I took advantage 0% balance transfer offer from FNBO during the holidays. I read the fine print that said I would be charged interest on store purchases and that 0% balances would be paid before higher% balances. I had no balance on my account when initiated the transfer and stopped using the card. Then a purchase that I made in December was applied to my account in February. No explanation for the delay in applying the charge late. Customer service was nice but not helpful. The interest on the purchase was 26.24%. My guess is that is as high as the usury law allows. Needless to say, the 0% offer wasn't what it seemed to be. I paid the balance in full to avoid more predatory charges. I got involved with FNBO through at promotion at a retailer where I shop. Otherwise, I would avoid them.First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO)

Mike, we are sorry to hear that our services do not meet your expectations and appreciate you taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Please keep in mind that balance transfers do not have a grace period and place your account in a revolving status. This means that any balances on the account at the time a balance transfer posts will begin to accrue interest at the applicable rate. Unfortunately, we are unable to review your purchases or other account history via this method of communication, but if you'd like to give us a call at 888-530-3626, one of our Specialists will be happy to help.Review fromS.

Deceptive, dysfunctional and bad customer service.
I started a Sun Country FNBO credit card a couple years ago. About 6 months ago I was offered a 0% balance transfer option. I took them up on their offer. The next month I paid my bill 100% on current purchases and some extra for the balance transfer amount. The month after that I received a bill charging me interest I called Sun Country FNBO to ask why I was being charged interest. They said because I didn’t pay the balance 100%. I told them I did pay 100% except the balance transfer . I also told them I have done balance transfers with other banks and was never charged this interest as long as I paid 100% of what I charged the month previous After a discussion it was reasoned I shouldn’t of been charged. The next few months I was charged the interest but they credited me the next month. This month there was no credit even though I paid over what was put on there the month before. I ended up talking with an escalation support manager Jake, who was the rudest customer service representative I’ve ever dealt with. He decided I do need to pay the interest and I could not talk with his supervisor. I told him fine, I won’t use your card and get rid of it after the balance transfer is paid. He then tried goading me into closing the account This is a bank to avoid.First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO)

Steve, we're sorry to hear that our services don't meet your expectations, and appreciate you taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Per the terms of the Cardmember Agreement, to avoid interest being charged on new purchases from the date they are made, the entire statement balance needs to be paid in full by the due date each month. If the statement balance is not paid in full each month, the balance is considered to be revolving, and any new purchases will be subject to interest. If you have any other questions, you can give us a call at 888-530-3626 and one of our Specialists will be happy to help.Review fromTony J

I opened a checking , account , and credit card as part of a promotion. The credit card application got declined because they couldn't verify my identity. I have opened several credit cards, checking accounts with various financial institutions over the years and this was the first time I ran into something like this. When I called to ask what they needed to verify my identity, they didn't have answer. They just wanted me to apply again, and get another credit enquiry. This is a terrible institution and I will be closing all my accounts with them, and stay away from them.First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO)

I've had the same credit card with FNBO for the last 10 years with the same address and same phone#. I've never been late for my payment and have never had any security issue with my card. Ever suddenly starting from last week, I was getting error message continuously when logging into my account stating 'Unfortunately, we are experiencing technical difficulties at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Please try to access the site again later or call Customer Service for assistance.'. After a day or so, I was finally able to login, linked a bank account (with my own name), and scheduled my payment for my credit card bill. When I logged in again this morning, to my surprise, my newly linked bank account and my scheduled payment have disappeared. I re-linked my bank account and re-scheduled my payment the second time, and immediately called customer service. Although I answered all the verification questions correctly, the CSR insisted to text me for verification (which was never needed before). My text verification worked fine to access my online account right before talking to customer service, but for some reason the text verification from the CSR became a phone call to the same phone I was using and I was not able to switch over with call waiting. I could not ask the CSR on why my first scheduled payment disappeared and if my second scheduled payment will disappear again. After that, I tried to login in again, but I have been getting the same 'technical difficulty' error. 9 hours later I called customer service again. After answering all the verification questions, a rude CSR asked me to go to a bank and have my ID verified. She refused to tell me why and refused to help me with payment concern. I have a large payment due in 4 days. If my scheduled payment is cancelled by FNBO again, I will be charged by a large amount of interest. Is this a game FNBO plays to make money? I should not be liable for interest charge. This is a nightmareFirst National Bank of Omaha (FNBO)

Before BP switched from Synchrony to FNBO my account was set up for automatic drafts. After the switch, the automatic drafts did not happen and I did not know it until today when I received a letter stating the account had been closed. There is so much fraud, I wasn't sure if the letter was legitimate. The letter stated I could make a payment using the enclosed envelope and one was not included, so that made me suspicious, too. To verify, I called the number on the back of my card to check if I had outstanding past due charges and I did. I paid the card off in full right then and there and set the FNBO account up for automatic drafts going forward. After my call was transferred to the review department I was told the account had been closed and could not be reinstated. I have been a long time customer with BP and am very disappointed. I owed less than $200. I will not be using BP or FNBO again.First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO)

Belinda, we're sorry to hear that our services do not meet your expectations, and appreciate you taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Prior to the conversion, packets were sent to BP credit card customers notifying them of the conversion and what would be happening. Part of this information did explain that customers would need to re-enroll in AutoPay after the conversion date. Unfortunately, if an account is closed due to non-payment, it cannot be re-opened. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any other questions or concerns, you can give us a call at 888-530-3626 and we'd be happy to help.Review fromJames R

I have a dispute and they tell me I have to wait for the fee to post before they do anything. They merely said call back in 2 to 3 business days and start the process over again. That included a 55 minute call wait. 35 minutes to reach fraudulent unit and 20 minutes waiting to speak to a supervisor. This is unacceptable, and you should stay away from this company. I have had success with **************** and ***********. Avoid this company.First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO)

James, we're sorry to hear that the service you received did not meet your expectations and appreciate you taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. At this time, we do not allow transactions to be disputed until they have fully posted to the account, because pending charges may be duplicated by the merchant, may be listed for the wrong amount, or may drop off before posting. The amount of time a charge remains pending is determined by the merchant, but a charge will typically post within 2 to 3 business days of the transaction date. If you are disputing a charge to an authorized merchant, and it has posted, you can give us a call at ************ or submit a secure message after logging into your account from our full website. If you are disputing a charge that you did not authorize, you can give us a call at ************.Review fromLuke O

I tried to pay my bill in full (it was only $49). It got kicked back for some reason. I possibly entered a number wrong in my account info. I asked about it and was told as much. I paid again and it went through on time. Then I got charged a $25 fee. When I asked about it the response was "well its our policy any time a payment gets kicked back". This company has ****** predatory policies and should be avoided at all costs.First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO)

Your offer may be different or may not be available based on our additional evaluation of your application." Unfortunately, once a hard inquiry has been submitted for a credit card application, it will not be removed.

I paid my balance off with ************ prior to FNBO taking over the ** account back in May 2022. When they took over I still had a $620.01. balance on my new bill when it was paid prior to the take over. I have been dealing with this since May. I have sent proof of payment multiple times to FNBO, but somehow they never get it when I was told that Lynn in accounting did receive it. We were told on 11/25/22 and again on 12/19/22 that they were writing everything off and they would clear the credit report for this. It is now 1/18/2023 and still nothing and it is hurting my credit report. I can't even count how many times I have called to deal with this matter. This last person Jennifer employee ID Y250 was rude and wouldn't transfer me or help with this. WORST PLACE EVER!!!!First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO)
