Bad service, not knowledgeable, no working solutions via chats, emails not answered.

After time and time again receiving bad service, not responses to emails, etc. I've decided to write a review on Hello Peter. From the consultants opening the wrong account after clearly explaining my needs, to consultants on chats not knowing how to help or giving outdated information and not solving most issues for me, and now I cant withdraw Paypal money because there is an technical error when their website tries to link to Paypal. Chat consultant asked me to email Paypal dept directly, and even though their automated email response says they will answer within 24 hours, I have not received an answer after 7 days of waiting and I still cant withdraw money. I would probably have to go in to the bank physically just to sort this out. There are also many errors on their website, this happens too often and becomes annoying. Even their app doesnt work properly, there are so many menus not working when you click on it, etc. Just overall very bad, but I'm forced to use them so I can withdraw money to my Paypal account. I do like that they offer Business Zero accounts for small businesses, but the cons outweigh the pros by far.

Hello, I just received another email that does not help me at all. Please see the consultants email below:

" Good day

This email is with regards to the complaint that was forwarded to us.

Please find attached guide. (applicable on the FNB App and Online Banking)

If you do not bank with FNB you are first required to open a FNB Online Banking profile as a Non-FNB customer on www.fnb.co.za "Register" "Register for PayPal as a Non-FNB customer"

For more information with regards to the FNB PayPal Top Up and Withdraw Service please contact us directly on ***or *** . to speak to a consultant

Regards,
Zanele Mahlaba

Client Service Consultant
Foreign Exchange ***"

As I have already mentioned, I have contacted them and have not received a response in 7 days. And now only after making a complaint, I receive a response, which doesnt help me at all.
