Raw complaint volume, not a rate: larger institutions naturally draw more CFPB complaints because they serve more customers, and a complaint is a consumer-filed record, not a proven finding of wrongdoing.
Based on this company's own CFPB response record -- timely response, dispute rate, and relief rate, each benchmarked against every tracked company with 10+ complaints. Not a measure of product quality, pricing, or company size.

What the CFPB Complaint Record Shows for First National Bank of Pennsylvania
In the CFPB record, First National Bank of Pennsylvania has a multi-regional complaint footprint. No product draws more complaints than "Checking or savings account," which sits at the top of the product breakdown. The specific issue named most within that category is "Managing an account," a reasonable starting point for understanding recurring friction.
Within the Bureau's 15-day response window, the timely-response measure shows how often forwarded complaints get a reply. This company's rate is under the 95% benchmark companies are expected to hit, often a precursor to higher dispute rates. A formal dispute means the consumer contested the company's response after a case was resolved, a rough measure of how often the first resolution missed the mark. Relief means the case closed with monetary or non-monetary help for the consumer. Both rates sit in the score card above.
How to read complaint counts
Complaint counts alone do not tell the full story: larger institutions with more customers will naturally generate more complaints in absolute terms. The more informative signals are the direction of the yearly trend shown above, the state-level concentration, and the ratio of monetary-relief closures to closed-without-relief outcomes. Together, these fields provide context for reading the published CFPB record; they do not establish wrongdoing or resolve an individual dispute.
