We LOVE First Bank!! From the very first time my husband and I stepped in to ask a couple of questions we have loved the small town feel of knowing the people that are taking care of our money, with all the large bank amenities! We would highly recommend this bank (and we have) to anyone looking for a bank!

The teller who helped me today was so kind and patient, I felt like I was the most important depositor they have. The branch manager walked me around the building and helped me with my ATM transaction. Their kindness will be remembered always.

If you have unauthorized charges on your account, it is important to act quickly to protect yourself and stop any further charges.
Contact Us. First Bank can find out more about the transaction, close your debit card, freeze your account, or take other necessary steps to protect you and your account.
Contact the Vendor. Unauthorized charges should be disputed with the vendor in question. If the charge has already been posted to your account, it may take time to get the money credited back to your account.
File a Fraud or Police Report. Depending on the severity of the situation, you may need to file a fraud report with the local police department. A report may also be necessary if the thief has attempted identity theft. Be sure to keep a copy of your police report.
Switch Automatic Deposits and Payments. If you had to close your account or bank card due to unauthorized charges, you will need to switch everything that was direct deposited or automatically drafted from the compromised account or card.
Monitor Your Account and Credit. Continue to monitor your new account/card closely. Consider putting a freezing your credit report so that no one can get access to your credit file without your consent.
If your VISA debit card is registered with SecurLOCK™ Equip on your My Pocket Bank app, you can lock or unlock your card with a single touch.

Overdraft associated fees depend on which overdraft coverage option you have chosen.
If you have enrolled in Overdraft Protection Sweep, we will automatically transfer funds from another deposit account you have at First Bank Richmond into your overdrawn account. A $5 per transfer fee is associated with this coverage option unless you have a Classic Fit account.
Overdraft Privilege, both standard and extended coverage, have a $29 per item fee. If multiple items overdraw your account on the same day, each item will be assessed an appropriate Overdraft Fee or a Return Item Fee of $29. All fees and charges will be included as part of the Overdraft Privilege limit amount.
For consumer accounts, there is a limit of 5 Overdraft Fees ($145.00) per day we will charge. We will not charge an Overdraft Fee if your personal account is overdrawn by $5 or less.
Overdraft Privilege is not a line of credit; it is a discretionary overdraft service that can be withdrawn at any time without prior notice.
