First PREMIER® Bank Mastercard Credit Card Review
- Very expensive. The First PREMIER Bank Mastercard Credit Card charges an application-processing fee, an annual fee and a monthly fee. The exact amounts depend on the credit limit you’re assigned, but the processing fee could be anywhere from $25 to $95. The annual fee ranges from $75 to $125 the first year and $45 to $49 each year thereafter. And the monthly fee (waived for the first year) could be as “low” as $6.25 or as high as $10.40.
Best case, you’ll have to pay roughly $290 in fees before the second anniversary of account opening. Worst case, you’ll have to shell out $404. In contrast, the average credit card would cost you about $34.7 over the first two years of use. And the best credit cards for people with the bad credit can be free to use.
- Very little payoff. Your credit limit could be anywhere from $300 to $1,000, depending on what First PREMIER thinks of your overall creditworthiness. But remember, you won’t have all of that at your disposal to start with. Given the First PREMIER Credit Card’s high fees, you may actually wind with very little extra spending power, relative to what you can afford in cash.
For example, if you’re assigned a $300 credit limit, you will have to pay a $95 processing fee before opening your account and then a $75 annual fee once you do, giving you just $130 in borrowing power to work with. Such a paltry amount won’t go very far when you’re faced with emergency expenses. And emergency borrowing is the only reason for someone with bad credit to use an unsecured card instead of a secured card.
- Market’s highest APR. The costs just keep on coming when you use the First PREMIER Bank Card. Balances carried from month to month will accrue interest at a whopping high annual rate. It’s by far the highest APR on the market, according to WalletHub’s database of 1,000+ credit card offers, and nearly double the 18.54% average among secured cards. Furthermore, as finance charges are added to your minimum monthly payment, you’ll have less and less borrowing power to work with the longer you carry a balance.
- Far better alternatives. Regardless of your exact need, you can do better than the First PREMIER Bank Credit Card. If you want a credit card to rebuild your credit, rather than emergency borrowing, there are better options, like no annual fee secured cards.

Where can I withdraw $1000 from my card? Reply 109
WalletHub
@WalletHub
Unfortunately you cannot. Your initial cash advance limit is 10% of your spending limit, which is likely to be $300 to $500. It can jump to 50% of your spending limit after your account has been open for at least 90 days, provided your account is in good standing, but even that might not be enough for a $1,000 cash advance. That could end up being a good thing, too, considering that you’d get charged a 5% cash advance fee and your balance would immediately begin accruing interest at a rate of 36%. It’s not worth incurring such costs for anything but the biggest financial emergencies. With that being said, this card belongs to a network of 24,000 surcharge-free ATMs, and you can find the closest location here: https://firstpremier.com/locations/ . Please let us know if you have any other questions.

If I just got my credit card with a limit of $300, can I take out more money? Reply 94
WalletHub
@WalletHub
You can withdraw up to 10% of your credit limit in cash, or $30. But you will need to obtain a PIN from First Premier before performing this type of transaction, known as a cash advance. You can reach their customer service department at 800-987-5521 . You should also known that cash advances are quite expensive. You’ll be charged a fee of 5% (min $6), and interest will immediately begin accruing at a 36% rate.

I applied and paid the $95 dollars which were removed from my account on Thursday. I am wondering how long it will be before I get the card said 7 to 10 days. If this is true it won't take longer. Removing the 95 really hurt. I hope the card comes soon. If some one could let me know how fast they received the card. I have heard good and bad, so I hope for good. Thanks.

You will have to wait between 7 to 10 business days to receive it. If you don't receive it in this timeframe, it's best to call customer service at 800-987-5521 and see what's going on. Best of luck!

After paying my processing fee, how much cash will I have available to withdraw and can I do it instantly? Reply 73
WalletHub
@WalletHub
Your initial cash advance limit is 10% of your spending limit, but it can jump to 50% after your account has been open for at least 90 days, provided the account stays in good standing. The processing fee does not count against either limit. However, keep in mind that you will be charged a 5% cash advance fee, and the amount that you withdraw will immediately begin accruing interest at a rate of 36%. It’s not worth incurring such costs for anything but the biggest financial emergencies. But if you do decide to perform a cash advance, at least make sure to use one of First Premier’s 24,000 surcharge-free ATM locations: https://firstpremier.com/locations/. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

@WalletHub
No, unfortunately you cannot use a gift card to pay the application processing fee. You will need a bank account with a debit card to do so. Hope this helps.

