      I recently created an account with FNB. Whenever something needs email or phone verification, I never get an email or text. It is to the point now where I can't even login online or using the app because doing either requires text verification, and although they have the correct number the text never arrives. I don't have this issue with any other platform. I'm on hold now for 20 minutes trying to get to a person so that I can resolve this. Previously I called and waited for 30 minutes trying to talk to a person before having to hang up. The best part is the hold music is interrupted about every minute to tell me to use the online platform instead. Wish I could. FNB basically took my money and has locked me out of accounts and given me no way to contact them.

      I owned a house with another who was not my spouse or partner in anyway. We have a right of Survivorship on the deed. She has passed away. She had a mortgage on the house that my name was not on. The mortgage holder, First National Bank, made no attempt to contact me before starting foreclosure even though I had called them upon learning of the other owners death only to be told they couldn't talk to me. I am in the process of selling the house to pay them off. They sent me a payoff with extra interest, legal fees, late charges, unpaid EMS bill, and projected escrow reserves. I've tried to speak with them about these extra charges, some of which wouldn't exist if they'd have talked to me about this when the other party passed away in September of 2023. They will not talk to me at all. The only correspondence has been through email which I initiated.

      I was charged an overdraft fee of $70 when my account was never overdrawn. My account had charges go through that works have overdrawn my account, however a large deposit was immediately made to cover these; account was checked several times and never overdrew. I contacted the main customer service and they validated this and stated the fees would be refunded by the local branch, however after two weeks and 6 attempts by me, the branch did not respond and I have not received my credit. This is the third time in a year this bank has done this.

      Please accept this letter in response to the complaint that we received from the Better Business Bureau 
      (BBB) on April 23, 2024, regarding your checking account at First National Bank of Pennsylvania (FNB).
      We have reviewed the details of your complaint regarding the Overdraft fee (OD fee) that was assessed 
      to your account. On April 3, 2024, the ending balance for your checking account was $123.48. No further 
      transaction activity occurred on your account until April 8, 2024. To determine your available balance, 
      we take your ending balance from the prior business day plus or minus any preauthorized debits or 
      available credits. Your available balance to pay items on April 8, 2024, was $123.48. Because you 
      deposited a transit check on April 8, the funds from the check were not available to pay items until April 
      9, 2024, per the enclosed Deposit Account Agreement.


      From your available balance, your account was presented with four (4) items totaling $394.35, which 
      posted to your account leaving a negative balance of $270.87. The OD fee assessed to your account on 
      April 9, 2024, in the amount of $70.00, was caused by the following transaction amounts: $364.09 and 
      $22.42. Please note that the $2.51 transaction that posted to your account on April 8, 2024, was not 
      assessed an OD fee because it was in the amount of $5.00 or less per the enclosed Consumer Fee 
      Schedule. 


      On April 9, 2024, you contacted the FNB Contact Center via chat to inquire about the OD fee. The 
      Contact Center Representative who assisted you incorrectly advised you that your account balance was 
      not negative. Your account was credited $70.00 for the OD fee as a courtesy on May 6, 2024 . Please 
      keep in mind that moving forward, no fees will be refunded to your account unless they are a result of 
      bank error. A copy of your recent transaction history is enclosed for your reference.


      I also recommend reviewing our Financial Insights video about managing your checking account. The 
      enclosed instructions will help to locate this and other helpful videos to manage your account and 
      increase your financial management knowledge. 


      We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and hope this response to your complaint 
      meets your satisfaction. We have used your experience as a coaching opportunity for our employees to 
      ensure FNB continues to provide an exceptional customer experience.

       I appreciate the $70 refund. However, you state in the reply that there are not overdraft fees charged if accounts overdraw for less than $5. Earlier this week mine did for $3 and I was charged $35. We have had these fees as a result of having three checking accounts and trying to balance this. We are in the process of transferring everything over to one and are obviously missing auto payments. As a result of your providing your policy previously, please refund this $35 as well and then we will close this account and there will be no further complications. Thank you

      Please accept this letter in response to the appeal that we received from the Better Business Bureau 
      (BBB) on May 13, 2024, regarding your checking account at First National Bank of Pennsylvania (FNB).


      As stated in our enclosed previous written response to your initial BBB complaint dated May 7, 2024, 
      the $2.51 transaction that posted to your account on April 8, 2024, was not assessed an Overdraft fee 
      (OD fee) because the transaction itself is in the amount of $5.00 or less. On May 3, 2024, a $43.99 
      transaction posted to your account, which caused a balance of negative $3.86. Please note that because 
      the transaction that caused the overdraft was not in the amount of $5.00 or less, the $35.00 OD fee that 
      was assessed to your account on May 6, 2024, is valid.


