this card to almost 90% due to the lower limit. The rest of my credit was good, so it was a relatively minor ding, but still annoying. When they dropped my credit limit again within a year (to $2250) I messaged customer service to complain and ask why, and got a response that they had mailed me a letter with the reason for the change. (Why have online messaging if you're not going to give any useful information online?)

    The "reason" was my credit score, which they had just caused to go down again with their own actions! I don't know why this behavior isn't illegal. (I look forward to a class action lawsuit.) Again, I was NEVER late with a payment the entire time I had this card. Oh, and when I messaged them about this, that it was unacceptable and that I was closing my account, I got a dismissive cookie-cutter message that said "We're sorry our service did not meet your needs." Unbelievable. AVOID them at all costs!

I opened business account at Community bank and I took convenient offer to get credit card. Surprise 1 it's through FNBO. Then "surprises" started; on the web you can make One Time Payments, for automated payment have to call in. If you think that Reacquiring Payments is for setting up payments, you will be surprised. Reacquiring Payments, in their understanding, means It pays off entire balance of your credit card. It takes 10 business days to reverse payments, meanwhile I have to pay $36 overdraft fees every day. I had this card for 6 month, 3 months I used it. If you want to contact FNBO go to Treasury Support tab that their name for "Contact Us" tab. I am cancelling it now. Switching to another bank before it's too late.

    Unfortunately this really happened to me. I've had this card for 16 years and have made very sure not to be late on it, even when times were extremely tough - like after my house flooded in the "Great Flood of 2016" and I had to max out all my credit cards to start work on my house since I couldn't get money from my insurance company as quickly as they promised. I had a relatively small limit, about $3500, but the minute I sold my house I made a $1500 payment on this card to get the balance down. My reward? They DROPPED my limit to $1750.

    Of course I complained and was contacted by a rude CSR who said something about how terrible my credit was, and that they had just reviewed it. (Coincidence that it was right after I made that huge payment? I think not.) She said nothing about the fact that literally YEARS have passed w/o a late payment, and didn't seem to care when I mentioned it.

    I even tried to explain that my real estate agent told me credit would drop after I sold my house, it wasn't that I deserved the drop, as she could see from my payment history. Not one care given. So just keep this in mind if you want one of these cards. It is now my "emergency only" card, and I am really sad about that. I used to love this company.

Always paid on time. Then when I called the bank they tell me that this was done because of a significant change in my credit report. Which was a lie. Nothing has changed significantly from the time I applied for their credit card until the time they decided to basically take the entire limit.

FNBO refused to reveal the real reasons for their action.

    The credit department said they relied on information from Experion but would not reveal that information. They insisted they could not reveal the information and that I would have to obtain the information from Experion. They mentioned two different scores but would not reveal what they were or where they came from. Experion advised that I had excellent credit and that the referenced scores did not exist with Experion. It appears the reasons given by FNBO for the denial were admittedly untrue, that they tried to shift blame for their actions to an innocent third party, and that there were no legitimate reasons for their arbitrary action.

    I requested to our mortgage lender (FNBO) to remove PMI, based on the value of the home. I ordered an appraisal on 2/8/22. Between the date of ordering and 3/15/22, I followed up 6 times. Both by phone and email. The person in charge of this process at the bank, First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO), is named Miranda Nightengale. She responded each time that she only orders the appraisal, and has no control. After trying to get a resolution for 5 weeks, she told me “it’s not really a problem because if it’s approved, we’ll retro this to when you asked, and credit the PMI back.”

    I told her this is an unacceptable answer, and it’s taken far too long. She agreed it had taken too long, but said she had no way to “escalate this,” or follow up. Come to find out a few days later on 3/18/22, the appraisal was never “accepted” by anyone to do it. Even though someone came out to take pictures and measure the exterior of the house “for the appraiser.” This is ludicrous. She then suggested instead we do a BPO, as it will be done by a local real estate agent.

    On 3/18/22, she told me that when she ordered the BPO, it cancelled “our place in line” for the appraisal, but she thought the BPO would come back quickly. Nearly another month has passed, as it is now 4/10/22… and we are no closer to reaching a resolution than when I started this months ago. There must be some path of recourse. This seems outrageous that a lender can simply say they have no way to check on this, no clue on when it the process will be completed if ever, and continue charging me every month for PMI premiums that are unjustified.

    Was approved for business credit card for 15k. I have very good personal credit and business credit. My account was always paid on time. Next thing I know my credit limit was decreased to 3k. I called and spoke to a very rude woman who told me they did not like the way a company Fund & Grow did business so, they reduced my credit line. She didn't make any sense. I paid off any outstanding balance while on the phone with her and closed the account. As a business owner if my employee had spoke to a customer like she spoke to me they would be TERMINATED!!!!

    It is certainly a Trap and a well made Trap. FNBO gave me an over $10K Credit line. Used only about 30% of it over 5+ months and then out of the blue they cut my Credit by 70% to just within a hair of the balance pending. They blamed FICO for the credit line change when in fact nothing has changed on my credit score or usage. This is more than likely a bait and switch trick to get people signed up then hurt their Credit Scores to prevent them from leaving. I will certainly pay it off and never use it again. Even the so called Ford Perks of $200+ was wiped out. Very Highly Dishonest.

    I was pre-screened for their MasterCard, but when I applied with a 'very good' rating, which became just 'good' after the application, I was declined. First of all, unlike other banks, they pull a hard inquiry to see whether you're pre-approved, which hurts your credit score. Secondly, they do not give you a response immediately. Thirdly, when they eventually send you an email, instead of giving you the decision, it redirects you to their website which can't find your application (nor can their automated phone assistant do the trick), so you have to call their customer service to find out the response. The worst experience ever! So, if you receive a letter from FNBO, think twice before applying. Don't hurt your score for nothing!

I have had excellent credit and have not been asked for this in forty years. I own my own home and have paid for my new Ford Truck, and I am debt free. I called them and told them to withdraw this application because I am not about to send all of this. Frankly I think this is somewhat extreme.

    I have had my card approximately 6 months. I was given a $15,000 limit and initially only used it at a single location. Always made large payments and kept it paid off. About 2 months ago I used it on several transactions and nearly used the limit. However, I have never once missed a payment and always pay far more than the minimum. Today I received a letter saying that because the account is new and I have a high utilization ratio, they reduced it by a few thousand.

    I have several other cards and only one is almost at max, the others are very low or have nothing on them. My income is very good, credit score is well over 700, and have zero missed payments. None of the other credit cards have decreased my limit or made any complaints. Only FNBO. I am not having any financial problems at all. Very unhappy FNBO did this. Absolutely ridiculous. The card will be paid off within 6 months, after that, I have ZERO plans to ever use it again, and I absolutely will never recommend FNBO to anybody.

