First Premier Bank issues the First Premier Credit Card, a financial product available to people with varying credit histories. The card functions like other credit cards—you receive a credit line, make purchases, and pay a monthly bill. To manage your account online, you'll need to access the cardholder portal through the bank's website.

The First Premier Credit Card has been offered since the 1990s and serves customers who may have limited credit options. The card comes with specific terms, fees, and credit limits that vary based on individual circumstances. Before attempting to log in, it helps to understand what information you'll need and what your online account actually shows you.
When you open a First Premier Credit Card account, you receive account documentation in the mail. This documentation contains your account number, which is a key identifier for online access. Your account number appears on your physical card and on your monthly statements. You'll also choose a personal identification number (PIN) or password during the account setup process.
The online portal lets you view your current balance, recent transactions, payment history, and credit limit. You can also see your available credit—the difference between your total credit limit and your current balance. Some cardholders use online access to track spending patterns and monitor for unauthorized charges.
One important distinction: logging into your account shows you information about your own credit activity. It does not determine whether you received the card in the first place or what terms were offered to you. Those decisions happened when you first opened the account. Online access simply shows you the status of that existing account.
Takeaway: Gather your account number and any password information you created before attempting to log in. Your online account is a tool for monitoring your existing credit card activity, not for completing any new transaction or request.
Logging into your First Premier Credit Card account involves visiting the official bank website and entering your credentials. The website address is typically found on your monthly statement or on any welcome materials you received when you opened your account. Using the correct website is important because fraudulent websites sometimes mimic legitimate financial websites to steal login information.
How to Use Your Credit Card Wisely →
To begin the login process, look for a link labeled "Log In," "Sign In," or "Account Access" on the First Premier Bank website homepage. This link usually appears in the upper right corner of the page or in a dedicated section for existing cardholders. Clicking this link takes you to a secure login page.
On the login page, you'll see fields for entering your credentials. Typically, you'll need to enter your account number and your password or PIN. Your account number is the 16-digit number on the front of your physical card. Your password is something you created when you first set up online access, or it may have been assigned to you and you later changed it.
After entering your account number and password correctly, the system asks you to confirm your identity through a second method. This is called multi-factor authentication and adds a security layer. Common second steps include:
Once you complete the second verification step, you're logged into your account and can see your dashboard. The dashboard typically shows your current balance, available credit, recent transactions, and payment due date. If login fails after multiple attempts, the system may temporarily lock your account for security reasons. In that case, you can call the customer service number on the back of your card.
Takeaway: Use only the official First Premier Bank website, keep your password private, and expect to verify your identity through a second method. If you forget your password, the website has an option to reset it by confirming your identity.
Forgetting your login credentials is common, and First Premier Bank provides ways to regain access without calling customer service, though that remains an option. The recovery process protects your account by requiring you to verify your identity before allowing password changes.

On the login page, look for a link that says "Forgot Your Password," "Can't Sign In," or "Password Reset." Clicking this link takes you to an account recovery page. The system will ask you for information to confirm you're the account holder. This typically includes your account number and possibly your date of birth or the last four digits of your Social Security number.
After you provide this information, the system verifies that it matches the data on file for your account. If verification succeeds, you'll be offered ways to receive a password reset link or code. The system usually offers multiple options:
If you choose to receive a reset link by email, you'll get a message with a link that remains valid for a limited time—usually 24 hours. Clicking that link takes you to a page where you create a new password. Passwords typically must meet certain requirements, such as including at least one number and one letter, or being a certain length.
When creating a new password, choose something you'll remember but that others won't guess. Avoid using easily available information like your birth date, address, or account number. A combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols creates a stronger password than words alone.
If you don't have access to the email or phone number on file, you'll need to contact First Premier Bank customer service directly. Representatives can verify your identity through other means and help you regain access. The customer service number appears on the back of your physical card and on your monthly statement.
Takeaway: Use the password recovery tool on the login page to regain access without making a phone call. Keep your email address and phone number current with the bank so recovery options work when you need them.
Once logged in, your account dashboard displays several categories of information about your credit card activity. Understanding what each section shows helps you monitor your account and catch any issues early.

Your account balance is the total amount you currently owe on your credit card. This includes all purchases you've made with the card that haven't been paid off yet. If you've made a payment but the bank hasn't processed it, the balance may not reflect that payment immediately—processing typically takes one to three business days depending on how you paid.
Your available credit is the amount you can still borrow on your card. If your credit limit is $1,000 and your balance is $300, your available credit is $700. As you make new purchases, your available credit decreases and your balance increases. As you make payments, your balance decreases and your available credit increases.
Your credit limit is the maximum amount you can charge to your card. This limit is set when your account opens and may change over time. Some cardholders receive notices about credit limit increases or decreases. You can sometimes request a credit limit change through the online portal or by calling customer service.
Your recent transactions section shows purchases you've made with the card, typically from the last 30 to 90 days. Each transaction lists the merchant name, transaction date, and amount charged. Reviewing this section regularly helps you spot unauthorized charges or errors. If you see a charge you didn't make, you can dispute it by contacting customer service.
Your payment history section shows all payments you've made, including the payment date and amount. This record helps you verify that payments have been received and applied to your account. It also provides a history you can reference for your own records.
Your statement section shows your monthly billing statements, usually available as downloadable PDF files. These statements include a summary of all charges, payments, fees, interest, and your account activity for the month. You can download and save these statements for your records.
Takeaway: Review your account information regularly—at least monthly—to monitor spending, verify payments have been received, and spot any unauthorized activity quickly.
