Debit order mandate issues

I’ve been banking with discovery for a year now, from being a Fnb Private banking client for years. I must say I’ve been tolerating bad service for a while since I’ve joined but let it slide. Don’t ever join this bank, you’ll regret it! Call centre agents are clueless when it comes to problem solving. I tried to get assistance from creditors , but the mandate keeps getting rejected stating that I am not FICA compliant. When I call the bankers, they are clueless. This bank is the most inconvenient bank I’ve ever banked with and I wouldn’t want anyone to sign up for bull****. A damn circus!

Hi Thabo M,

We have logged a case with our New Accounts Consultants team who deal with FICA queries, to investigate and see if there may be any issues on the profile. We are waiting for feedback with this.

In the bank app do you have any outstanding actions, requesting that you update your personal details?

Lastly, to confirm, are these online mandates "debi check" requests that you want to accept?

Kind regards,
Tyrone

Best regards,

Hi Tyrone
I have not received any actions to update my details. And yes I am trying to accept an online mandate.