Mind you I pay more than minimum due and most times paying twice a month. I called and asked to excuse my overlook and bring my credit limit back up, they refused. But they did eliminate the late charge. I rather pay the late charge and have my credit limit back. I'm canceling this account as soon as it's paid off.

    For some reason this credit card has been hacked numerous times, without me losing my card. FNBO has replaced the card 3 times in the past year! I check my account daily for fraudulent transactions now - most recently I couldn't reconcile the online record with my accounting software. I'd reported a small fraudulent transaction and found that their "resolution" was to enter an extra charge for the dollar amount - they forgot to put a (-) in front of the amount, so now I was charged twice. When I reported this error to them, their "correction" was to duplicate the error, so now I was charged THREE times for the fraud. They'd also marked a correct transaction as fraudulent and "corrected it the same way, both times.

    I think I finally got someone who saw the errors, and when I asked when my credits would be posted for the the fraudulent transaction and their errors, I was told the fraud dept had held the credits until after my statement date. For those people who simply pay their balance due every month, this amount to FNBO collecting money from their customers that the customers don't owe! The person I was speaking to said he'd "refer that information upline" - to me it's just dishonest since most people don't review their accounts as I do. If a credit is due back to me, particularly for their errors, I feel it should be refunded right away!

    I have been with FNBO for 4.5 years. My home loan, equity loan, 2 savings and a checking account. I had recently changed my pension and social security to direct deposit at FNBO. No credit card with them. I have never been late on a home loan or equity loan payment; 11 of 12 months I pay extra on both loans, considerably more on the equity loan. Because of an unforeseen emergency I recently had to file bankruptcy. I chose Chapter 13 so my home could not be sold, understanding, though, that if I had too much equity in the home I would have to follow the formula for paying back creditors. I chose 13 knowing I would still have to pay my creditors. After all, unforeseen cannot mean unprepared as far as finances go.

    I thought everything with FNBO would be good because I had no unsecured indebtedness with them, but was I wrong. They were the first ones to close my 30-year equity loan, which I couldn't use anyway without permission from the court, but they didn't stop with that. They notified me they would close all my accounts in ten days (which I was able to stretch to 25 because of my direct deposits coming in). They also took all access to my accounts, even my home loan, off their website, so if I want to check for incoming deposits or fraud on my accounts I have to go all the way to a branch or an FNBO ATM. And it didn't stop there. I received a court form completed by their attorneys even though nothing I had with them was threatened.

    I had to spend time finding a bank that would open an account for me while in bankruptcy. Fortunately, almost every bank will with the exception of a few of the huge institutions. I had accounts at a very large bank and a major credit union, and they didn't make any problems, even though I had several credit cards with the bank and a personal loan with the credit union. I can still work with them online. So...I know the bankruptcy is my fault, but I did put thought into my financial obligations. I feel FNBO was way over-reactive in limiting my access to even SEE my account balances and transactions online. Just for the record, too, FNBO often has website problems, and going into their offices can end up in a long wait for service other than tellers.

Lately I've been using my card to buy coffee every morning and a couple weeks ago it stopped working, thought it was the coffee shop's issue, tried using the card a few days later and still didn't work. Called FNBO and was told my account had been closed. Asked why? Was told it was a matter only the "High Risk/Fraud" dept could help me with and rep transferred me over. The person I spoke with said they wouldn't tell me why the account was closed but I could write them a letter asking for details and they would reply (with what details he couldn't say). So I figured it was their loss and at least now I didn't have to pay their ridiculous $50/year fee for the privilege of using their card.

    August 31 comes around, it's time to pay my (last) bill with FNBO. I pay in full. Notice on my statement I've got 26,600 reward points. Can't find anywhere on the website to redeem them. Called FNBO again, again rep has to transfer me to high risk/fraud dept and I'm told points were no longer redeemable because account was closed. I said, "You (FNBO) closed it, not my choice, but I earned those rewards, seems pretty shady to just shaft a customer like that." Crickets. Nothing. I ask again, "Hey look, I understand it's your prerogative to close an account anytime you want to but can I please just redeem my points, it's almost $300 and that would be a big help right now." "We are not at liberty blah blah blah. Account was closed blah blah blah." Good looking out FNBO, such a great way to treat a 15 year customer.

    After receiving MONTHS of these constant, insistently appearing ads telling me I was selected from a “small group” of people and very likely to be accepted, I finally called their customer services and was assured I had a VERY high chance of being approved if I had received their letter. So I applied. Got a hard pull on my credit, and WAS DENIED. I have a high credit score and freaking 6 figure income. Thought it would be nice to move some balances around. Nice going FNBO. Your company is a joke and missed out on some decent money with your fake, criminal advertising.

    I had been a customer for over 25 years, but I had to close my credit card account due to rude treatment from their customer service. Furthermore, I received different information from different people. I had a set the payments to pay it all every month; however, I had a big expense about 2 months ago and I could not pay it all, so I called customer service and I was told I could change the payment online 5 days before the due date and I did. The payment day came and I noticed my bank account was negative. I panicked and called FNBO to have the payment changed to the one I had set online. They told me there was nothing they could do about it. So I called my bank to cancel the payment then I called FNBO to let them know so I could do the correct payment. No one helped me and they were very rude. So I had a late fee applied to it. I talked to 2 other people and all of them were rude. The next month I paid my debt and closed my account.

    Today I received an email that my payment of around $10 dollars was late. I thought it had been paid automatically. I called and the customer service she said she could not waive the late fee because I had many late fees. I had been the best customer and I may have had few late fees, but some of them were unfair. I told the lady that helped me that their customer service was the worse and she hang up on me. Now I have another $29 dollar late fee because I have been badly informed.

Decided to check it out and they performed a Soft Pull on my Credit and said I was "Pre-Qualified" with a 15,000 credit limit, 12 months intro 0% APR, Etc. I don't need the credit that much as I have a number of tradelines in that range already. With that being said, At 15K, I really thought about getting the card but when I hit the "continue" button it just didn't do anything. Felt kind of strange and I decided to actually take a look at their reputation online...WOW. I am glad the button did not work! Between the lowering of credit limits without notice, the poor customer service, and the sheer number of 1 star reviews, I think I will pass on this bank forever. My scores are 780+ but I don't trust these guys as far as I can throw them. Seems like they have a bait and switch going on... Pre-qualify you at 15K... Give you a lower limit of maybe 7500 and THEN lower it to 500 after several months. No thanks!

    This Co. lowered my available balance (what never happened to me before with none of other CC!!!). Which hit my credit score unexpectedly. I wish I closed this card. They said they monitor your credit and make decision every half year and I can request a review 6 months later. For years I had the card nothing ever happened. Until one day, without significant changes to my credit report. And when I requested a review they hit my credit score one more time by hard inquiry!?!! How come you figured it to lower my credit line and hurt my credit score without hard in inquiry, and you needed hard inquiry to see if you can put credit line back to what it was to hit my credit score against. Bottomline, if you accept this CC to repair your credit - close it few years down not to hurt your credit, more than it was repaired, out of a blue.