      On November 28, 2023, your account was credited $105.00 as a courtesy after Branch Manager 
      Matthew F******* contacted you and explained the overdraft in response to your complaint that was 
      submitted on November 25, 2023. Because of this credit, along with the $70.00 courtesy refund credited 
      to your account on May 6, 2024, the remaining $35.00 OD fee will not be refunded.

      I purchased a car through a dealership. They provided financing through First National Bank. In less than 1 year, they have demanded now for the fourth time proof that the car is insured. I have provided this to them three times in the past. It seems that every time I give it to them, they wait a couple months, and then claim they don't have it.
      This is ridiculous. My husband and I have had a dozen car loans, and we have never run into a company so incompetent that they keep losing the documentation we have provided them.

      Please accept this letter in response to the complaint that we received from the Better Business Bureau 
      (BBB) on April 5, 2024, regarding your auto loan at First National Bank of Pennsylvania (FNB).


      We have reviewed the details of your complaint regarding your Force Placed Insurance (FPI) 
      notifications. On April 3, 2024, Contact Center Manager Gregg L******* contacted you via phone 
      regarding your previous complaint you submitted to FNB via email on March 26, 2024. Mr. L******* 
      explained that the identification cards you previously provided to FNB were not sufficient proof of 
      coverage and your insurance carrier was previously using an incorrect lienholder address, which has 
      since been updated. Mr. L******* also advised that there may be delays between the effective dates of 
      your insurance coverage and when FNB may be notified of your current insurance policy, which can 
      cause you to receive FPI notifications.


      On March 26, 2024, the FNB Insurance department contacted your insurance carrier, who confirmed 
      that your current insurance policy is valid through September 21, 2024. As of the date of this letter, your 
      insurance coverage is current and FNB has not purchased any FPI for your auto loan.


      We hope this response to your complaint meets your satisfaction. While this communication is intended 
      to present the facts of the situation, we would like to express our appreciation for your business and our 
      hope that you will continue to allow us to serve your financial needs.

      Please accept this letter in response to the complaint that we received from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) on 
      March 6, 2024, regarding your auto loan at First National Bank of Pennsylvania (FNB).


      We have reviewed the details of your complaint regarding your payment history. Pursuant to the enclosed note 
      that you signed on July 23, 2022, beginning on September 6, 2022, your monthly payments in the amount of 
      $513.37 are due on the sixth day of each month. You enrolled in automatic recurring payments to debit your 
      monthly payment from your checking account at another financial institution on August 16, 2022.


      Your automatic payment that was debited from your checking account on December 6, 2023, was returned 
      because of insufficient funds. The enclosed notification was provided to you on December 11, 2023, to advise you 
      of the returned payment. On January 4, 2024, the Loan Adjustments department contacted you via phone 
      regarding your past due payment. The Loan Adjustor you spoke with advised you that your loan was past due 
      because of the returned payment.


      You did not make your December 2023 payment until January 8, 2024. Your loan is now current because you made 
      your February 2024 payment on March 6, 2024, and your March 2024 payment on March 11, 2024. Enclosed for 
      your reference is a copy of your payment history. As of the date of this letter, your next payment is due on April 6, 
      2024. This payment will be automatically debited from your external checking account ending in ****, per your 
      request to change your debited account, which FNB completed on December 27, 2023.


      We hope this response to your complaint meets your satisfaction. While this communication is intended to present 
      the facts of the situation, we would like to express our appreciation for your business and our hope that you will

      I contacted the chat feature on my app today. The person helping was less than helpful. Refused to give me her ID and all people helping in the chat have one. She did not help me with my issue and kept repeating . I escalated this for you. No more information as to WHO is was escalated to or anything. I am so sick of the customer service being sub par. You didn’t even do a full investigation when I had fraud on my account. Once I am finished getting my account back to normal. I am taking my banking elsewhere and warning anyone else I can. This is ridiculous. Your online and 1-800 number features are pointless!!! Just reverse the over draft fee. This is the 3rd time now you’ve done it and shouldn’t have! This happened today.

      Business Response

      Date: 03/19/2024

      Please accept this letter in response to the complaint that we received from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) on March 5, 2024, regarding your checking account at First National Bank of Pennsylvania (FNB). 
      We have reviewed the details of your complaint regarding the Overdraft fees (OD fees) assessed to your account. On February 20, 2024, your ending balance for your checking account was $1.88. To determine your available balance, we take your ending balance from the prior business day plus or minus any preauthorized debits or available credits. Your available balance to pay items on February 21, 2024, was $1.88. From your available balance, your account was presented with two (2) items totaling $33.69. The OD fees assessed to your account were caused by these two transactions. 


