Frustrating Experience with FNB Business Account Process

I recently opened a business account with FNB and want to warn fellow business clients about the tedious process they put you through. Before FNB answers any of your questions, they require you to verify your device by making a R301 payment from your new business account (no internal transfers allowed). This feels unnecessary, and the real frustration comes from the waiting period—FNB takes up to 7 days to complete this verification. During this time, they won’t assist with any account-related questions, and you're forced to visit the bank in person to resolve anything.

This process is inconvenient and time-consuming, especially for busy business owners. If you're considering opening a business account with FNB, be prepared for these delays and plan accordingly.
