We highly regret opening a new business account with FNB , they have been working against us all along .

Good day FNB BUSINESS BANKING

We highly regret opening a new business account with FNB , they have been working against us all along . We opened a business account with you hoping that you are efficient, and ethical. Our bank account was opened in May 2020. We had individual clients making payments, This week we had a big client that wanted to pay into our bank account, we provided our client with bank confirmation letter authorized by the bank. Our client asked you if they can pay using our business trading name not official name. You rejected the request and payment and went ahead and place our account on hold ‘under investigation ‘without even letting us know. Your banker went ahead and told our client that it is risky to do business with us, because they are the first client to make large sum into our account, you even told them how much we have in our account that is why it’s risky to do business with us. You gave out confidential information about our bank to an unauthorized signatory ( our client ) is this legal , is this ethical , is this how fnb does business ? In our industry (medical) trust is the currency, you gave our client an idea that we are ********, you are destroying us and we were unaware until now, how many times have you done this to other businesses? In each and every business account there has to be a first payer, first client, isn’t that so? Where do you get the audacity to tell our client confidential information regarding our bank account, what is it that you hoped to achieve? We have lost a client, we have lost a business deal because of you and your bankers, we spoke to Rodney from the ***** division, and he indicated that the business banker that put our account on hold did not even state why they did so. We are very disappointed. In each and every newly opened business account there will be a first payer, no matter amount, after all it’s a business account .

Please sort this out, and the very same business banker that gave our client an idea that we are ********, should also go and tell them that he/she made a mistake. If we loose this deal because they are first client as you told them, we will have to explore other possible channels.

FNB Dishing our confidential information to our clients scaring them away . telling them that its risky to do business with us .. they have then blocked our account and they refuse to tell us why .complaint reff ( ***NF )

below is the information we got from one of our clients , and the fact that we had only one transaction is also false , we can also prove it

''Good Day
Bank said to us that, the account was open in May 2020 and there was no any other payment made to that account except for R500.00 paid in May 2020 ''

this bank doesn't care really , i was told to wait for 24 hours , i did, i was then told to wait for 2-3 business day , the 48 hours , today im being told 10 days , we are expected to fold our arms . no one wants to take responsibility , they are tossing us around , ***** department tells us that they deal with ***** cases , while business banking and customer resolution center tells us that they requested ***** to contact us . they are pushing time us by taking us from pillar to post . this is mess and they know it , someone just don't want to be responsible , Ive been tossed around Melinda , tray and ***** department . no one is coming forward . they look like people who are protecting one of their own even if it means hurting their customers . i guess after waiting for another 10 days ,they will tell us to wait for 15 days . this matter will never be solved and i don't know why they wasting our time
