Review summary

Overall, reviews for the First Progress Android app are largely negative. Recurrent issues include unreliable auto-pay and payment processing that trigger late fees, delays in posting payments, frequent login errors and bugs, device compatibility problems, and accounts being closed without warning with unclear refunds. A minority note the app’s usefulness for monitoring balance and credit-building when it functions and is updated. Reliability and support are the main pain points, with limited value when the app is not working.

Pros

Helps track balance, payments, and credit-building progress.
Easy to view balance, payments, and progress in one place.
Helpful for rebuilding credit when the app works and is kept updated.

Cons

Auto Pay setup and processing is unreliable, leading to missed payments and late fees.
Payments post slowly or fail to post on time, causing late fees despite timely payments.
Frequent login issues, app bugs, and device compatibility problems.
Accounts can be closed without warning, and deposit refunds/status are unclear.
Customer service is often unhelpful or unresponsive.

2026-03-20	Ja*****	This is not a review of the First Progress credit card. I've had mine for years. But their app is garbage. I've tried numerous times to sign up for Auto Pay, the app says I'm signed up for auto pay, but no payment is ever taken from my account and I'm hit with a late fee. Called into their phone number only to find out you can't even sign up for auto-pay over the phone. Just tried via the web portal and hopefully this one works. Disappointed.

2026-01-22	De*****	There are better secured credit cards available, spend a few moments to find them. First Progress cards don't have a chip or NFC and cannot be added to Apple or Google Wallet. The physical card looks like it's from the year 2000. FP closed my account and I didn't even notice at first because I never use it. Getting my deposit back to about a month, and I had to be persistent.
