Assisting in small business growth - What a joke - don't fall for this

<p>Just a heads up to small business owners - After moving from another bank to FNB when i heard they assist small business growth all the promised assistance for expanding my business has gone right out of the door, they advertise on radio & TV they assist small business growth but this is NOT TRUE and they only want your business account and once you’re their they don’t give a $#$# about your business.</p> <p> </p> <p>As advertized on their website, don't think you will get what they offer, I have been with FNB now for 3 Years and still struggling just to get a R1000.00 overdraft or credit card on my business account even thou my small business turnover is more that R10 000.00 per month they still will not give me any assistance to expand or provide me with any financial backing, my business has been running for over 8 years and still no trust can be established.</p> <p>They clearly advertize what you will be getting assistance with on the website here - https://www.fnb.co.za/business-banking/accounts/businessAccount.html</p> <p> </p> <p>Nice in big bold letter “Don’t be caught short on cash” with a linked overdraft facility, WOW what a load of bull been 3 years and over 10 applications later and still no assistance. If you have a business and thinking of moving over to FNB, think twice as they will not assist you with any help with your business and you will be alone on the road to success.</p>