    At first FNBO Jeep Drive Plus Mastercard seemed ok. There were a few hiccups along the way that gave me the uneasy feeling that these guys are not organized, but nothing that indicated pure concentrated evil. So, I was moving along attempting to earn points for Jeep gear and also use the 1000.00 earned incentive to purchase a new Wrangler. The incentive coupon was never received. I called FCA, I called FNBO ... and no one knew where was my incentive coupon. Then, after I purchased my new Jeep the coupon arrived.

    So, I recovered my composure and offered the cleverly worded incentive coupon to my family for their next purchase. Come to find out the clever wording really just means that there is a 1000.00 dollar incentive to buy the FCA models no one else wants ... and not good for a Wrangler or Grand Cherokee. As a minimum, the creative wording borders false advertising. So, I continued spending in hopes of getting some Jeep gear. However, as it turns out ... FNBO (First BankCard Services) has hired a third party contractor for their rewards center. In order to redeem the rewards, the person claiming the valuable double points has to go to the dealer, and provide them with your tax i.d. number so that the parts staff can call and discuss your tax i.d. number with the third party contractor.

    So now ... FNBO has your tax i.d. number, and they've given it without your permission to third party contractor Kobie, and then they require you to give it to the dealer! And we wonder how identity theft happens! What makes matters worse is FNBO says on their website that all you need at the dealer to redeem the points for Jeep gear is four pieces of information; and the tax i.d./SSN is NOT one of them. So here I am after spending a lot of money with FNBO and I either perpetuate their id theft scenario by giving my tax id to their third party contractor, or I lost the points and/or don't get my well earned Jeep gear. These guys are scammers to the max!

    I have banked with FNBO for 20 years and love their bankers. Always a very kind staff however as a small business, their PPP process has been an abomination, last in line, and they leave you to figure out everything on their portal on your own. Not one person is assigned to you. Now, almost a year later, it is still the same vague unattended process. Every other person I know has had round 1 fully forgiven already with other banks, no word on mine, and most are approved for round 2 from other banks, still waiting here as well. They also had a dedicated human they could call that guided them to expedite the process for them. FNBO has responded to our emails with a different person each and every time. Nothing personal has been indicated through this and we've been last in line every step of the way. It's already stressful for small businesses, this bank has made it more complicated and more stressful.

    I opted to pursue my PPP with FNBO over Chase and Square due to my history with banking here and aiming to support a small bank, but they are making me regret it. The 1st round in the spring I gave them the benefit of the doubt since it was chaos, but it's the same tune behind the times of every other bank still almost a year later. My next pandemic/emergency will see my small business working with another bank. Once this blows over, I am relocating all of my personal and business accounts. It's unfortunate, I liked them up until but this is about business and money in the end.

    I normally decline any credit card offers when checking out at a retail store. Scheels and First Bankcard reminded me why I don't apply. My wife and I were checking out and they offered $50 off so I applied for a Scheels card. Short app but then it's unable to be processed. They further explain it does not mean you're denied just "they want to look into it a little further". No phone calls and a few weeks later I get a letter in the mail saying they are unable to process due to "Identify info does not verify".

    So I then called the clowns at First Bankcard (First National Bank of Omaha) and talked to a real pleasant CSR (sarcasm). She explained the credit bureau reported an address out of state in Missouri. I said yes, that is one of our condos. I said this process is laughable as my credit score is near the top of the chart. I asked if they were going to issue the card or not. Her response was the request was denied. Very well.

    I have been a Sun Country Airlines credit card (serviced by First Bankcard, a division of First National Bank of Omaha) holder for six years. The card has a $69 annual fee, and provides limited discount benefits with the airline (they were better when I first signed up for the card), and also accumulates points (miles) based on purchases.

    When I signed up for the card, one benefit was a 5,000 point anniversary bonus ($50 value) with $10,000 in annual spending. A few years ago, that benefit was increased to 10,000 points ($100 value), but only for card holders who signed up after the date of the change. Long-time customers got the short-end of the change, as they flat-out refused to change my account over to the new account terms. I was told that the only way to get the 10,000 point anniversary bonus was to close my account, then re-apply (damaging my credit score in the process). Fine, their card, their rules, but not customer-friendly at all. Real big-boy banks can do product changes without a problem, FNBO does their best to not help their customers. Strike one.

    I tried to get the annual fee reduced, eliminated, or offset with a point bonus to try and offset the inequality between my benefits as a long-time customer and the benefits offered to more recent customers. No way, no how, not possible, said FNBO. Strike two. I do paperless billing, so I was not aware of my annual fee posting until after it did. I paid off my card except for the $69 annual fee, and called within 20 days of the annual fee being posted. I politely requested to have the annual fee removed and to close my card. I was informed that since a transaction had posted after my annual fee posted (even though I had since paid that off), that they could close my account, but there would be no refund of the annual fee. In other words, I'd be stuck paying the fee for a year for 20 days worth of use.

    Literally EVERY other credit card company will refund the annual fee when closing an account within 30 days of the annual fee posting. First Bankcard will not, since they're out to do everything they can to give their customers the short end of the stick. I spoke to a supervisor who agreed that there was no way to get the annual fee refunded. Strike three.

    This is a third-rate bank with the most customer-UNfriendly policies in the business. Avoid them at all costs. Also pay no attention to their canned reply "apologizing for the inconvenience" -- they don't care at all, they just want your money. The fact that every review here is one-star should be a pretty good indication of their level of service.

    First National Bank of Omaha just ruined me after many, many years of always paying on time. Because of Covid 19, I had requested a skip payment. They granted 1, but continued to add interest. Since my restaurant was closed down for almost 2 months, I called before the next payment and explained my situation. I asked them to grant me 1 more skip payment, which they denied. They said that they only grant 1 per year. I pointed out my excellent history with them, and explained that with the Pandemic, that I was still in a financial crunch, I really needed 1 more month. Again they denied.

    When it was time for my payment, I made a partial payment. They followed up with a collection call, and I explained my situation again. Telling them since I am in Florida, the worst state now for Covid 19, that my finances were still in poor shape. I also mentioned that my State Farm Bank and Wells Fargo were much more understanding by, not only allowing 4 months of no min payments, but also no interest. The lady told me that they were going to have a new Covid 19 plan in place by the next day and she would call me. This was last Friday. I received 3 calls from them, but each time I answered, it would disconnect me. On Sunday, they reported me to the credit bureau as late. On Monday, I finally got a call from another rep. I explained that the previous rep had promised to call me on Friday and never did. She was supposed to have a plan to help me. The new rep checked my history and confirmed my story. She said that she would get back to me.

