Unfair Blocking of funds!!!

I am extremely upset with FNB Bank and want to share my bad experience. On October 4, 2025, a client sent me a payment of R8,800 into my account. The bank later said this money came from disputed sources, which I had no way of knowing about. They withheld the R8,800, and that's not all – they also froze my other funds, about R230,000, even though those funds were from my own work and had nothing to do with the disputed payment.

This feels very unfair. Why should I be punished for something I cannot control? I did not choose the source of that payment, and I even sent an email to return the funds, but I have not gotten any reply. My account is still blocked, and I cannot access my money, including the R230,000 that is not related to the R8,800. Can someone from FNB explain this to me? What does my other money have to do with a payment I did not even know was from a bad source?

My case number is ***, and you can reach me at +*** if anyone wants to discuss this. I have been waiting for help, but no one has responded. This has caused me a lot of stress and problems in my life.

I strongly advise everyone not to deposit large amounts of money into FNB. They might freeze your account without clear reasons, and you could lose access to your hard-earned money. Stay away from this bank – it's not worth the risk!
