Absolutely Disgusted with FNB Revolving Credit Department’s Service!

I app**** for a revolving credit loan with FNB on 14 May 2025. The application was approved, I accepted the debit mandate, and both the loan and its insurance reflect on my FNB profile — yet to this day, no funds have been made available.

I’ve followed up countless times across multiple platforms, made it clear that the funds were urgently needed, and have still received no feedback, no explanation, and no resolution. To make matters worse, it turns out there’s apparently no direct line to the Revolving Credit Department — which is absolutely unacceptable for a bank of this size.

Out of desperation, I app**** for a personal loan with another bank on 19 May 2025. It was approved immediately and the funds reflected within minutes — proving that FNB’s incompetence is entirely avoidable.

Furthermore, despite specifically requesting my debit order date for the 1st of each month (as it was with my previous loan), I was told by a clueless consultant that it might be rejected because my salary was deposited on the 26th of April — due to a weekend, which happens occasionally with payroll. How on earth is that even a valid reason?

I’ve been a loyal FNB client since 2022, paid my previous loan to completion, and pay R455 in service fees monthly, yet I’m treated with total disregard and incompetence. It’s shocking, embarrassing, and infuriating.

FNB — your customer service is pathetic, your systems are flawed, and the lack of accountability is disgraceful. If this isn’t resolved immediately, I will escalate this to the Banking Ombudsman and take it to every public platform available.

Do better. Your customers deserve far better than this.

Hi FNB, I am urgently following up on my revolving credit loan (***). It’s been 3 weeks since approval — the loan, debit mandate, and insurance reflect on my profile, yet I still don’t have access to the funds. I’ve called multiple times with no answers. A consultant promised feedback after my complaint but never called back.
This is now a life-or-death matter — the funds are urgently needed for my elderly mother’s medical tests as she’s suffering from internal bleeding and doctors cannot find the source. Without these funds, she cannot get the life-saving procedure she needs. If anything happens to her because of this gross negligence, I will hold FNB directly responsible.
I have been a loyal client for 5 years and pay R455 in monthly fees — for what? Zero service and total disregard for a client’s life-threatening emergency. I demand urgent feedback within 24 hours. Enough is enough.
also seeing that there has been over a 100 other complaints logged against your institution since my post is extreamly concerning.
