Lack of skill to update FICA info

Not too long ago I wrote a review about trying to change my address with FNB and it taking over 2 years to achieve. In that process I was told I have to be Fica'd again. Please note this is for a business and the documentation required is quite extensive. I submitted all the documentation for the change of address and was even told by the person dealing with my enquiry that she has never encountered a person complaining so much about not being able to change my address. It was apparently "abnormal". Well this abnormal person once again, just about 6 months later are receiving requests to update my Fica info. I have phoned, left messages, phoned again, got the wrong reference numbers and phoned again. First I was told the lady responsible will phone me back, that never happened, then I was told, no no info is required my info is up to date and the reference number is the date and time and I will be removed from the FICA e-mails. I once again got Fica requests and phoned again as I see my info is still wrong. I submitted the form and was told it will be updated, this time I was given a reference number. All this was done 6 months ago, yet again it is wrong. Something is seriously wrong at FNB.

So this is the outcome. They now changed my address but also changed that the postal code is now 2194 Johannesburg, My postal code has just been changed. The Trust name still has double Trust at the end. That such basic changes can be so difficult is incredible. Something is very wrong in corporates, what can it be?

So the outcome. A very nice lady tried to assist, but after she assured me all was updated, I once again received a Fica e-mail saying my info is outdated and then a couple of days later a KYC request saying my latest deed info and letter of authority is not on the system. I have counted 33 e-mails in the last 4 years where I have changed the same info over and over again. 33, let that sink in. 4 years and my info is not correct according to them on their system. I was told this morning on the phone them that my Deed is not updated on their document management system. I have sent this nearly 6 or 7 times. There are no changes to the Trust since 2020.