    Next thing I get is a report from Equifax saying that they place my entire account as past due. This caused my credit to drop 72 points! One of my credit cards, with no balance, and also paid in full each time canceled my account. This was my emergency card for health care. This bank has shown no special care during these troubled times, and I want everyone to know how poorly they treat their customers during a global pandemic. Every other bank has shown a heart, but not First National Bank of Omaha. My final words to First National Bank of Omaha, understand that people all over this world are having serious financial and health burdens thrust on them. Make a plan to help them, as banks were assisted years ago when they were in trouble....remember the bail out??? Your lack of good customer service is regrettable, as another month would have been a lifesaver.

    Updated on 12/21/2020: One star is one too many. Once again a decision this HORRIBLE company made is negatively impacting my credit score. They once again reduced my credit limit without warning and for no good reason. I continue to make on time payments, paying more than the minimum, and I have made zero purchases on this card since the initial balance transfers (which at that time utilized less than 50% of the original total credit line).

    For the record I have reviewed this company before and they clearly do not care. File a complaint and you will get a form letter and a copy of how they can legally get away with this. File another complaint and you will get a form letter saying "We show your concern was previous addressed", which of course, the actual issue was not addressed. So now my credit limit went from $4750 to $2150 now to $1450. And again NOTHING has changed on my end, same job, same pay, same bills. I am sure as a response to this they will post how "they take customer service very seriously". Well it's hard to take customer service seriously if you don't have any customers left. Soon as this card is paid off I am closing it. Lesson learned.

    Original review: Against my better judgement I opened this account with a company I had never heard of before as I wanted to leverage the 0% interest purchase/balance transfer offer. Initial credit line was $4750. Used $2k of that for balance transfers. Paid more than minimum & on time every month. Out of nowhere credit limit was reduced to $2200 which means my overall utilization will be around 90% instead of 40% which will negatively impact my credit score. None of my other credit card companies have taken this step which tells me this was a decision First Bank made on their own (an escalations rep admitted as much when he called me back). This is wrong on so many levels. I will be paying this account off asap and they will not get a dime of money from me after that. If I would've known my limit was going to be reduced to $2200 I would've capped my balance transfers to $800-1000 tops. Avoid this company at all costs.

Got a Dodge Rewards Card with them back in 2019 when I bought a new truck to put the downpayment on it and get the reward points. Wasn't a huge limit, 10k. Paid most of it off, during the next year I changed banks and was getting ready to buy a house, I missed a payment by 3 days because I forgot to change my bank info. They gave me a late fee, dropped my limit to 3000, and I had to pay 1800 to get under the limit or face more fines.. Mind you I went 18 months without missing a payment and they wouldn't give me the benefit of the doubt. I didn't cancel because I was told by loan office not to but it almost cost me my house.

    Fast forward till today, just kept the card and used it very rarely, mostly for parts for son's car to get points, pay it off every month.,. Got a letter today saying they are cancelling my card because of inactivity..LMAO, it was a 7500 limit so not a huge deal as I have cards with 30k+ limits, but the fact that they want you to go into debt and keep a balance tells you all you need to know about these scum. By the looks of the other reviews, I'm not alone.

    Original review: Got card 2 years ago at dealership for 7000 limit. Few months later raised to 7700. Balance always 500 on either side of 2000. In was five days late on payment as a complete list in the madness moment and immediately paid. First time ever loathe and they reduce my limit to 2700. Utilization went from 30 to 90 in middle of buying a house. They wouldn’t work at all. Do yourself a favor. Don’t get any product from these ** scam artists and cancel like I did.

    I and sent a payment of $29,000.00 on April 8 and the check was cashed in April 16th. I put my statement in the envelope and the person that received my payment didn't apply it to my account. I have called every day to find out when it's going to be applied to my account. They told me today they emailed the accounting department but their requests are only done "in the order they've been received". Rory is very rude. Not a human. What happened to picking up the phone and finding out where my money is? You have had $29,000.00 of my money and I can't even get it applied to my account. You cashed it 11 days ago. Stealing?

    Received a prequalified offer for a M Life MasterCard issued thru this bank. Started application process online and decided maybe to check out the card issuer as I was unfamiliar with this institution. Reading the reviews seems a common theme runs through them - their habit of reducing CC limits without good reason and regard for how it might adversely affect the customers credit rating. No thanks! Not worth the risk to my credit score. Their standard corporate response to all these customers who have written these negative reviews is laughable. I'd advise anyone looking to expand their credit and improve their score to stay away from this card issuer.

    In 2015 I had very little credit. This I found out can be worse than bad credit. So I decided to stop using the Debit cards and get 1 or 2 credit cards. This would start building my credit score above the 615 I had at the time. Around the same time I made this decision, Wells Fargo Bank & First National Bank of Omaha sent me pre-approved credit card offers. Problem solved, 2 card is all I would need, so I applied. Wells Fargo gave me a $2500 credit line while First National Bank of Omaha gave me $2400. A bit low but it would still work.

    Fast forward several years, with no late payments in my history, Wells Fargo, without prompting, increases my credit line to $5000. At the same time, I paid down my First National Bank of Omaha card to around $1900. The following month my credit limit was reduced to $2000. No kidding, they lowered it, which meant my % of credit used went up and dropped my credit score down a few points. Bummer right? Well 2 months ago, I decided to pay down both cards. Wells Fargo I made an extra $1000 payment and First National Bank of Omaha I paid an extra $700. Guess what? That's right, First National Bank of Omaha lowered my credit line to $1300. I'm kind of curious about how long before Wells Fargo raises my credit line.

    So I have just received my Capital One Platinum card with a $4000 line of credit. Time to pay off the losers at First National Bank of Omaha. But since it is important to anyone trying to raise the credit to avoid horrible company like them, I will make sure I let everyone know how bad they are. Google, Yelp, Consumer Reports and anywhere else, it is my mission to tell everyone how bad this company is. Of course, without their help a credit score of 700+ was not nearly as difficult as I thought. I still like buying with cash but maintaining a good credit score may come in handy one day. JUST STAY AWAY FROM FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA. Tell your friends.

    I’ve had their Amex card for several years. Never missed a payment or had a late payment. Did a balance transfer a year ago to take advantage of the low rate. A year into it, accidentally was late 1 day on a payment. It slipped my mind amidst this corona virus pandemic and lockdown. I promptly paid it. They immediately charged me a $28 late fee and cancelled the interest rate that I had on the balance a year into paying it. Who does that? How is that even legal?

    Horrible bank policies. I worked on building my credit for 6 years. I improved from high 400's to 750+. I had 2 cards with FNBO and carried over a balance of about 30% on each card. One had a CL of $11K and the other had a CL of $13K. I did this on a few cards to build my score and finally was able to buy my first home in November of 2019. In Feb 2020, FNBO lowered both of the CL's without any notice or explanation.The CL on both accounts dropped to just a hundred or so dollars of my balance. My utilization went from 30% to 90% on one card and from 33% to 98% on the other.