      On February 29, 2024, your ending balance for your checking account was $295.91. No further transaction activity posted to your account until March 4, 2024. Your available balance to pay items on that day was $163.83, because of a pending debit card transaction in the amount of $132.08. From your available balance, your account was presented with nine (9) items totaling $172.38. The OD fees assessed to your account on March 5, 2024, were caused by the following transaction amounts: $8.54 and $8.54. 


      On March 11, 2024, you spoke with Melissa B********, Branch Manager of the Queen Street Office regarding the OD fees. Ms. B******** advised what account activity caused the fees and that a one-time courtesy refund in the amount of $140.00 would be issued to your account that day. Please keep in mind that going forward, no fees will be refunded to your account unless they are a result of bank error. A copy of your recent transaction activity is enclosed for your reference. 


      After speaking with Ms. B********, you elected to opt out of Optional Overdraft Services that same day. Per the enclosed portion of the Deposit Account Agreement (DAA), provided at account opening, if you are opted out and attempt to make a one-time debit card transaction with insufficient funds, the transaction will be declined. Please note that checks, automated clearing house (ACH) transactions, automatic bill payments and account fees will post in accordance with the DAA. 


      I also recommend reviewing our Financial Insights video about managing your checking account. The enclosed instructions will help to locate this and other helpful videos to manage your account and increase your financial management knowledge. 

      We apologize that you were dissatisfied with your Online Chat session and hope this response to your complaint meets your satisfaction.

      Even with the attached document and the two charges of 8.84- it shows it coming out of a positive balance and leaving a positive amount after on 3/4/24. Never a negative balance which would incur a fee. So it was a bank error and I shouldn’t have to go to these lengths to show it. I did speak with Melissa and the opt on and opt out are irrelevant to this case specifically. As I said to her that day, she wasn’t listening to me. I was disputing a charge. Thank you for a well written response with no true facts or information or apology.

      Case # *****************-FIRST NATIONAL BANK- Dated 10.20.23
      I was a victim of check fraud and had $8930.00 taken that was going to Jordan Tax Services. We believe the check was taken from a lock box outside the post office. When the check was posted I reconciled it as the check I wrote for the taxes not verifying the digital image online. In this case I knew it was my tax check and did not think twice about checking. (lesson learned) I received a new tax bill a month later stating I needed to pay my bill, knowing I paid it I went to the bank to get the copy, only to realize that it was altered. I closed this account because the same person tried to cash a copied check for $9000 that I had caught.I called the customer service number at First National Bank, and they reimbursed me for the $9000, but refused to give me back the altered tax check after 110 days waiting for them to research sighting their disclosure documents and I did not “report it in a timely manner” (what is considered a timely manner?) The disclosure doc reads “(NOTE: you generally have 30 days to report unauthorized activity to us”) Generally is a vague term. They reimbursed the first check knowing it was the same person. This check was cashed at Chase bank. To date Chase has not responded to FNB request for details.
      I did everything I could to help them, I filed a case with their fraud dept., filed a police report, filed a case with the Postmaster General and will press charges if needed. Do banks have insurance for these types of issues? YES, yes they do.
      The bank’s cust. serv. was non-responsive, you cannot even talk to their fraud dept. only through email at the branch location. I caution anyone thinking of banking with institutions that do not work for your best interest to think twice.

      Please accept this letter in response to the complaint that we received from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) on February 21, 2024, regarding your checking account at First National Bank of Pennsylvania (FNB). 


      We have reviewed the details of your complaint regarding your check dispute claim. On August 22, 2023, check #1009 posted to your checking account in the amount of $8,930.08. You visited the Robinson Township Office on October 20, 2023, and reported that this check was altered. The employee who assisted you filed a dispute on your behalf. 


      The FNB Fraud department contacted the financial institution that cashed the check in an effort to recoup the funds on your behalf on October 24, 2023. On January 29, 2024, the claim was declined by the other financial institution. Pursuant to the Deposit Account Agreement provided at account opening and enclosed for your reference, if you identify an alteration to a check that you wrote, you must notify FNB within thirty (30) days of the day the statement containing the altered check is made available to you. Because the enclosed statement containing check #1009 was provided to you on September 6, 2023, and you notified FNB after the 30-day timeframe, the funds will not be credited back to you. 


      We hope this response to your complaint meets your satisfaction. 


      Sincerely,

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.



      FNB did send a response but I am not happy with their response.

