Incorrectly informed of fee costs & charged exorbitant deposit fees as a result

A couple of months ago, I opened a business bank account with FNB. My primary need was to have cash deposits included in the fees. I worked with a business banker to set all this up but he did not specify that deposits were only ATM deposits. In none of the correspondence was this stated. I ended up doing cash deposits inside the bank with the teller and I was charged ********** fees. When I tried to contact my banker, he said he app**** for a refund. It is now 6 weeks later and I still don't have my refund. I am so disappointed with FNB right now

Good evening,

We got a call from the personal banker who insists that he sent us the brochure with the details of the account. He actually just sent us a generic brochure to choose an account and throughout our many calls and emails to him, he never specified the deposit types even though the entire reason for the business bank account was for cash deposits. He is refusing responsibility and therefore the refund.

Thanks,
Shameem
