Introducing the Dollar Belles

Is avocado toast really going to bankrupt you? How can you even THINK about a budget with student loans, cell phone, a car payment, AND finding a place with decent rent? Does your credit score really matter, or is it a made-up number like the one the cable company gives you when you book an appointment?

These are the questions we’re here to answer. Introducing First National Bank of Omaha’s Dollar Belles — three financially-focused ladies here to spill the tea on all things cash-related in your life, from checking to savings to credit and all things money that may be on your mind.

Great, big, small — we’re the bank that has your back.

With 55,000 ATMs in our network, one is near you.


The payment of transactions into overdraft is discretionary and we reserve the right to not pay. Generally, we do not pay overdrafts if you are not making regular deposits, or you have excessive overdrafts, or based on your account history and how you maintain your account. We may change your overdraft privileges due to poor account management.

We may pay overdrafts for checks and other transactions using your account number and for automatic bill payments (ACH and recurring debit transactions), and if you give us permission, we may authorize and pay overdrafts for ATM transactions and everyday non-recurring debit transactions (individual debit card purchases such as grocery store or one-time online purchases). Our expectation is you bring your account to a positive balance immediately (including payment of all bank fees and charges).