    Their only explanation after many attempts to contact them was that they review accounts periodically and adjust CL's based on those reviews. They said don't worry about it because they will continue to review my credit and may increase the CL in the future. That's great except that now, because of my high utilization, my credit score dropped from 750+ to 567. It is KILLING my credit score even though I never missed a payment in almost 6 years and no other bank lowered my CL. Stay away from this bank if you value your credit score.

    Following instructions of merchant provider and clearing it with the bank in advance, upon charge the bank closed CC and refused to investigate. I operate a small business, and use the First Bank Credit Card ran by the First National Bank of Omaha. This bank is listed under several different names in order to make customer complaints harder and virtually irrelevant. This business looks only at numbers. I spoke with a service agent, looking for a reasonable solution to a simple problem.

    I had to provide a customer refund due to the Covid-19 Crisis we all face. On March 12th/13th I spoke with the booking software aka merchant provider and they recommended to use my Company card (this one) to charge into their point of sale. I have attached screen shots of the emails and collateral that specifically recommends we do this. Just to be safe, I called the Credit Card Company, in advance to make sure that this wasn't going to be a problem. The agent I spoke with said no problem, as long as it isn't a large number, over like $1500. I thanked the agent and said I wanted to make sure it wasn't a problem and would run the charge. The Company proceeded to disconnect my card without any conversation, notice or outreach on March 17 via snail mail. I even spoke with a representative who earlier last week and they mentioned nothing about the card being shut off.

    I called customer service and tried to explain the situation, expecting a quick solution to a simple problem. I was met with zero interest into what happened or why, essentially accused of committing financial fraud by two representatives and a manager. When asking for the last name of an agent, whose name was Andrew he said, "it's actually a number **." This accurately reflects how this bank views both employees and customers. The manager I eventually spoke with, who I found out was the manager that each agent would speak with when they put me on hold is Casey **. After speaking with her I immediately knew why the customer service I received from her agents was so poor.

    Throughout the whole experience I was repeatedly lied to about what policy it is and whose procedure they were following. They even tried to say it was against the merchant provider agreement, which is exactly who instructed me to do this, my merchant provider. I have attached here and offered her evidence showing this is the case as well as call the call date that I was cleared, by the credit card Company. She repeatedly said they would do an investigation, AFTER I paid my entire balance off, not just the amount of the charge in questions but the entire balance, then they might do an investigation and possibly turn my card on. So after essentially accusing me of financial fraud Ms. ** and the rest of her agents tried to extort me for $3000 without ever providing any place to submit evidence proving what I told them and not caring at all. Every agent I spoke with just spouted off boiler plate corporate responses.

    Nowhere in their terms and conditions is this mentioned not to do this, I got clearance from their credit card company prior to making the charge that my merchant provider suggested that I make. What I want is for Companies like this who treat people like numbers and only care about their profits to go out of business. Unfortunately First National is a perfect example of this.

    What I will settle for is a fair and actual investigation to be conducted, if it shows (which it will), I was simply following instructions and acting in the best interest of my customers, they turn my card back on and I refund the transaction in question. I have a perfect payment rate and take paying my bills very seriously, which is reflected in my credit history. I may not have been the most pleasant to to talk with but in the circumstances, have been very mild mannered. Otherwise, I want the world to know that when crisis struck and people had the opportunity to do right or to take advantage of it, First National Bank of Omaha and their customer service staff proves that they do not care about anything but money.

    Perform an ACTUAL investigation, viewing the evidence and inform me whether or not the card will be turned on. At that point I will refund the transaction and consider whether or not I will continue to use their card. I am in the process of applying for loans and so the actual money on the card isn't an issue, it's about the reflection on my credit score mostly. Obviously in these current economic times having a card as a cushion (which ALWAYS has a low balance) is crucial.

    Seriously, you all should be ashamed of yourselves for the way you treat customers and the fact that this has elevated to this point is ridiculous. This should have been and continues to be a simple solution, if you have any morals at all. Please follow up with Brittney ** who is Casey **'s supervisor, which no contact information was provided for or Michael S Foutch the VP of Customer and Employee Experience.

    I was mailed an invitation for a pre-approved credit card with a $1,400.00 credit limit. I took the offer, have NEVER had a late payment with this or any other cards or loan accounts. My "On time payment history" is 100%. My account due balance is $0,00 with this account, my score went up 107 points one week and the very next they decreased my credit limit. I called twice to ask why and no one could give me a good answer.

    Now, not that I need or have to use the credit limit offered, by the "unexpected and unexplained" credit limit decrease, it affected my credit score changing my credit usage. I feel like I'm being punished for being a loyal customer and paying my bills on time. I was very excited about this card at first because of the great rate they offered for balance transfer, however, decreasing my credit limit for no reason is very poor business relationship practice. I do Not recommend this company to anyone. Stay VERY clear of this company. They will treat you like a child and there a plenty great card companies out there. This isn't one of them.

    On 3/17 my credit limit on my First Bankcard Visa was decreased by half (from ~11k-5k). This was done without my knowledge and despite the fact that I have never missed a payment and haven't charged anything to the card since I opened it with a balance transfer. The decrease in credit limit led to me using 95% of the available limit and drop in my credit score of FORTY FOUR points. When I called the company to ask for my limit to be increased they said they could not do so for four billing cycles. So as a result I must continue to deal with a significant drop in my credit despite the fact that I have not missed any payments or charged any substantial amount since first opening the card. After a brief Google search it is clear that this company, a division of First National Bank of Omaha, is not a friend of its customers. HIGHLY advise going with another, more reputable, company.

    One of the consolations these days for working to pay off a credit card balance with a high interest rate is supposed to be the rewards program. If you agree, do not choose this bank. I used rewards points to buy a Christmas gift. When I received the item it was like a toy you would get in an arcade game and it was damaged to boot.

    I called in after Christmas to ask to exchange my rewards gift or get a return of my 4026 points. To my surprise I was told there were "no exchanges on rewards items according to the terms and conditions you agreed to, but since it was damaged we will send you another scope." Great, another piece of junk! They actually asked me if I still had the packing materials and box. The item wasn't even worth paying to ship the first time. No company anywhere any place does that anymore, period.

    I called back to ask to speak to a supervisor. Same lame response. Ridiculous. Another call, same response. Now I'm on a mission. 3rd, and 4th calls, I invested about 3 hours trying to get a credit for my points or an exchange, but each time they tell me about some terms I agreed to. Where I agreed to these terms I could not tell you. So, now I write the bad review on the company for all to see. Good job 1st Bankcard of National Bank of Omaha! You are a terrible company.

I was hesitating about getting an automated payment that day but she convinced me I was going to save me some money so I did. The following month I realized a $15 dollars fee for having the wrong account information and that was the agent's fault not mine. I paid off the loan this month, two weeks in advanced the due date for the month because I realized I was paying more interests than with my credit cards. I canceled automated payment on February 12th.

