Concerns Regarding FNB KYC Requests on WesBank Client Information

Wesbank, here we go again. I have received an email from *** requesting that I update my banking and personal details and reply to *** (although I do not bank with FNB). I contacted FNB at ***. It appears that FNB is reviewing WesBank’s client information to ensure FICA compliance and is requesting feedback with great urgency.

I then called WesBank at ***2 to confirm whether FNB’s requests are legitimate and whether I can safely provide my details to FNB. I spoke to several agents, but each one transferred me to another line. Each transfer required me to re-enter my ID number, WesBank account number, and authenticate via an approval, yet I received no assistance.

I therefore request that WesBank contact me directly to provide feedback on this issue, as my attempts to obtain clarity by reaching out to WesBank have not been successful.

Reviewer Update
WesBank, I have escalated my matter to *** yet you still have not responded. You are failing to provide clarity whether or not FNB is conducting FICA checks on your client information. If this is not resolved promptly, the matter will be escalated.
