Small Business Account Collapse

<p>ABSA you have stopped my account for the last time !!!!! I am trying to run a side line business . I have lost a major customer because of you . From closing my account to now freezing it because of FICA requirements- How did I get it right to open the account 3 months ago without proof of residence - look at the paperwork or did you loose it all !!!?????? No notifications! Trying to pay a supplier- so embarassing! What are the bank charges for ???? I am done talking with you ABSA , just want everyone to know who wants to be an entrepeneur.... BANK ELSEWHERE.... ABSA WILL NOT ASSIST YOU .</p>

Reviewer Update

Good day Danzig, thank you my account has been reactivated yesterday. I just am at a point where I felt I needed prospective new clients to understand the pain that comes along without fail every 3 months . I work full time and I have this side line business which is not as active currently , I make sure that I transact on the account just to keep it open, it just seems when I need the account when I do get business there is always a problem . Here is my account number so you can actually see how many issues I have had with it. I have dealt with ABSA action line before and at this point I cringe when I have to deal with ABSA and this account, I have absolutely no patience left , it shouldn't be so hard . My entire personal profile is with ABSA and i have never experienced issues like i do with my business bank.

So thank you for your response , hope my feedback can assist in bettering your services and possible policies . Not sure where the bottlenecks lie.