    Today I received a letter saying they withdrew the money and I needed to notify them 24 hours before the listed payment day if I wanted to stop that. I started to freak out because I didn't understand why they withdrew the money when I canceled that payment 6 days in advanced. When I called the agent knew nothing about it. I talked to a supervisor and she told me I needed to cancel 3 business days in advance and last Monday was President's Day.

    They never told me about that when I called to cancel their automated payment even When I told the agent that day I didn't want them to withdraw the money again and I wanted to pay it off. The supervisor told me she didn't know anything about the letter they sent saying I just needed 24 hours to cancel that payment, she said I needed to fax it to them, really? Something that comes from their own bank and they don't know anything about it?

    They caused me an overdraft and left me with no money, after I tried everything to avoid that plus they told me they were not going to reverse any fees. I told them I was very sick this month with strep and bronchitis so I didn't have enough to cover what I was not supposed to because I paid the loan off. I was trying to make the transaction rejected by insufficient funds but this bank told me if it got rejected they would reattempt even I didn't owe them any money because it was an automatic process, isn't that ridiculous, I don't owe them any money!!!

    I opened an account shortly after purchasing my Jeep in 2015 to keep in the car for emergency purposes. I was given a 5k limit which is considerably smaller than my Amex card (30k) I use regularly. I was notified recently via credit monitoring that the account had been closed so I called customer service to see what the issue was. I was told it was cancelled for inactivity. I explained the reason I opened the account and asked if it could be reopened. I was placed on hold and then told I’d receive a letter stating my account was closed for inactivity which I was already aware of given the call I was on. I asked again if the card could be reopened and was told it was a permanent close so they couldn’t open it again, but I was more than welcome to apply for another account instead.

    This whole experience was a total joke. If you want an emergency use card, you’re much better off with another provider that won’t cancel it. For me that’s Barclays and Capital One. If you’re in it for the rewards (which I lost when they abruptly cancelled my card) you’re much better off with another rewards card (I use Amex) as the points provided for daily purchases were absolute garbage. Terrible company, terrible experience. Wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy. I have numerous accounts with around 80k in credit and this is the first and only time this has happened.

I told him that’s not true because I was paying with that bank for years and it was the same checking account but they insist I give them wrong number, And now they’re saying I’m not qualified for hardship because they enter wrong numbers on the checking Account.

    Not only my payment went up but they also want me to pay some kind of a fee because they wrote it down the different account and now they’re telling me I have to go to court in order to fix it, and when I disagree that I did give him a right account number, And I would like to hear my conversation with them on recording machine they told me I have to go to court in order to hear that Recording.

    I have worked with FNB of Omaha on a couple of occasion, once as a new homeowner and once for a home equity line of credit. Both times have made me never want to work with them due to their policies and lack of tact and care. This past year I went through a very traumatic and stressful year. I started a business with my husband and lost my brother within months of each other. I had a booming business and was trying to get my feet under me, and I had a hard time keeping up with things personally...understandably.

    My credit score was in the 800+ and I hade paid off my loan steadily over 2 years and made a few large, in the thousands, payments recently at that time to get it paid down. In April I had missed a payment of less than $200, not realizing that slipped with so much going on. I didn't receive calls ( although the bank claims they had been making calls, I never received messages otherwise I would have called back then) or letters until May 29th. First just fyi when they call it is a vague message and I thought it could be a scam, since I get Wells Fargo scam calls that sounds similar. Once I looked the number on-line I realized it was FNB. I finally got a hold of the lady who left a message after May 29th but was told I couldn't make a payment without my checkbook, fair enough, she told me to call back when I was with my checkbook.

    I called to get a hold of the same lady but kept getting someone else. Needless to say, I was 30 days late on a payment and my excellent credit score dropped 100 points because no one would call back or take the time to look at my overall situation and the huge payments I made vs. that moment in time. I was told "well, we all know when our bills are due" maybe in your cookie cutter world but I live in a fast-paced, something's messy world, and understand people can sometimes have too much on their plates and are human. I made a mistake in being late, I own that. I so think my overall history should have spoken louder. Until they bring care into people they are "helping" and take a look at some practice and policies to truly help those that are working very hard to do right I would never give my hard-earned money to them again.

    I have had FNOB credit cards for years. I had a rough couple of years and have high usage on my cards. The last year or so, I have been aggressively paying down my cards to improve my score. As we know, credit scores are affected by credit usage. As I decrease my usage, my debt to credit ratio improves - NOT with FNOB. Repeatedly, they have LOWERED my credit limit, while I am lowering my balance. My other credit cards reward my on-time payments and my attempts to reduce my debt. I'll be keeping my business with those banks. Stay away, as any attempt to improve your credit score will be thwarted by FNOB. Why? So that they can charge you some of the highest interest rates in the industry. The worse your credit, the more money they make. Be wary and get out of an FNOB account the minute they try to lower your credit limit. This company hedges their bets against you. They are not your friend.

    Update: 2/4/20

    First National Bank of Omaha never responded back to my review, although reflecting how sad they wear to hear of my concerns"blah blah blah". This is what FNBO does; ignores and makes rhetorical statements to make it look like you were heard. They responded to a CFPB complaint (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) and OCC referred complaint in a rhetorical way and with no proof of what they stated. I recently retained a law firm to help me in my pursuit of justice against a financial institution that has consistently shown (four years) they will not adhere to any ethical, moral or legal professional conduct whatsoever, unless confronted by attorneys and the judicial systems. SO AGAIN I STATE TO ANYONE THINKING ABOUT GETTING INVOLVE WITH THIS COMPANY, I STRONGLY CAUTION AGAINST DOING IT, IT'S NOT WORTH IT, THESE PEOPLE HAVE ALTERED THE COURSE OF LIFE and AGAIN BTW I'M A VICTIM OF IDENTITY THEFT!

    Original Review: WARNING. STAY AWAY FROM FNBO! I AM THE VICTIM OF IDENTITY THEFT AND this company OPENED A FRAUDULENT Credit Card ACCOUNT UNDER MY NAME. FNBO was provided all legally require documents including a police report and they chose to hold me liable for a $355.00 dollar credit card debt that they knew I had legally proven I was not the applicant.

    THIS FINANCIAL INSTITUTION CONDUCTS THEMSELVES IN A ROGUE fashion, no transparency and consistently proving to be abusive to unsuspecting consumers and oblivious to following basic laws that have been afforded us all when it comes to CREDIT PROTECTION. Everything is pretty much “take their word” ignoring “The Fair Credit Act” and its fundamental guidelines/rules/laws. I repeatedly requested “the application used to set up this fraudulent account” and yet to receive it. They are PERFECT at being evasive and avoidance of being honest and truth worthy. So many with my exact situation. Jayjay **

    I would give it to zero Stars if I could. This is the worst bank I have ever banked with. Their customer service sucks. They don't allow you to remove your own name from a joint bank account if you don't want to be associated with it. They don't allow you to transfer funds to any other bank unless it's another one of their branches so if you want to transfer money you have to set it up as a bill pay and then they mail out a paper check which takes a week or more to get to where I been mailing out paper checks in the mail. Who does that anymore? That is very Stone Age. This is a terrible bank. Don't ever sign up with them because you will never be able to close your account and walk away. I have never been treated so unprofessionally by a bank before. Every time I call them with anything I am met with tired grumpy sounding voices people who are very short on the phone. They treat their customers like crap.