Can transferring a charge off to a new account with the same company raise my credit score? I just received a letter from First Premier to a new First Premier Bank Platinum MasterCard. They say my old account will report as settled. It is interest free for one year and 19.9% there after. It seems to me that this only benefits First Premier. Is there any way this will help me or anyone else rebuild credit history? Reply 63
WalletHub
@WalletHub
Transferring a charge off to a new account will not improve your credit score. You will be able to rebuild your credit if you make payments on time and your account is in good standing. This positive information will show on your credit score.

They sent my husband an invitation to apply for a second card, and I was going to have my husband take the offer, but the reality is that it isn't worth our time. Their FEES ARE EXTREMELY HIGH. We do not recommend first premier credit card. This company abuses people's money. It doesn't get more terrifying.

This place is a complete rip off, pay $100 to get a credit card. Everytime i go to use it, they claim not enough funds. I look and there is an available balance. This month I paid $100.00 to take directly out of my bank account. They put a hold of 7 days on a bank draft!?! Can you imagine all the people that have holds for 7 days??? That is interest free money. I CLOSED THE ACCOUNT - STAY AWAY… show more

I have to say....if you are upset about the fees, you have no one to blame but yourself. Hard lessons learned. Read the fine print. I guess most didn’t. If u Google u will find plenty of people who will tell you how to keep you fees low. I keep seeing people asking about atms. No wonder you have high fees!!
Jul 02, 2019
I paid my total balance last week which was due by July 5th, my limit is $400. My available credit is still at where it was before I made my payment a week after I made the payment. The app says payment was posted. My question is when does my available credit go back to $400?

Did you pay by debit card over the phone or via the app? That’s the way to get it posted immediately

The worst, most deceptive card ever. After almost two years, never late once, BAMM a $260 AUTODRAFT from Sioux Falls, SD. So I call them and in order to dispute a charge, mail your dispute to, Guess Where? SIoux Falls. the charge was from them. Holy Cow ! I have 0% interest cards, a 740 credit rating and this card has only a $700 limit. Nowhere do you find an annual fee of $260. Closing this fraud ASAP. Thanks Congress !!!… show more

This one of the most expensive credit cards to rebuild your credit. I don't recommend this card to my worst enemy. The fees are high as they can be. You will owe more to the card before you can get started. I apply for 2 cards one was this and the other was Capital one. Now there was no annual fee, there was no set up fee. They gave you the credit you deserve and let you earn more in 6 months. I'm definitely going to pay this card off and only spend like $25 for gas to keep the points going up. Other than that ver disappointed in the FIRST PREMIER they seem to be rip offs putting you in more debt than you start with.… show more

Horrible company ever. Took my money and then closed my account. They are a fraud rip off scam and non helpfull. Rebuild my credit right only messed it up more and took all my money. Stay away from them.

I think that people with poor credit always have a negative insight on policies, hence the negative reviews on most of these cards for bad credit holders. If you read the terms going in, which we all do, no one can lie and say they didn't, you know what to expect. Just because you defaulted on a payment or can't pay your balances in full, or withdrew money you now owe interest on, does not mean the company is bad lol. I mean, come on, they are extending credit to people who have a zero chance with the major companies. Be realistic, stop complaining, stop maxing out the cards to the point of not being able to maintain them, and you'll be fine. Fees are fees!! Low or high, you signed up for them. Pay the high fees for as long as it takes to be offered the better cards out there, then cancel this one. It's that simple. And anyone to cancel or not deal with a card like this, because of these poor reviews, does not have a mind of their own. Each person's circumstances are different and each person utilizes credit in a different way. My initial credit limit was $300 which is now $400 after paying the fees! I took one star away because of the poor quality of the website, which tells me that they're not as up to date as they should be.… show more

That’s cool. I paid the fees too and my original limit was 300 ...now they don’t have a limit set so I’m hoping it’s a little higher lol...is that how it happened with you?

