A bridge too far...?

I find it completely counter intuitive and hard to accept that in 2022, in the so called digital age, that FNB cannot assist me. My gripe entails: Discovery Health have a monthly debit order against my bank account (for my husband/my medical aid). For the tax year ended 28 Feb 2022 I need to show just 12 debit order payments, from 01 Mar 2021 to 28 Feb 2022, which shows I did indeed pay for the monthly medical aid subscriptions from my account. This should be such a simple task it should be simpler than sleeping, Not so for FNB? No, I have to print out 12 months of bank statements and e-mail these off to SARS in a file that is 30MB big. In a word, ridiculous. Why can't FNB simply "filter" - you know that useful facility on excel - 12 months of debit orders and print this out. Voila 1 - page, done and dusted. And lest we forget FNB's data only goes as far back as 150 entries - a double whammy. Why do we even have computers...! Not impressed.

Reviewer Update
If FNB actually bothered to read my gripe they would have read that I was looking for 12 months of filtered debit orders from 01 Mar 2021 to 28 Feb 2022. This was not forthcoming. Instead FNB provided me with the exact same debit orders that I'm capable of downloading myself from the FNB banking app. Consequently I'm not surprised that FNB kept their reply to me private, with this level of inadequacy I wouldn't advertise it to the public either. After being frustrated like this please don't bother to do anything, it's now too late. Please pay more attention to what is actually asked of you - my original correspondence was only 184 words long - it can't be that difficult can it...