      National Fuel hit me with a 14 dollar chargeback since FNB bank did not let my payment go through even though i had money in my bank. Last year i got fired from work and i called National Fuel before my payment was due for a hold and the person forgot to turn off auto pay. I had to get the Utility Commission involved and my bank was suppose to only stop that one payment since the Union was getting my job back, once i got my job back i had money to pay for bills. Dec and Jan payments went through no issue but Feb got a chargeback from my Bank. I work at ***** in Meadville PA. None of this would have happened if i was not targeted and fired without legit reason. The bank knew i was getting my job back. This is on First National Bank and *****. National Fuel is charging the $14 dollars for the chargeback. I am not to blame. I want the chargeback dropped since i should not have to pay it, my bank missed up. I do not want any money nor any punishment on National Fuel or my bank and only want the chargeback dropped. My National Fuel bill should be at zero since i paid the bill.

      Please accept this letter in response to the complaint that we received from the Better Business Bureau 
      (BBB) on February 18, 2024, regarding your checking account at First National Bank of Pennsylvania 
      (FNB).


      We have reviewed the details of your complaint regarding your stop payment. On November 6, 2023, 
      you called the FNB Contact Center to request a stop payment, and the Contact Center Representative 
      (CCR) who assisted you placed a stop payment on your recurring transactions to National Fuel Gas. On 
      November 8, 2023, Branch Manager Margaret Kreiling informed you that the $37.00 stop payment fee 
      that was assessed to your account was refunded as a courtesy upon your request. 


      On February 16, 2024, you called the FNB Contact Center again to inquire about a transaction with 
      National Fuel Gas. The CCR who assisted you stated that you had an active stop payment for this 
      merchant, and that you may visit any FNB office location to request removal of this stop payment and 
      sign the required paperwork. 


      Although the $14.00 fee was not assessed directly by FNB, your checking account was credited on March 
      1, 2024, as a courtesy for this expense. Please keep in mind that going forward, no further stop payment 
      fees, or other fees you may be assessed regarding this transaction, will be refunded to your account 
      unless they are a result of bank error.


      We hope this response to your complaint meets your satisfaction. While this communication is intended 
      to present the facts of the situation, we would like to express our appreciation for your business and our 
      hope that you will continue to allow us to serve your financial needs.

      Please accept this letter in response to the complaint that we received from the Better Business Bureau 
      (BBB) on January 26, 2024, regarding your checking account at First National Bank of Pennsylvania 
      (FNB). 


      We have reviewed the details of your complaint regarding your Zelle® profile in Mobile Banking. On 
      November 1, 2023, you attempted to make a $400.00 Zelle transaction from your checking account. 
      Because your checking account had insufficient funds at the time, your Zelle profile was suspended. An 
      email notification was provided to you the same day that stated the transaction could not be completed 
      and your profile was suspended. 


      You called the Contact Center on January 25, 2024, and spoke with a Contact Center Representative 
      (CCR) who processed a request to remove the suspension from your profile. The suspension was lifted 
      on January 29, 2024. As of the date of this letter your Zelle profile is active. 
      We hope this response to your complaint meets your satisfaction.

      Hi my name is ****** ******. I’m reaching out again about first national bank. I requested to have my car payment skipped due to hardships of Christmas with kids and not only that prices of food and clothing is outrageous! They ignored me completely. Sent me letters threatening me about my payment I did not pay. They had a lady call me one time, she left a crappy voicemail. They are all miserable people in the loan department. Due to a DEATH in my family I am requesting a deferral for 2 of my car payments. This is ALOUD with car loans. If they do not do this for me I will be getting a lawyer. This bank sent me my car title without me paying off my car! They are a terrible bank company. I would never suggest them to anybody!

      Please accept this letter in response to the complaint that we received from the Better Business Bureau 
      (BBB) on January 23, 2024, regarding your auto loan at First National Bank of Pennsylvania (FNB).


      We have reviewed the details of your complaint regarding your payments. Pursuant to the enclosed note 
      that you signed on July 1, 2022, beginning on August 1, 2022, your monthly payments in the amount of 
      $859.60 are due on the first day of each month. On August 31, 2022, your due date was changed to the 
      twenty-first day of each month per your request. The note further states that if you do not make timely 
      payments, you will be in default.


      Beginning on December 21, 2023, the Loan Adjustments department attempted to contact you via phone in 
      response to your BBB correspondence dated December 14, 2023, in which you requested an extension due 
      to the holiday season. However, the supervisor was unable to reach you and left three (3) voicemails for 
      you to call her back. The Loan Adjustments department did not receive any further correspondence from 
      you regarding additional extension requests.


      As of the date of this letter, your payment that was due on January 21, 2024, is currently past due. We 
      encourage you to contact the Loan Adjustments department as soon as possible at ###-###-#### to discuss 
      your loan status and available payment options. A copy of your payment history is enclosed for your 
      reference.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  I received one phone call and nothing else from this bank. My father passed at the end of December and I was unable to call them back. They continually have excuses for their banks crap behavior.
