Account frozen due to FICA - where's the warning?

I have been a FNB customer for about 15 years now and have always been happy with the service. The recent FICA updates however, has been done very dissatisfactory. On 23 Nov 2023 I received a message that I need to update my FICA docs and that same day my account was frozen (while I am travelling between Johannesburg and Cape Town!!), but not once was I warned that my account can be frozen if I do not attend to this and also, who gives their customers a few hours to action this - we all have jobs during the day, you know. In addition, I logged into my online banking account and nowhere could I see what the reason was for my account being frozen or even that it was frozen - how can this be?? Experiences like this does not make me a happy customer and causes a lot of inconvenience with debit orders now bouncing this time of the month...really FNB??

Thank you for the reply.

BUT unfortunately your automated messages do not fool me. It is Wednesday the 29th and nothing has been done yet to unfreeze my account. DO YOU KNOW HOW SERIOUS IT IS TO HAVE A FROZEN ACCOUNT THIS TIME OF THE MONTH???

Seriously - FNB customer complaints team means nothing if there is no action - EMPTY WORDS.
