Fraud and FNB not giving my money back.
Fraudsters steeling my money and I am told they will investigate but no confirmation I will get my money back.. I was informed saying someone told me to go into my app and do transactions... this happened after someone moved money from my one account into another to make me think the money was gone... how did they even get in.. no the consultant tells me 30 days investigatiin and when I ask for commitment to get my money back she says I must not get so upset.. I have the right to be upset as this should not be possible... when the incestigator tells me to go to my app it is fine but when someone from frauds dept says so it is not... how must we know who at FNB is scamming us ..

I am still outstanding with R7555.30 and I want my miney back FNB I did not use it ...I need it I have responsibilities.
You are suppose to protect me....or must I also put my money under a matress ..?

Terrible experience...calling via the banking app and they pretend to not hear you...call via straight phone call and thy redirect you until your airtime is finished without a problem even being looked at...absolutely nonsense

Wait till one of your loved ones die then you will see FNBs true colours, insurances in place with the same institution but they still put 2 different attorneys on your back to harass you weekly and then they only finalize matters 1.5 years later, the worst one can think off!!!!

FNB Burgundy square is beyond useless. The 2 teller desks looks like they asleep! Useless! Came to get my card, printer for ticket not working. Called the manager, too 30 minutes, she is useless. Worst bank ever! I am going to also linked message the CEO

I use to love this bank truly even convinced people it was good when they would argue the bank charges are high I question that strongly now and I am considering changing banks. It’s not the first time money disappeared out of my account I try get help but no one helps all the agents can’t answer me. I hate this bank honestly you chat and phone for assistance you wasting your time don’t.

Thabo from FNB Kempton Square branch is very friendly and I got the proper assistance I needed

I have been trying to open a business bank account for a new business account. Process started on around the 22 February 2026 it is now 23rd March 2026. It has been a terrible experience just trying to locate a business banker to assist, then the gentleman who opened the account cannot be reached. He placed 2 blocks on the account which stopped all other consultants from assisting me. This is my first tme dealing with FNB and wow you guys are lagging in comparison to the other banks. Kindly sort out the customer's experience, your internal processes should not affect your customer. Thank you

I had an excellent experience with FNB, thanks to one of their consultants, Ronald Nkanyani from the business desk.

I recently made a payment using the wrong reference, which is always stressful because you’re not sure how long it will take to fix or if you’ll even get proper assistance. From the moment Ronald assisted me, he was calm, patient, and extremely professional.

What really stood out was how quickly and efficiently he handled the reversal. There was no back and forth, no confusion just clear communication and immediate action.

As someone who works in the banking industry myself, I understand how frustrating these situations can be for customers and how much of a difference it makes when someone genuinely knows what they’re doing. Ronald delivered exactly that.

This is the kind of service that keeps customers loyal. FNB, please recognise him he is doing an outstanding job.

I was in the bank to report that my husband had passed away. Our will and testament was at the branch a lady helped us but got NO RESPONCE from the bank for the will and testament side a week later we phoned and spoke to a very friendly man and he said that the branch had not submitted any documents. He told us what we must submit and the same day received confirmation the they had received our request, next day been Friday I received the ref no. Today a lovely lady named Vanessa phone and explained all the steps.
To get to the point a whole week was wasted because of the Wellington branches incompetence

eBucks Boost My Rewards Program is an absolute S C A M. There are a few criteria one needs to meet each month in order to qualify, so that after a year, you get a R1500 eBucks payout.

I have met these requirements every month and received my payout every year without fail. This is the only real benefit or reward one can get from FNB, so I always consciously make sure to meet the requirements so that I can benefit from it and actually get my money's worth out of being an FNB client.

This month FNB is telling me I did not meet the requirements, particularly the one for minimum R5000 card spend. I am looking at my transactions for the month in question, where I have spent almost double that. When I pinpointed this to them, they are telling me it doesn't matter which day I physically did the transactions on, because it will only count towards the month that the merchants cashes it for. So basically even though I far exceeded the minimum criteria, I now lose out on the reward because of the dates that the merchants choose to do their banking. Is the agreement for rewards between the bank and the merchant? No. It is between me and the bank. So why should my only reward as a long standing client now be affected by how the merchant chooses to do things?

