High Interest Rate Offer by FNB very disappointed

Disappointed with FNB Homeloan, I app**** for a 2nd new homeloan for another property with them while I already have an existing investment property with them which also was not favorable rate but accepted their 11.46% I thought I'm new with them and my business but now 2nd homeloan approved but a rate of 12.16% for repeat business customer while I also have a transactional account with them very disappointing what happens to loyalty customers benefits. After a 3 week rate renegotiate period they only came back today with 12.01% oh no is that reduction only 0.15% drop. Couldn't they match perhaps the existing homeloan rate with them already but funny enough I got a 9.79% rate with another bank for the same investment complex. What a huge gap, is it too difficult to at least do like other banks, another bank gave prime on the dot 10.50%. I have been hearing people rating FNB as best bank but to me not seeing that is the worse high rate bank offer, I have seen twice now. Another bond with other bank gave below prime too 9.50% where do FNB get their calculations that are way out of the range as other banks offers?

Wow πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ this is what is called a business nothing personal. Yesterday I posted the above high interest and yesterday already I received emails with reference from FNB and this morning my bond originator was contacted by FNB asking more information from her. Surprisingly this after at 15:09 she sent me a revised rate of 11% what wow πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘thank FNB for listening and reconsidering my dissatisfaction and lower down the rate...... I am now happy and accepting my second homeloan with FNB with both hands βœ‹οΈπŸ’–and a smile on my face. By all means a transactional account for the debit order is on you.

1st offer: 12.16%
2nd offer: 12.01%
3rd offer: 11.00% πŸ‘ŒπŸ’―

If it is allowed to change rating from 1 unhappy to 5 happy customer I would gladly do so please advise Hellopeter in this regard
