Worse experience from a bank in years - took me into the 3rd week to open a business account

sdf'lkgjdfl;kgj#$%#$%ERGEFg

Where to start. One of the most frustrating 3 weeks of my live. I opened a company I got a contract. Only thing needed was a business account. I employed 12 guys and they were waiting for the account. According to FNB it takes 3 days to open an account. I app**** online and they send a email to send documents. In the email they gave me the wrong email address. I phone 3 days relater to get an update. Then they told me it was the wrong email address and I must email the docs again and wait another 3 days. After day 1 I phone to check that all docs have been received and they confirmed. After 3 day I phone again just to be told I have another 2 forms outstanding. Then I started phoning every day which took 10-15min every day. So this all started on the 16th. Today is the 28 th and the account is open. I ask for a confirmation letter and they tell me to wait another 24 hours.

You call this service. I think its pathetic and would never ever ever recommend you to anybody.

Reviewer Update
Thank you for the email. One of your representatives phoned me at 12:58 today and apologized profusely. He ensured me that that is not the kind of service that FNB wants to give. He promised me that he took action and the my confirmation will be mailed in the next 10 minutes. I told him that i don't believe it and that seeing is believing. Its allready 25min later and i haven't received anything. Why am i not surprised. Maybe i should send you a bill for all my calls and time wasted? At least 15 and each took an ave of 10min.