    Hey I just wanted people to know what First National BANK OF OMAHA/ First Bank Card did to me.. My credit score fluctuates around 690 to 740 in the past 5 yrs. With that said I also have (3) credit cards with American Express with limits roughly $25,000 carrying about $4,000 balance plus a few more cards which carry no balances at all. So Pretty much I have $35,000 in credit in all..so I applied for this card for the gas perks etc. They initially gave me $5000 limit..ok no problem. I expected that much..I was going on vacation so I decide to..just in case..I needed it for an emergency only! I asked for cash advance which I already had & didn't know..so they sent me a pin number..so I never used the cash advance.

    Anyway 2 weeks later I get a letter in the mail stating that they are decreasing my credit limit from 5,ooo all the way down to $1500. So I have to wonder what their MOTIVES are?? I do not understand this and what a ** thing to do to their customers at CHRISTMAS TIME! Boy I was really upset at the fact that they had absolutely no indication whatsoever that I am a non paying bill kind of person.. So come to find out they are only going by a SCORE model..They do not take into account of your EXCELLENT pay bill history or any other factors..So now I am stuck with this card because if I close the account I will lose more credit score points..BEWARE OF THIS BANK! Now if you are just building your credit I say go to American express and if you are about a 690 score they will give you the Blue Preferred card..That's a much better card overall..and ZERO annual FEES!!

    And do NOT ever deal with FNB of Omaha. They are unreliable source of building your credit. I say this because I lost 25 points because they decided to lower my limit which also RAISED my debt/CREDIT ratio..They really screwed me bIg time..It's going to take a few months to get this score back where it was..BEWARE!! Oh I forgot to mention that I only had this card for about 3 months when they did this to me and I only had about $900 on the balance. Which I was just logging in to pay off the $900. When I saw what they did.. Just ridiculous! So when I emailed them about this..they threw in my face that they have the right at any moment in time to just take your credit away from you..They do not have your best interest at heart and what losers these people really are..

    Now I know that credit cards have their ups and downs but I will also tell you that Capital One is also very greedy with their credit. I had a card with them for 6 years!! And they never wanted to increase my card and I never ever went over a balance $1000 with a $5,000 credit limit..I starting to see a pattern with some of these credit card companies..And believe me they do not care about the customer..I can only tell people out there I have had a lot of experience with them and I will say that American Express has been very "Loyal" and my credit union as well..If you just stick with your credit union and a couple of Amex cards and a couple of gas cards you will be fine..I wish I had read some of the reviews about this bank before I applied..That's all. Have a nice day.

I have since used the new checking account for the alleged past due payment.

I said “sure” and he said he would have a personal lender call me with details. This person called and discussed the details. I said I wasn’t really interested in refinancing but agreed to look over the outline if he ran some figures and showed me all the data. The next day I received the email with the details, I talked them over with my wife, and we decided that we weren’t interested.

    On the next day this person called back and asked what we thought. I told him we weren’t interested, and that we would just throw extra money at the principal to pay our mortgage off early, and he got rude with me. He said “These interest rates are really low," however our mortgage is at 5.25% and the rate he was offering was 4%. I’m sorry but 1-1/4% isn’t “really low!" He finished the conversation by saying it didn’t make much financial sense to not refinance, and ended the call. I am the customer so don’t call me, solicit money, then get rude because I refuse.

    A couple of years ago, I received a pre-approved Amex card form from FNBO. Since I already had everything else (Visa, MC, Discover), I figured, "Why NOT get an Amex?". Since many smaller businesses don't take Amex, I really didn't get any use out of it, but since closing an account can at least temporarily hurt your credit, I decided to keep it open, even after they refused even a modest increase of my already modest ($2,600) credit limit. On Sept. 27th, I got an email from Credit Karma in which they asked "Did you close this account?" It was the first time I'd heard of FNBO's intent to close my account for "lack of use".

    Now, this is far from my first experience with credit cards and usually, if a bank feels that an account isn't being used enough to keep it open, they usually send a letter stating as much, and they usually put something like, "Please use this card within 30/60 days" to encourage the customer to use the damned thing. Hell - I got a letter like that from Discover, in which they doubled my credit limit, but also encouraged me use the card within 60 days or face closure. THAT makes sense. After all, a closed account benefits no one and pretty much eliminates the possibility of a bank making one nickel of interest off a customer.

    However, to summarily close an account without any such conditions or proper notice is both insulting AND bad business. I spoke with a rep at FNBO who could do little but apologize and then took my number with the promise that a supervisor would call me to discuss the case. True to his word, a supervisor called me the next morning, but couldn't do anything other than repeat the earlier apologies, and agreeing that it didn't make any sense.

    Short term, this sort of thing will probably knock my FICO down a few precious points. However, I can always fill out one of those pre-approved AMEX forms I still get in the mail or get another card with another bank with a much higher limit, thereby increasing my overall score in the long run. The point is, this sort of practice is out and out b.s., bad business and serves only to all but guarantee that people like me will not only never have another card with this bank, but that we'll let everyone we know to avoid it like the plague. Oh - and last I checked, my average credit score is about 775, so it's not like I'm particularly desperate or something. FNBO - ignore this at your own peril.

    I’ve had a credit card with this bank for quite a few years now. I originally opened it for the balance transfer option, and everything went smoothly with that. Fast forward to the past couple of years they began significantly raising my credit limit, even though I wasn’t using the card. I would randomly get a letter in the mail from them telling me they raised my limit again and again. The final increase was to $30k, and at the time I didn’t even use the card, so it was irresponsible of the bank to issue such a credit limit. It seemed insane to me but I figured it didn’t hurt my credit score, so whatever.

    That passive attitude of mine changed this afternoon when I got another random letter from them in the mail. This time what I saw when I opened it was even more shocking than any of the previous ones! It seems they took it upon themselves to cut my credit limit in half down to $15k BECAUSE THEY NOTICED THAT I WAS NOT UTILIZING MUCH OF MY CREDIT LIMIT! Now they really have my attention and I’m absolutely livid, because this will hurt my credit score, and I need my credit score to be where it’s at right now! I didn’t ask for my limit to be raised, not even once. This bank took it upon itself to continually raise my limit and now realized how ridiculous they were, and took it back, with the only negative outcome to affect me in the near future. I’m completely disgusted!