Update, having this card now for over 2 years I have gotten my desired credit card. I appreciate Premier giving me a chance and to them I am a valued customer. I did however cancel my oldest card with them. WARNING: when you are closing their card, be ready for a scare tactic to keep your card open. The rep spent 15 min trying tell me how closing the card was gonna hurt not help.
I was patient with her and kept telling her no. She finally closed it, but I am curious how long it gonna take to actually appear closed and will they charge one more monthly fee? Ill just have to keep an eye on it I guess. The card is paid off in full too.
I do have another card with them and I regret getting it. The more you spend, the higher the minimum payment is. Like I did max it out once, I knew it was gonna hurt, but give me a break, I was paying student tuition. I max the card out, thinking I will just have to pay the minimum for a little while. SUPRISE! On a $1000 card I spent $976 on tuition, a $30 min payment jumped to $70. How was I gonna pay this? Luckily my sister gave me the money to pay it off, and I have only spent $200 in last few months and I keep it paid. Once I get some age on the card I am closing that nasty beast down.
My advice read the fine print! Pay your bill on time!
I never had any problems with them and were always friendly with me, even in their scare tactic of closing my card.
Old post:
Okay as said in the first review this card is not good
for Emergency at first. For me I had to pay 95.00 start up fee off the bat, and then 99.00 annual fee was charged to the card. However I have no problems with them, other than one time when I paid with two debt cards they suspended the credit card. I had to get my bank to show that both cards belonged to me.
Pros of the card - you can pay with a debit card, no extra fee and funds are available next day. This was my first credit card and thanks to them I have built a better score.
Cons - high APR, start up fees.
My advice is make SURE you read their terms, and/or talk to a live agent. I knew what I got into and made SURE to pay on time and more than the minimum payment.
When I opened the card, my score shot up 40pts and I been able to build on that.
If considering the card, just pay attention to their terms and way the pros and cons.… show more

The fees are high but it beats putting up 300 on a secured card am I right. Will not be using this card often as I hear there are high hidden fees.i jist want to increase my credit score.

If I could give this card and company zero stars, I would! It’s been an absolute nightmare with all the fees and interest. I had my card paid down to a zero balance and happily closed it. When closing the card over the phone the employee happily told me that I had a zero balance on the card and would owe nothing in the future, however I’m STILL being harassed by calls saying that I owe them $95.00! Absolutely ridiculous! I closed at a zero balance. NEVER do business with these people.… show more

The worst card I have ever had. Run, do not walk away! They are scam artists with terrible customer service and they are thieves. I paid off both accounts in FULL and asked them to close both of my accounts. They gave me a song and dance about how terrible it would be for my credit to close it and tried to virtually bully me into keeping my accounts open. I continuously told the pushy representative that I wanted to close my accounts and do not want to give them another penny if my money. She offered to waive monthly fees, reduce my APR to 18%, etc. when I declined she was rude and said that my accounts would be closed. Fast forward to this month and they did not close both of my accounts and even took 57 dollars out of my bank account as an automatic payment which i have no idea what for since I paid my accounts in full. Not only did they lie about closing my accounts but they stole from me as well! I’m on the phone with my bank to reverse charges and of course first premier offices are closed and I can’t get ahold of anyone to give them a piece of my mind. My account that is still open against my wishes is showing a balance of negative 57 dollars now. Perhaps a tactic to get me to keep the account open? I am livid.

I got my card in the mail, it is laying on my desk, I am trying to decide whether to activate it or not. After reading the comments, here's my take: Read the fine print. Everything that people are complaining about is in the paperwork. It tells you they are going to charge the $99 annual fee as soon as you activate the card. The interest rate and fees are horrible - it's all in there. Let the buyer beware. I'm trying to decide if I want to spend $194 to have access to $301.… show more

Boom after the first year of having the card you'll a $10 a month convenience fee after your $49 annual that's the catch it double FEES can not be justified. Now the plot thickens because firstly you have to recieve the card that will never come in the mail no matter how much you call First Premier the only way you get a tracking number is to commit more money to a card you never recieved of $35 its a total lost.

