DANSPLAAS COMPLAINT

I am a SMME based in George and my business is only going to open maybe in level 1 due to my industry being it entertainment and a pub with live music etc. i approached FNB for the SAFT funding for my staff and was approved and contract signed but then i was told "sorry there is no funding" surely the contracts that was signed should be getting priority as this was approved applications ? THIS IS NOT SATISFACTORY !!

then a second instance the government released another R200 bilion as guarantee to the banks to assist SMME's for overheads and i app**** twice for this loan and they declined me saying i do not meet the FNB criteria.... my business is too new and my industry type is too risky! I have given detailed information on the growth of my business since we opened and each month it was growing drastically! and yet they decline me ! Now i ask the question, is this my fault that our President put us on lockdown ? NO ! We have to follow the law and obide and now my business is closed and i have no income whatsoever! The government is giving GUARANTEE to the banks so why can they not approve me , because i do not meet "their" criteria? no where did the government state that my business has to be a certain amount of trading years or months , and my turnover is less than R300 million p/a and neither did they state which industries qualify for these loans, they said ALL SMME'S !!!!

FNB I AM VERY DISGUSTED WITH YOUR OUTCOME ON ASSISTING ME WITH MY BUSINESS! IF I DO NOT GET A POSITIVE OUTCOME I WILL REPORT THIS TO THE OMBUDSMAN FOR BANKING SERVICES AS WELL !

I AM DISGUSTED THAT A BANK CAN MAKE THESE DECISIONS DURING A TIME LIKE NOW - THEY RATHER SEE ME CLOSE MY BUSINESS (WHICH MEANS MY ACCOUNT WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE CLOSED AS WELL AND FNB LOSING MONEY, ) THAN HELPING ME !

TERRIBLE!!
