FNB Business Banking Service is Terrible

<p>Several weeks ago, I opened a business account with FNB - the account is still not active and I just receive the same correspondence from FNB each time I enquire or try to find out what is happening with the account. They will always get back to me in 2-5 business day - I still have no idea what is happening with the account. Their phone lines are always "experiencing a high number of calls" and I never get through, because who has time to stay on the line for an hour? </p>

Well thanks for the response FNB, but the fact that you have logged a complaint on my behalf is of little comfort to me since I have logged several complaints on my own behalf. Of these several complaints I have received one phone call - this morning. I was promised the moon and the stars and told that my account will be finalised and ready today - another lie from the bank I wanted to use for business and personal banking. Please don't log complaints on my behalf unless someone intends on solving the problem.

And another thing, your Hartbee****rt branch is a place one should only go if one wants to ruin one's day. The staff are very friendly and very helpful, but the fact is that the chances of a person getting helped are scarce, - an elephant is more likely to grow wings and fly to the moon - maybe I exaggerate but I have so much time to think and come up with these metap****s when I wait to get helped at FNB Harbee****rt. There are 8 counters with exactly 2 people (most of the time 1 person) working at a counter. The number machine used to say that estimated waiting time is 5 minutes. - then one day after waiting an hour, one customer yelled at FNB to correlate their machine so that the estimated waiting time is more accurate - one time FNB actually listend to a client, they correlated their machine. The next time I went in, the machine told me I would wait 58 minutes - the machine did not lie.
