I reported bullying and very poor service and repeated online hang ups , to Fnb on nultiple occasions on secure chat. I ts a very common bullying stratehy there. I reported several advisors:Buyiswe, Junior, Lebohang , Tebellious. Tyrone, Ntombizodwa in December and Philani last night.
A Jonathan Juggan called to investigate but was not really interesed. Its more time wasting. These advisors are rude , impatient, unhelpful and make yiou wait bet 1 and 4.5hrs on secure chat by just saying i will be with you shortly every 5 minutes and dropping call ever 45 mins without helping at all. When I reported iit in Decenber and again now the same
consultants deleted my secute chat
history lasting months just to hide the 4
hrs of wasting my time. Jow can we trust such crooks with our money wjen they are so deceptive.
They do this to clients very often. Its even a joke in secure chat among advisors and taught behaviour to new employees. FNB fully endorses it as they know all about it but ignore reports and invrstigations. They blame clients and endorse bullying by consultants. No apology or explainations as its their cultureTheir motto really is " How can we charge you to abuse and bully you while wasting your time."

This is the worst banking experience I have ever had. They make everything unnecessarily difficult. There is very strict rules on the amount of money that can be transferred and how many transfers can be made each month. I have not encountered this with other banks. The only reason I banked with them was for the physician loan and that was a horrible experience characterized by poor communication and unprofessionalism on their part. DO NOT BANK with FNB. You will most certainly regret it. I know I do.

This Bank is terrible in Customer Services, their Teller says what do you want, infested of other Bank says welcome to our Bank how may I help you. Teller was not wearing a name tag, so no one knows who was she. I believe FNB hire all prejudice employees.
'

CAUTION TO FUTURE CUSTOMERS: This bank refused a basic line of credit despite strong collateral and prior history. No transparency, no discussion, no advocacy. IF THEY CAN'T HANDLE A LOW-RISK, STRAIGHTFORWARD RENEWAL, IMAGINE HOW THEY'LL TREAT YOU WHEN THINGS ACTUALLY MATTER. If you think this is a better alternative to our IN Bank take over you will be terribly disapointed, it is a board of CPA's and corporate officials who look at only numbers and not the integrity of the company or individuals running it. Thank You Scott Johnson, (42 years in buisness)

Shut my debit card off on Christmas (PLENTY)
of money in my account ...but while it was shut off they did manage to take their services charch out ......getting my money out and changing banks I suggest you do the same

Good so far! I find they respond to inquiries and have not had an issue whatsoever akin to the reviews on here so far; they had the best mortgage rates and seem good for the past few years.

My experience at the Uvalde branch was great. Associate Maribel was very helpful and very friendly with excellent customer service.

Omg, I don't even know where to begin. This has been an atrocious experience right from the start.
1. It took them 1 hour + just to open an account. And I still had to complete more documentation and go back to send them! I’ve frankly never been assigned homework by my bank before.
2. This would have all been fine if it was sufficient, but it wasn't. They were 100% able to process an incoming transaction into the account, but even after 3 attempts to send money out through Zelle to my other bank account (Chase), I was blocked, stating "difficulty verifying my identity", and no other explanations given. How FNB was unable to verify my identity after I provided my ID number AND my SSN, when these have been sufficient for previous banks I’ve had accounts with, I will never understand.
3. The customer service is absolute hell. Please save your breath and energy and just take your money to another bank. It took 2 weeks of calling, trying to get through to somebody to get support. Each time the phone lines were either busy for hours on end, or bounced me through AI assistants. I've managed to have 2 calls with them so far, and it's been awful. On the first call I was promised that the issue has been escalated and the funds will transfer out in 2 business days. The pending transaction didn't even show up on my account until I followed up with an email stating I'm fully prepared to leave negative reviews and escalate the issue. It then stated that the pending transaction should be sent out to my other account in 3 business days. It has not. My other bank has no knowledge of this transaction, and the money is simply gone. The customer service person I called today was extremely rude, talked over me all the time, cut me off by saying "ma'am, ma'am" all the time, dismissed my concerns, acted all nonchalant to the point that it was absolutely infuriating, and insisted that I login to the website instead of the app just to show the transaction as sent when it wasn't, since the money, I reiterate, is not in my other account. He was 100% more committed to being proven right than to actually helping. It has been the most frustrating experience of my life.
4. Finally, when I sent the email expressing commitment to escalate the issue, I got an email and call from the branch I worked with stating that "they have a different recollection of the issue" and they wanted me to call back or come in person to clarify. Frankly, the fact that they are more committed to protecting their ratings should tell you everything you need to know.

TL/DR: Awful, still don't have my money, save your sanity and your money and DON’T do business with them.

Shout out to FNB Bank Skukuza branch in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. I had a an issue with my account and it took 4 different FNB branches to get the issue resolved. The staff and Management at the Skukuza branch were outstanding. Their kindness, dedication and communication were exemplary. I have never had such service from any bank or branch. All the other branches I sought help from were all very nice and very helpful but Skukuza got to the bottom of the issue. Thank you to this team. Incredible service!

Seriously disappointed with their lack of service. I am in Spain and after several unanswered emails sent my cousin with an Authorised letter to establish whether they had a received a payment that I made. She went to the FNB branch in Liberty Promenade Mall in Mitchell's Plain. Firstly they told her that it was not possible for me to make transfers from Spain. Something I have been doing for the last 18 years. Transferring Euros to FNB. She also showed them a copy of their letter with FNB Account Number and swift code.
Despite having all the information and proper authority to act on my behalf they refused to help her.
They physically prevented her from reentering the bank when she had me on the phone.
They don't answer emails, they don't answer the telephone.
Unbelievable and disgusting the way she was treated by so called professionals.

So on the 30th of September 2024 I did an EFT from my FNB account to a Capitec account doing an immediate payment to date the funds have still not been received by the recipient. I went to the branch and I was promised after talking to an agent that within 48 hours the funds would be in the recipients account to date the funds have still not been received. FNB sends emails lying that they tried calling me to give me an update well at this point I just want my money and no more lie you should be ashamed of yourselves. Sies man and I'm not going to just let it go this is money that I worked hard for. Imagine sending me to the branch branch calls the call centre all this back and forth for money I worked hard for you should be ashamed and please note I will not let this go. And the nerve today you sent people to my work place to help people open up accounts with you I made sure everyone knew about your rubbish scamming that you do and fortunately no-one opened any accounts thank goodness

If I could give this “second chance” bank zero stars, I definitely would. They are crooked and dishonest. If you check your account and for instance you may have $10 in there. It stays in there for a week. In the meantime you get an auto pay for $1.00, the bank THEN at that time deducts the original charge and your balance is then at 0. Then, you will have 2 NSF charges of $34 because they switch dates around to fit their agenda. Steer clear of this bank! They will never take the NSF fees off no matter what, even if the issues were THEIR FAULT!

its going good so far... I'm waiting on my money now..

This bank charged me overdraft fees even though i have direct deposit that posted the same day. Even if it is their mistake, they will not refund the overdraft fees. This has occurred several times. The bank app and web page does not give accurate up-to-date information. I have discontinued service with this Bank.
