Missing payment to FNB

I did a payment from my Discovery Bank account on the 24th of December 2024 to my FNB Credit card account. Unfortunately I used the incorrect account number for my FNB credit card account. I have been on about 10 calls per bank, notifying them of the situation and following up. The incorrect bank account number that was used does not exist (as per my fnb follow up call) but the money never bounced back. If I didn't follow up with each bank, I would not hear from them. Discovery blames FNB and FNB blames Discovery. How can money just disappear? There are numerous procedures and services in place for situations like this. It's the 30th of January 2025, more than a month and there is no resolution, no urgency? A lot of money is just in the air and I have been patient, but I have officially run out of being nice and understanding. This is an extremely frustrating situation and nobody seems to want to make effort to search for the money. I can't keep liaising between banks, are they not suppose to communicate with each other while investigating this case? This is extremely poor and unprofessional.

Hello,
Still no communication from FNB and Discovery. I will be handing this case over to the ombudsman.

Hi,
The below email was sent from Discovery Bank regarding FNB bank on Tuesday, 18 February at 08:48:
" Good day Verushka I trust this email finds you well. Please note that we are still awaiting feedback from FNB. We have sent another follow-up on the case and will revert as soon as we receive feedback. "

FNB, once again you guys are not communicating with each other. I have handed you over to NFO (National Financial Ombud Scheme)
