Yes, you can. I had an FNBO card for a great balance transfer offer several years ago and I live in Texas. Great card and bank, but closed it once it served its' purpose. But as mentioned above, the website tells you once you enter zip code also.

Speaking of this card then this bank is also a very generous bank when it comes to credit limit, at least based on my own experience and a few of my friends' too experienced the same. As a matter of fact, this bank just a week ago increased my credit limit out of blue even though I have not used the card in 9 months except once or twice and only for $20 at most. I saw the offer on my online account and once I clicked it, it gave me big increase.
On the other hand, one of my family members applied for their card without any invitation even though we both live in the same state. It occurred 4 yrs back....So it could be possible that they have changed to geo-fenced now. But when my family member receives statement from this bank then its said- First Bank....and mine says- First National Bank of Ohama. But my friend applied her credit card with the site of First National Bank of Ohama. Again, don't know if both these banks are same...because whenever I receive any general type of notification, my friend receives the same thing at the same time. She got much bigger line of credit despite of having not much thicker profile ....So, this is definitely a very generous bank. I personally believe that these two banks are same bank. Their online layout is also the same. Same security questions...I mean, everything is same except names are different. So its better to check it out this First Bank if you are geo-fenced with FNBO. Good luck...
First Bank is an subsidiary of First National Bank of Omaha. It's similar to the relationship Elan Financial Services has to US Bank.
They are both "agent" card issuers of the larger banks. They sell credit card processing services to smaller banks and credit unions who don't want to manage their card services in-house.
