Most disappointment in the service received.

I have been banking with FNB for a couple of years now and have asked if I could apply for a credit card. First I was declined, and then I was asked if I could send a paid up letter for an FNB loans that I had taken out years ago.

This was not an issue at all, I sent the paid up letter to email address:

***

This was on the 20th of January 2022. I then phoned their call centre to follow up on my Credit card application on the 21st to hear if they have received my documentation and I was told to resend it to the same email address and to enter my ID number as a reference so that's what I did.

On the 27th of January I was told via email that I need to send the paid up letter to said email address again. Yet again I emailed the paid up letter. This time I copied email address *** in.

Then on Monday the 7th of February I emailed the Outstanding document Department again and copied the FNB card email address in. No response.

I then went to complain on the website regarding this matter and received an SMS stating that my complaint was sent to the Retail Service Recovery Department and that a consultant will be in contact with me within 24-48 business hours.

This was Monday at 10:34 and it is now Thursday 14:36. No one has contacted me.

Very frustrated with the whole situation, just don't understand why they keep on asking me to send documentation that I have sent for the millionth time now.

This is costing me airtime ( I have to keep phoning the call centre to follow up and them I am on hold forever),

I have to keep using data to emails and attachments through.

I need this to be resolved ASAP as I don't have the time or energy to keep following up on this .

Hi

Just got the following reply :

Good Day MRS MICHELLE BRADBURY

Thank you for your email

Please note

The matter has been sent for assistance to open a credit card.
(We are not able to guarantee the qualification on any credit products).
This has come back that you will need to however have to update the information at the nearest open FNB branch along with the relevant documents please.

We do apologize for any issue caused.

Regards.

So I need to take a day off work and take the exact same document that I have emailed four times to my nearest branch.😱😱😱😱

I do not want to sound like a Karen but this is absolutely insane!

No FNB, you can do better than this. I switched over to your bank a couple of years ago because of how amazing your bank is. These so called “customer service “ agents are hurting your brand!

Thanks for not escalating my complaint and for not responding. Speaks volumes about your so called "customer service". Well it is to be expected as we are a third world country. A third world bank for a third world country, very fitting!
