Unacceptably bad service and no support.

Issues with FNB Connect and CARD, ***** services. I've been with FNB connect for some time. I was told that SIM SWAP ***** is not possible with FNB Connect, because FNB takes extra precautions to prevent this. In spite of this, I was a victim of SIM SWAP ***** a few months ago. On top of that my FNB accounts and cards were hacked causing major losses. I'm very sure these were inside jobs. After this the SIM and cards were blocked. For months I have struggled to renew these. I was told I needed to go physically to the bank to replace my SIM card. I have been to the bank 3 times, each time they said they had NO SIM CARDS in stock and I had to go back at a later time. They also told me that they will call me when they have SIM cards in stock, but I have waited for months and not received any calls or another SIM card from FNB. I am disabled in a wheelchair and it is EXTREMELY hard for me to physically visit the branch. I have done this 3 times now, with NO SUCESS! Just trying to get a SIM CARD. Unacceptable.

The biggest issue I have with FNB connect, is that I pay the CONTRACT every month (automatic debit order), but don't receive anything in return because I don't have a SIM card. On top of that it is extremely difficult to be without my primary phone for months on end.

Because my cards were blocked, I was told to apply for new cards on the banking app. After trying several times, I gave up, coming to the conclusion it is not possible to order a new card via the FNB app. Although there are other methods to pay, sometimes a physical is really needed. Please help me to get new cards for myself and my business.

Spoke to Kyla.
Open a new case because the previous case was closed without any resolution.

My phone is still not working. FNB debits my account every month for a phone that I don't have and they refuse to issue me with a SIM card that works.

SIX DAYS LATER. Still waiting. I still don't have a SIM card for the debit that regularly goes through my account. You call that theft.

Thirteen days later. Nothing was done. I still don't have a phone. FNB continues to ***** my money month after month by debiting my account for a SIM that I don't have.

Wow, are you impatient and rude?
I received the SIM yesterday and it was activated today. A few hours later (not even one day) you close the query because ( apparently ) you could not reach me?How did you try to reach me? Which number did you call?
I am a disabled person. I cannot change the SIM in my phone. I need help from an able person to do it.Unfortunately, I do not have servants standing in line at my beck and call. I have to wait until somebody has free time to help me to change the SIM.
I went to the branch (Brooklyn - call them to confirm about the lady in the wheelchair) twice before to resolve this issue, without success. I have struggled MONTHS with FNB to make any progress on this issue.
Now that I have finally received a card that MAY work, you expect me to jump up and down, miraculously leave my wheelchair and attend to your beck and call? So you took several months to do anything at all, but you expect me, a disabled person, to fix everything within a few minutes?
Go to hell!