I started with 1st premier 5yrs ago, and despote what I was told, I have enjoyed my credit privileges with a Mastercard, and Platinum Card with an 850.00 limit on one and 950.00 on the other one, and regularly reporting to the credit bureaus, in great standing! Real talk? When your credit is bad, you want respect? Pay your bills! Respect is earned, and not given! You don't get red carpet treatment with a 500 credit score! Sorry, but not happening, and 5 yrs ago i started with 1st premier and now I have over 50k in available credit, because I paid my bills ontime! Amex-2 cards, Chase-2 cards, and a host of others, and those blessings wouldnt have been possible without me starting somewhere! I started with 1st Premier, and from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! Mercedes, 2 BMW's, Cadillac, Ccrvette, F250, Expedition, Jeep , buying a yacht, you heard me! Dam right! And an estate dream home in the fall! Thank you Lord! Thanks 1st Premier for giving me a chance to start somewhere, and you will always be apart of my financial picture, as long as I live! The secret! Pay your credit card weekly! Not once a month! You will find that favor will be shown you, in doimg so! Credit card balances cant be managed once a month, and if you pay minimum payments every month, nobody will take you seriously! Never pay minimum payments! Always add 20.00 to the minimum if possible! Thats how you manage credit card balances! One payment takes care of the balance, but the others go directly to the principle! Believe what you want and do as you please, but I'm with 1st Premier until Jesus comes baby! Luv my 1st Premier Bank/ Staff!

BEWARE PLEASE do not do it, you will regret it! I received a $ 700 credit and paid on time for 6 months valance and they offered me another $ 700 card. I made automatic MINIMUM payments debited from my checking account all the time. pay annual charges separately of $ 75. plus $ 12 extra monthly (for each card) for owning the card. plus all the charges that they want to add you. My paper statements never arrived and I decided to talk to them to see what happened. I needed to see how much they were charging me. the website is disgusting. They only allow you to see the valance but not the hidden charges. I was perplexed to see him pay this shameless bank around $ 1 100. dollars in nonsense interests.
$ 75 x 2/HALF = $ 225 ANNUAL FEE
$ 12 X 18 months X 1 card + $12X12 months 1 card = $ 360 MONTHLY FEE
$ 281 (FIRST CARD IN ONE YEAR) INTEREST CHARGE ON PURCHASES.
$ 196 (SECOND CARD IN ONE YEAR) INTEREST CHARGE ON PURCHASES.
TOTAL = $ 1 062.00 dollars thrown away in 1 year for using this shit and my credit was always in the same place. This is a theft without justification, do not let it happen to you.… show more

I was approved for a $700 credit limit on 12/3, I needed some extra for Christmas shopping. They are charging a $79 annual fee plus $8 monthly fee, that's $175 annually plus high interest rates. When you recieve the card you're $87 in the hole. It seemed like a bad deal to me, so I called today and canceled the card.

Made my payment on time still got hit with a late fee. They wont do anything to reverse the fee. So much for always making my payment on time. This card is a joke. Customer service is absolute garbage and will not even try to understand the problem.

A One Star review is being generous. I would have gone lower if I could. I got this card because the offer came in the mail and I needed money for some bills. I paid my first payment fine, but when I tried to pay my second, their site said that it went through...until a month later when I got a bill for that amount plus a late fee and another fee. Now the payment was $104 instead of $39. I tried to pay it and got an error, followed by a message saying that I was over my allowed attempts to pay and that my card had been suspended. After trying to get ahold of them, I finally succeeded. The person didn't listen to a word I said and didn't fix anything. I now owe over $220...because of their failings. I will never use this company again, nor will I ever have anything good to say about them to others.… show more

The security department is horrible. I made too many payments to my card??? Clearly you can see the transactions are for car rentals. FPB suspenses my acct for fraud in October. I’m paying my acct from my debit card. But I complied with the requests to provide a statement from my bank proving that is my debit car making those payments. FPB receives this information NOVEMBER 7 told me everything was all clear NOVEMBER 12. Why when I attempted to make a payment they would not except it because the security department forgot to take the hold off. It is now NOVEMBER 23. The security team did nothing absolutely nothing to resolve my concerns in a timely manner or at all. They don’t take phone calls and they cost me $300 in Uber costs because I could not rent a car during the investigation. What investigation??? I spearheaded all communications!!!!! THE SECURITY FRAUD DEPARTMENT IS HORRIBLE!!!!!… show more

