      I reached out to this bank as I returned an item over a year ago and chose to use Slice by FNBO as payment at the time. However, because I returned the item back, the payment arrangement should have been null and void. Unfortunately, the return was a few cents off which caused a payment due a whole year after the return. I have been in touch to have the amount voided out as this is a clerical error, and after two weeks and multiple emails/phone calls, I have not received any response whatsoever.

      I had some fraudulent charges on my account that while in investigation still had to pay for them. They called it a dispute and not fraud. Don't get a credit with this company. You'll have to be on hold for a long time. It says 2 mins and end up 32 mins. Ask for a supervisor and won't let you talk to anyone.

      Applied personal loan from FNBO. They approved my loan. They said they sent out my check by USPS on 6/3/2025. I never received it. But the only I received was payment bill. I called them to cancel my loan account. Bed experience doing with this bank.

      Been on the phone for hours trying to reach the fraud department. Of course they sent the letter so it would arrive over the weekend, hold does like this your approximate wait is 15-20 minutes, then 5-10 minutes then we’re back up now 10-15 minutes then 15-30 minutes, you would die on the phone before anyone would ever answer the phone, I’m just going to cancel my credit card, I refuse to be treated like crap by a multi million dollar corporation.

      I hate this card so much. I had an Amtrak Guest rewards Card since the 1990s because I take the train a lot. It was originally with MBNA, then Bank of America, then a few years ago switched to FNBO. I have had nothing but trouble since they switched to FNBO. My very first payment was listed as late, even though I paid it the day I got my bill. I called and they explained it was probably because the mail was late due to COVID. I thought this was strange because it was 2023, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Well, the same thing happened the next month. This time I kept track of the date I mailed my check and on the next statement my check was listed as received 14 days after I mailed it! Impossible. When I called to complain, they offered to refund the late fees and recommended I start automatic payment. I did not want to do this but did not want to fight with them every month, so I agreed. Despite the fact that I pay my bill in full with automatic payment every month, they still decline my card a few days before and a few days after the due date. The excuse is that I am close to the limit and they have to wait for the payment to clear. It is embarrassing and frustrating to have your card declined EVEN THOUGH THE BILL WAS PAID ON TIME IN FULL! 2 months ago I called to have my due date moved up and my credit limit increased l, hoping that would help. Well, this month my automatic payment was posted 6/1 but my card was declined TODAY 6/10. When I called they said it takes 10 daysfor the payment to clear because there was an overdraft on my account. When I said that this did not make sense, since I have the money in my account and have automatic payment, the rep began to berate me for having an overdraft. I never had any issues with a credit card before! I am thinking of closing but I really like getting the Amtrak points. Sigh.

      FNBO rejected my credit card application and gave extremely vague reasons after sending a letter a week later. I had a credit score over 800 (lowered thanks to the hard inquiry on my credit) and said their point system determined that my application scored too low. I had my first credit card for over 5 years and never missed a payment. When I called and asked for clarification on their system or qualifications for approval, they quoted a "proprietary information" policy that prevents them from elaborating further. It was almost like they found every excuse they could to deny me and even said a credit score is "just a guideline and doesn't guarantee anything". They have such a conservative approach to customer service. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some undertones outside of the vague reasons that caused my denial. I decided to do additional research after my phone call and it is no wonder why they barely have a 2 star rating at the BBB or any other website. Would give 0 stars if allowed.

      Dee and Ruby cannot seem to understand the English language. Apple admits to fraudulent charges and FNBO wants to cost me thousands of dollars to remove the small fraudulent charges on my account. Pathetic service.

      They're the worst. They signed me up for a promotion and allowed me to use the card, then canceled it three days later, just before I reached the $500 mark needed to receive the statement credit. What a convenient coincidence. They can't tell me why. I will never bank or use a card underwritten by them again. I highly recommend you don't either.

      What FNBO does to its customers is truly dishonest and disgusting. They have lowered my credit limit twice in one year, which is hurting my credit score. Okay. I am going to pay off the card and close it. Never contact me again with your banking services.

      False Promises, Zero Support – Avoid This Card
      Applied for the Universal Rewards Signature Visa while buying park tickets — approved instantly, but then told I had 10–15 minutes to complete my purchase or wait for the physical card. No heads-up about saving it to a digital wallet, no virtual card option, nothing.
      Called customer service hoping they could expedite the card since I was traveling the next week — nope. Asked if they could provide a virtual card like literally every modern bank does — again, nope. Tried to get retroactive points by showing proof of my Universal visit — yet another nope.
      Worst part? They couldn’t even look up my account because I didn’t physically have the card yet. Absolutely no help, no solutions, no attempt to make things right. Just a bunch of canned “sorry, unfortunately...” responses that went nowhere.
      What’s the point of offering a rewards card if I can’t use it when it actually matters? Their system was smart enough to offer the card during checkout — it should’ve been smart enough to see I was traveling soon and offer a virtual version or at least prioritize shipping.
      I’m missing out on points, discounts, and perks I signed up for — and they couldn’t care less. Once I pay off the balance, this account is gone. I wish I’d read the other one-star reviews first — clearly, this is a pattern.
      Don’t waste your time. Poorly run program, outdated tech, and customer service that couldn’t care less.

      address, such as your hotel.

      We hope this helps and we apologize for the
      inconvenience.
