How do I activate my debit card?

Call 1-800-290-7893 and follow the prompts for activating your card and establishing a personal identification number (PIN).

If you have questions or need assistance, start a chat with us through Support in My First Bank Mobile App or Online Banking, email CustomerService@MyFirst.Bank, or call 1-800-538-3979.

How can I report a lost or stolen debit card?

You can report your lost or stolen First Bank Debit Card 24-hours a day by calling 1-888-297-3416, option 2.

If you notice unauthorized activity on your debit card, you can turn your card off right away with the Card Management feature in your First Bank Mobile App and Online Banking.

Even if you use Card Management to turn off your debit card, you should still contact us to report the unauthorized activity on your card and obtain a new one.

Is Virtual Teller replacing human tellers?

No. Think of our Virtual Teller machines like an ATM, but better. Our Virtual Teller machines allow clients to self-serve with more transaction options, which means more flexibility and options for you! Our awesome staff will remain and will now be available 'behind the camera' to serve clients at the Virtual Teller machines during business hours, too.