Charges 14.50 monthly fee, AND 49.00 annual fee. I thought maybe they would remove the fees after I have paid on time for the pass 3 years 8 months, but they refuse. They even continue to charge you for a credit line increase, that THEY offer you! Then they'll harass you to get a second card so that they can get double the fees by charging you these same fees on the 2nd card! And I can't drop the card right now because this will drop my credit score and I need my scores to purchase a home. I say do some research and find a card that will drop or lower fees over time when you are making timely payments, otherwise you'll be stuck with these crazy fees!… show more

And on top of it all, when you make a payment, they hold that payment for a week before it is withdrawn from your checking account and before it is available for use again. And even as an almost 4 year, grade A customer, you can't even negotiate wifh them. DO NOT CHOOSE THIS CARD YOU WILL REGRET!

They just suspended my card for being a good customer. I pay my balances in full every 2 weeks, and because of this, they think I am doing fradualant activity! What??? All I am trying to do is repair my credit and have a good payment history! Wow, they made me photocopy the card I use to pay front and back and fax it to them. Are you kidding me? I have never been punished for being a good customer, Sad! Here's the worst part because I pay the balance in full that leaves me short a week so I use the card until I get paid, now I can't! They have left me in a rock and hard place.… show more

Customer service is disgusting, paid 408... dollars, they took my money and then told me, my deposit was not valid, may be a prepaid card I paid with but it is still linked to my bank account and federally secured, I can see every transaction that comes out. I will be filing a complaint regarding this!

Expensive, overrated, fee-centric, AVOID like the plague! There are PLENTY of OTHER, better credit-rebuilding cards to use!
This company has you jump through all kinds of hoops. They expect much, and give way too little back!

Horrible card, don’t tell you up front about the fees until after they’ve hit you CR check, $99 start up fee and $95 annual fee. Can’t use most places without a pin.
I’m not sure about the monthly fees yet but I’m sure I’ll find out next months bill

I just got approved for a $700 starting limit. I read the disclosures and there’s nothing on mine about this processing fee to be paid prior to getting the card. Just shows the $75 fee and $8 month, with approx $613 credit available at arrival. Have any of you not had to pay that processing fee? On other first premier sites, it does mention the $95 processing fee and with a lower starting limit than the recommendation for the card I just applied for.… show more

I was just approved today as well for a $700 credit limit. I have not seen anything about the processing fee either. Someone else I know got a limit for $500 and had to pay a fee of $29 to get her card. I'm curious if over $500 there isn't one

HORRIBLE!!!
Very high interest rate. and SOOOOO many hidden fees.
I have never made a late payment on this card so no fees were due to late payments. After having the card for a year, I asked for a credit limit increase.
They increased it by $100, but charged me $120 in fees!!! what?????
TWO $20 Credit check fees (they charged me for this twice and would not reverse one of them); $25 credit limit increase fees; $25 annual fee happened to go through at the same time; and two random "monthly fees" totaling $30 that I had never been charged for in the past all of the sudden started showing up.
Also, just a heads up. When you first receive this card, you may have a credit limit of $300, but they charge you so many fees at startup that you do not have the full balance available. a $95 processing fee, and then another $99 startup fee. so the available balance at the beginning is only $106. And you start your new card off with a balance that you owe of $194.00
DO NOT GET THIS CARD. they are total scammers.… show more

I did have a capital one credit card with a very bad APR of 18 % and i it was really apain in the ass for me. I applied for various cards and i was denied until i used the help of a very good engineer who helped raise my credit score to a 795 and delete negatives on my report, Now i have been approved a new amex card and i cant express how happy i am. I sincerely advise those seeking real credit restoration to reach out to MASTERCREDITFIX at GMAIL dot COM and just let him know I referred you and he would respond swiftly.… show more
