### 4/5 — Logins

*2026-08-07, version 5.31.270*

Login issues with iPhone passwords

### 3/5 — PMT Password

*2026-07-23, version 5.31.270*

You sign into the account then it requires you to password your way into the payment center. That’s using the same password twice. Kind of stupid.

### 2/5 — Immediate Pop-Up

*2026-07-23, version 5.31.270*

When I first login, all I want to see is my balances. NOT THE FNB SHOPPING MALL!!!! Worst update EVER.

### 4/5 — Make a payment on loan

*2026-07-20, version 5.30.248*

I could not figure out how to make a principal payment on my loan. It took me many guesses and tries until I finally figured it out. You need to make it easier.

### 5/5 — Loan payment.

*2026-07-08, version 5.30.248*

I made a payment for the loan and the next month it showed up on my bill that it wasn’t paid then they said I owed nine dollars and some odd cents. I don’t understand where this is coming from. I’m not happy.

### 5/5 — Easy

*2026-07-08, version 5.30.248*

So easy to transfer money!

### 5/5 — App works well

*2026-06-27, version 5.30.248*

Quick, safe & very convenient.  I enjoy being to see account balances & transfer funds seamlessly.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-06-15, version 5.30.248*

Love it!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-06-13, version 5.30.248*

They are great- friendly and helpful.

### 1/5 — Won’t read checks

*2026-06-08, version 5.30.248*

Usually the app is pretty good, but on one check it is insisting the amount I entered does not match the check, which is NOT the case.  I’ve tried rescanning three times with the same result.  Now I have to take the check into a branch.  I don’t have the time for this.  For what I pay this bank in interest on my HELOC, I ought to have an app that is reliable.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App currently not working

*2026-08-20, version 5.31.270*

The app as of 8/19/26 is not working in the iphone.  Have to log in through actually website.  This is now two days of not working.  Tried to uninstall and re install app and that didn’t fix it.  This app is acting more like the bank these days.

### 1/5 — Estore

*2026-08-03, version 5.31.270*

I’ll give it five stars again when the estore doesn’t pop up automatically as the first thing.

### 1/5 — Complete BS

*2026-07-27, version 5.31.270*

I am so fed up with all the errors and not being able to log in. App continues to not recognize my password yet continues to send codes to my cell phone . Either fix your app or I’m looking for a new bank! I’m fed up.

### 1/5 — Got so frustrated with the app I’m choosing not to open an account

*2026-07-25, version 5.31.270*

Between re-requesting data, deciding arbitrarily on a minute by minute basis on wether or not I’m allowed to apply, adding on additional accounts randomly with no way to undo, confusing directions (it once told me to click out once I had tried to wire money from another bank and return to the app. I followed these directions but the only option to “click out” cancelled the whole application with no warning). Overall the experience was so fustrating and had taken over an hour so I will not bother even opening the account

### 1/5 — Bad user experience

*2026-07-19, version 5.30.248*

App signed me out, told me I couldn’t use Face ID to sign in even with the correct password because it thinks I didn’t have security questions set up, which I do. Gave me a 1-800 number to call even though I just wanted to check my balance. It should not be this difficult. Much better experiences with other banks.

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever

*2026-07-09, version 5.30.248*

There’s no way this app has a 4.8 rating. It’s the worst experience in online banking ever. I constantly get login error messages. It makes me want to refi my mortgage even at a higher rate to avoid the horrible tech experiences at FNB.

### 1/5 — This app has become progressively worse

*2026-07-09, version 5.30.248*

I choose FNB for their online banking and tech options. Unfortunately, they’ve become progressively worse over time. The app is always experiencing issues. The saved password is giving error messages at times, when other times it works. It will give connectivity error messages whenever there isn’t any (using both WiFi and data). Facial recognition hardly ever works anymore, and requires you to constantly set it up again. This is such a shame, because the app worked great for years. Time to switch banks!

### 1/5 — This review keeps popping up and I am tired of answering the same question.

*2026-06-22, version 5.30.248*

Make it go away.

### 1/5 — Is it 2009?

*2026-06-17, version 5.30.248*

You should be able to have a “Pay Bill” feature for an auto loan, linking your payment method of choice so you can pay your bill. Why? Because it’s 2026. But no, I needed to establish a whole new checking account with them, just so that I can establish a transfer from my personal bank in order to pay a bill. I will never recommend this bank to anybody

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-12, version 5.30.248*

Everything about this bank and app are painful. The app doesn’t use facial recognition on my iPhone and since it constantly logs me out, I have to rely on a password generator. Cool, but my saved password doesn’t work. OK, I change my password and I still can’t log in.

The bank is no better. I visited a location to update my address after a move. They tell me they can’t do it; I have to go to the branch where I opened my account some 15 years earlier. As if that isn’t annoying enough, that branch closed, so now what? I’ve had some problems occasionally with mismatched addresses when buying stuff online with this card because of this policy. FNB is the bank equivalent of PennDOT.
