Discriminatory advertising on FNB cell phone banking app
I use the banking app as a client of FNB and have in the past raised issues to no avail, they promise to reply but it takes either an incredibly long time or just no reply! Although the banking app is reasonably easy to use and convenient, once you open the app, before you can actually transact a number of adverts appear.
Personalized loan of up to R300 000,00 at a interest rate of 12,75%, so I took out a loan to assist my son who's motor vehicle had been written-off by a driver skipping the 4 way stop street - loan amount R100 000,00 at 21% interest. When I enquired about the interest rate difference and the interest rate being advertised I was simply told "take it or leave it, it's the rate!"
Now there is a competition for "vaccinated" customers being advertised and they can win up to Rm6, six million rand! I contacted FNB a registered a complaint, as I find this discriminatory, getting the current experimental, the as yet unresearched and undetermined short and long term effects on humans a personal choice!
No one has to be "vaccinated", especially with a 98% recovery rate, it contradicts the Nuremburg Code, Helsinki Accord and the specialist, scientist are warning about the rushed and blanket approach. Dr Malone, the inventor of the mRNA method has publicly that the risks, short and long term effects have as yet to still be determined and researched, Dr van den Bosch, the leading virologist in the world has issued the same warning!
My point is that it is discriminatory to select certain customers according to criteria which the bank insists is acceptable and promise a reward. That this type of advertising on an app is not acceptable to all the customers and partially false advertising. Rather reduce banking fees and so called "penalties"!
Rather ensure the advertising on the banking app is appropriate and honest, that the public promise is truthful like interest rates, pre-approved amounts, ect.
