Clueless bank

Still cannot open a savings account for my mum after a month. FICA department continues to insist on a passport or driving license from her when she doesn't have one. Her ID was submitted numerous times via the app and email. Call centre is clueless. Spoke to a manager Daphne whom I cannot get ahold of as the call centre staff are clueless. She promised to sort the matter out once and for all yesterday and I haven't recieved feedback from her as yet. Stay far away from this bank. It's such a pain trying to open a savings account, I don't want to imagine or put myself through the stress of a cheque or credit card!

Hi Preneshen 


Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have followed up on your request and can confirm the following. 

For FICA purposes we do require your mothers SA Passport or complete SA Drivers License as additional identity documents to complete the registration process. 

Should these documents not be available, we will not be able to continue with this application. 

For more information regarding this, please feel free to contact us directly. 


Regards