    I had two American Express credit cards through First Omaha Bank with perfect payment history yet my credit limit kept getting lowered like many other on here! Never missed a payment or was late and their reasons for lowering my limits were nothing more than garbage! So today, I took their advice and lightened my load by cancelling both cards and going forward will not do business with them in anyway and will spread the word how bad the bank sucks! Funny thing is that 5-6 of my other credit cards from other banks all raised my limits and were self generated on their part, so guess they like the business and my credit! DO NOT USE THIS BANK FOR ANYTHING AND I MEAN NOTHING!!

    We have had an FNB credit card for 28 years when Experian notified us FNB had cut our credit limit nearly in half, without any justification or request negatively impacting our credit score. Not once during that 28 year period have we ever been in arrears or late. In fact, we always paid off the amount due in full before the due date. When I called to discuss the situation, I was told a letter had been sent 7/11 explaining the situation and they wouldn't discuss it with me prior to my receiving the letter. Three calls later with the final occurring 7/21, I was told they are delayed in sending out the letters but the credit department would not speak with me period.

    The individual explained the credit limit cut was due to our usage. I explained that I had received another offer from a competitor doubling my rewards. I had called FNB to see if they could not match it. I told them I would have used their card more had they offered a matching reward. The additional reward thus far this year amounts to nearly $400. The last person I spoke to said they had every right to cut the limit. I explained I had every right to cancel their card. All of the responses to issues says, "Customer service is very important to us and we appreciate you taking time to voice your concerns." Worst customer service I have ever experienced and the best case of lip service ever.

    I am a credit card customer but not for much longer. My May statement showed a 2400.00 balance which was paid prior to the due. The account was paid in full but not according to them. They assessed a finance charge of 26.00 in spite of the fact that it was paid in full. They cite some legalese that basically is a just an excuse and are indifferent to you as a customer. I have filed complaints with the BBB in Omaha and the Nebraska Attorney General's office for deceptive trade practices.

    I am 58 y/o and have had many different credit cards since I was 18 y/o, 40+ years. First National Bank of Omaha is by far the worst credit card provider I have ever experienced. Without any notice or solid reason, one day out of the blue I received a letter by US Mail notifying me they had closed long-held credit card my account. They claimed to base it on credit ratings but the strange thing is my credit rating actually improved according to all three major reporting agencies. When I contacted FNB, they revealed they actually have their own rating system. In other words they use an internal system, which no consumer has access to and FNB won’t explain, to decide whether to keep you active or shut you down.

    I had my FNB credit card for many years. I NEVER missed a payment! How they rate someone inside their own system is a mystery they keep to themselves. Don’t bother writing them for help either. I wrote letters to the CEO, the VP of Customer Service, and their credit card office in general. That was well over a month ago and as of this writing I have received only one reply. That reply was nothing but an acknowledgment of receiving my letter and a very cold canned response. They NEVER explained anything on a personal customer caring level. No one from FNB has made any attempt to answer my questions as requested or reach out to show they really care. Bottom line, FNB does NOT care about customers at all. STAY AWAY!

    I went into the site in April to pay my credit card off. On the site they list 3 amounts, one for minimum payment due. One for statement balance, and one for total balance due. Which would you like to pay, I selected total balance due. Lo and behold I have been getting collection letters stating I have a balance due. When you call them you get the same explanation repeated 5 times just with different wording about as to why there is a balance. And to top it off you're talked to like an idiot. And to further aggravate you, you get put on hold for 30 or 40 minutes at a time. Mmmm wonder why there is so many call ins!!!!

    Soooo... Apparently when you go online to get the total due, it's not the real total due. They compound interest daily BUT do not add it daily, so therefore you can never pay it off because they don't add it till statement closing. Well if it states total payment due, isn't that what it should be not some other amount calculated later. Keeping in mind I paid off other credit cards and not one of them sent me a statement stating I still owed money because of uncalculated interest, because when you check their sites, IT'S THE TOTAL PAYMENT DUE!!! They add the interest on a daily basis so you are paying the real balance.

    And then when you get someone on the phone and you can just see them reading off a pre-selected script when you ask or state further information. When you ask for a supervisor, you don't know if you got one or not. It's probably just the kid sitting next to the one you just talked to. And they're laughing as they do it. They don't have your best interests in mind, they do not take care of their good customers and they just want to take you for what they can. I'm going to have to pay the stupid amount because they'll report it as delinquent on my credit. Real nice...NOT

    I actually would like to give zero stars. I have dispute on my credit card charge, so try to contact to customer service but it is almost impossible. Called to their customer service # few times. They kept transferring me around to departments, after more than an hour wait got disconnected. Called them again, but same results. Then I sent inquiries messages several times already via online message center, of course no response from them at all. Seems like they try to steal money from their customer. My issue is still unsolved.

    Took my $300 deposit. Immediately took a $25 "Annual service charge", I paid my first payment of $50 (they only ask for $10, early by 5 days), which they claim they never received but I received a confirmation number. Then I started receiving 50 phone calls and 30 text. Now I'm being charged a 22% late fee on my own money and I'll bet they are reporting this to the credit bureaus. They are doing more harm to my credit than good. I will NEVER use their "CREDIT" card nor give them one more cent. Their customer service reps are pompous jerks.

    I had 2 cards with this bank, NRA and Orvis. I received a letter stating they were closing my Orvis account because I didn't score well enough in their review. I called to inquire why it was being closed and got the typical corporate BS answer. I was so furious I told the customer service rep to closed my NRA account as well. DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THIS BANK, now I'm going to have derogatory information about me to the credit reporting agencies that isn't true. I never missed or paid late on the accounts.

    If I could give zero stars I would. I was alerted by Credit Karma that my account with FNB Omaha was closed. Never received a call or any kind of notice. I was shocked because I have never been late on a payment. I have always paid more than the minimum. I have never maxed out my card. I was in the process of rebuilding my credit. Now my credit score has dropped drastically. I am so disappointed in FNB Omaha. This is not how you should treat a loyal customer. Absolute crap.

    My Sheetz credit card was closed by First Bankcard-First National Bank of Omaha. They said they use a scoring system and decided to close my account. I have never paid late. I always pay more than the minimum due. It is bad for a business to treat great customers this way because of a ridiculous scoring system that does not reflect me at all. This card was great until they did this to me and my credit score. I would not recommend this company if you intend to always keep the same credit card.

    I had a SCHEELS Visa since 2015. Never was late on any payments! I have fair credit. I was working on getting better and then they close my account without warning with a balance! Then proceed to send me a letter saying I’m responsible for paying balance of the card with I was already doing! And they hurt my credit even more by closing an account with a balance. So unfair!

    Had our Mlife credit card for well over a year. Never late, on time payments always. Credit score not the best. However you guys decide to make it worse by closing account our account. An account we haven't even used for over 8 months due to paying it off. Lower balances if you have to, or at least warn loyal customers before you decide on close an account and do further damage to their credit. This is a very poor practice and from the amount of negative comments I foresee a class action lawsuit in your future being very likely.
