UTTERLY PATHETIC SERVICE FOR BUSINESS ACCOUNT CLIENTS

WORST BANK TO OPEN A BUSINESS ACCOUNT WITH!!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I have had my business account with FNB for about a year now and I have had endless issues with them!

Most recently was 3 days ago when they put my business account on hold because a disgruntled client reported that I “*****ulently” took money that he paid to me for a job. The job was done on New Year’s Eve, the client agreed to pay the extra fee because it was a Sunday and he needed the work done immediately, after getting his job done he reluctantly did a payment to me with a lot of complaints, I told him if he’s not happy I’ll gladly remove the work done and leave, he then calls his bank and tells them that I took his money without providing him with a product🤨.

My bank FNB proceeds to put my account on hold, DOESN’T NOTIFY ME AT ALL, not a call, sms or email!! They allow my other clients money to be paid into the account and now I can’t access the funds to do their jobs!!!

I contact the ***** department and they tell me that an “investigator” will contact me in 7 days😂😂😂😂 until then there’s nothing anyone can do…..WOW!!!!

I asked for a reference number for the call, I received nothing, asked to be put through to a manager, they cut the call on me😂🤣🤣🤣

This is the type of service you can expect from this bank!! Now I know why the lines at CAPITEC are so long, they know how to treat their clients like clients!!!!

So today is the 8th of January 2024, my business account was placed on hold on the 2nd of January 2024.

I have received multiple notifications that my complaints have be “lodged” and that someone will call me back yet I have not received a single call yet.

I’m honestly not understanding what’s going on here, like really, how difficult is it to get someone to ca you back for a service that I pay for?????

I’m switching banks today, I recommend that others do the same as well, don’t wait for fnb to mess you around, move now. This is utterly pathetic.

So….it’s now the 10th of January 2024, 8 whole days since my account was placed on hold…in this time I have sent the FNB investigator and her manager 8 emails, I have received half the help I require. The hold on my account was removed, because I complained on here, but all the money in my account is still “reserved”
WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS???
The reason for my complaint was because I need access to the funds in my account!! This is now becoming more and more like THEFT! My money is being ****** by FNB who is refusing me access to money that belongs to me!!