I asked the eBucks consultant Farhaan if they are going to make a plan for me to still qualify for that month in question because it's absolutely heartbreaking for me to lose out on the entire year's reward program when I've worked so hard towards it and have always been consistent, now I lose out just because of one month that the merchant decided to do things in their own time. The consultant told me they won't be able to do that for me. I guess they don't give a D A M N how long you've been their client, how much you spend with them, how many products of theirs you've signed up for, they still will not budge.

So if you're thinking of signing up with FNB because their rewards sound so juicy on paper (like I foolishly did) don't waste your time. It is a gamble and is being wildly misadvertised and misrepresented. Their rewards are not guaranteed no matter how much effort you as a client put towards meeting the requirements, they will deny you because of third party merchants whose banking dates can change and differ anytime which literally has nothing to do with you. I won't be surprised if FNB makes an arrangement with these merchants to cash things out at a later date just so that they can avoid paying out these eBucks rewards to clients. Imagine how many hundreds of thousands they are pocketing like that.

Very D I S H O N E S T and S C A M M Y. And so disappointing coming from a whole financial institution. These are the people you are trusting with your hard-earned cash. Better to move to a different bank where sure, your fees might be a rand or two more but atleast with those institutions, what you see is what you get. Not like FNB who will find any avenue to avoid giving clients their rewards.

Tokai branch closed for renovations so went to Plumstead. The queues were long with at least an hour and a half wait time, however the ladies helping with the internet issues got me, and the other lady helping the people queuing were fantastic! One lady rven brought out glasses of water for the customers as the weather today was over 30c. In spite of the wait time, the service was excellent, and I say well done, especially in this heat.

What a terrible experience with crystal the lady who welcomes people to the bank. Please send her for training she is rude and arrogant and not willing to help. She thinks she knows it all pathetic really. Please do something about her.

If you value your time and honesty in banking, do not open an FNB Business account. My experience has been defined by two things: dishonest sales tactics and an utter lack of functional support.

I was specifically promised SLOW Lounge access by an agent, only to be charged for it later. When I tried to hold them to their word, I hit a brick wall. FNB refuses to produce the call recordings and their staff continuously "drop" calls when asked for an escalation.

As a Discovery Bank client for my personal portfolio, the move to FNB felt like stepping 20 years back in time. Their systems are archaic and their "service" is a black hole of wasted hours. I’ve spent two hours on the phone getting nowhere.

Save yourself the pain and the hidden costs. FNB Business is not designed for the modern entrepreneur. I’m moving my business elsewhere.

I have been trying to verify my new credit card which took around 2 hrs due the fact that it cannot be activated via the app, due to being put through to the wrong person and due to long waiting times on the phone because of insufficent staffing.
I have a second credit card with Investec and it is a consumer- friendly, easy and efficient procedure with them.
FNB never fails to disappoint !! I dread phoning them as nothing ever goes smoothly. My advice - try a different bank !

I have been trying to get a loan against a house i own .... I have gone to 2 banks no one can assist , they dont listen to what I have to say and then make assumptions, I am then told to take a specific route once I take that route , its a dead end , no help for 10 years I have been A customer I am now fed up and I will be closing my account tomorrow . Dont join them , they are 0 help , customer service means nothing to them .

Trying to ewallet your last R50 to yourself for food? Don't because they won't send you a OTP.

This means that you will have to reverse the ewallet transaction, guess what, R20 fee for their own system not working?

FNB, you have caused me to go hungry because you are fraud.

I will spread my story, that FNB takes poor peoples last money and not giving them correct service.

Useless, tried to make an overseas payment, i sent the additional documents they requested. Because they didnt do their job, the transaction cancelled, and i got charged. I emailed them the documents and they yert to send a respond that the received it. This bank is a joke.

The lack of communication and customer support.
I feel they are quite arrogant in the way they manage (or not as the case may be) client accounts.
Under no circumstances would I suggest anyone uses FNB.

My cost of banking has suddenly doubled. The monthly charge increased as usual, but suddenly I'm charged on transaction level as well. FNB has so much money, they sponsor events left right and center, good grief, they even sponsor the xray trays at the airports! Why does the consumer have to cough up more than CPI?

They failed me while I need them, someone scammed me on the app but they couldn’t track the guy.
