Is First Bank down right now?
Check the First Bank status panel here when the app or iLEO sign-up starts failing. A service-side fault pushes First Bank down reports up in a bunch, led by login loops and stuck opening checks. A single failed video check is usually light or camera trouble, not a bank fault.
Short faults clear inside the hour most days. When reports from many users keep growing, pause the sign-up and return later rather than restarting the form.
Is First Bank down for me or everyone?
Try the app on mobile data if your home Wi-Fi started the trouble. Ask a friend with a First Bank account to open their app. Failures on both phones at the same step mean the service is at fault.
Opening an iLEO account with video checks in the app
The iLEO flow photographs your ID, then runs a live video check to match your face. Work in bright, even light with a plain wall behind you. The app grades each photo as you take it and asks for a retake when glare hides the details.
A second account or card from another bank proves identity during the flow. Have one ready before you begin, since the session times out after a long pause.
How the iLEO card links to the digital account
The iLEO card draws straight from the digital account balance. Once the account opens, the card request sits inside the app with delivery tracking. Activation runs in the app the day the card lands in your letterbox. Spending alerts fire for each card payment when alerts are switched on. Customers who moved abroad and kept a First Hawaiian Bank account rely on the same card alerts to watch spending back home.
Checking account opening progress on the status screen
The progress screen shows each opening step as pending, passed or needing work. Photo retakes and extra documents are requested on that screen. During a First Bank outage the progress screen can freeze on one step even after the bank side has passed it. Give a frozen step one working day before you chase it.
Paying the card bill from the app
Card bills sit in the card area with the due date and the amount owed. Pay from the First Bank account in two taps and the mark shows at once. The card total updates after the payment clears, often the next working day. Set a reminder inside the app for two days before the due date.
Common First Bank Problems and Fixes
iLEO sign-up steps and card linking cause most First Bank app trouble, so these fixes start at the opening flow.
Video check keeps failing at sign-up
Move to bright light without a window behind you, since backlight hides your face. Hold the phone at eye level and stay still during the check.
App crashes while uploading the ID photo
Close other apps so the camera and upload have room to run. Take the photo inside the app rather than picking an old gallery shot.
iLEO card does not link after arrival
Run activation from the card screen with the card in hand and follow the code check. Activation only opens after the account itself shows as fully opened.
Opening progress stuck on one step
Wait one working day, since bank-side checks clear in batches. Open the progress screen again after a full sign-out.
Login loops back to the start screen
Clear the app cache and sign in once on mobile data. A loop after an update means broken stored files, which a fresh install clears.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does iLEO need a video check to open?
The video check matches your face to your ID photo without a branch visit. It is the proof step that lets a fully digital account open at all. Good light and a still hand make it pass on the first try.
How long does iLEO opening take when it runs smoothly?
The form itself takes minutes when photos pass at once. Bank-side checks then clear in batches through the day. The progress screen shows the true state, so trust it over guesswork.
What can I do before my iLEO card arrives?
The account works for transfers and payments inside the app from the day it opens. Only card spending at shops waits for the physical card. Delivery tracking for the card sits in the card area.
Can I pay a First Bank card bill from another bank account?
The in-app payment draws from your First Bank account. Paying from another bank runs through that bank’s transfer flow with the card number as the payee. Either way, keep the record until the card total updates.
Is First Bank down when sign-up alone is stuck?
Sign-up runs on extra checks, so it can stall while normal banking works. The live reports above show the wider picture. A flood of First Bank complaints means a shared fault. A calm board points at your photos, light or connection.
Does the app show my non-iLEO accounts too?
Yes, accounts under the same customer profile list together in the app. iLEO sits alongside them with its own card screen. Accounts under a different profile need a branch merge to appear.
