FNB THEFT

My account was closed a few months ago.

Unfortunately my employer made an error and paid money into my closed account.

I go onto the FNB app to inquire about it and they ask me to reopen my account and do a minimum EFT of R350.01 to a beneficiary and wait 7 days before they can help me.

So opening an account and making an EFT means I would need to incur banking fees from FNB? How is this not theft?

Ridiculous. Essentially they are now withholding MY money until I pay them.
