“It's terrible. It's been 2 years now since I chose to bank with NEDBANK but unfortunetaly their services are extraodinarily atrocious. Mhm! Nedbank has made me question myself. They bloceked my account out of the blue , when I called the free toll number 0800 555 111 where I spoke to a lady and she checked the account and she said the reason for blocking the account was because my account needed to be verified , FICA. I just opned the account a month ago? Huh. Keep in mind that I had my previous account blocked and did FICA multiple times but the account never opened they said it was hold. What?! NEDBANK has done it again. I think I will FNB and see how far it goes. But NEDBANK, yoh! I wash my hands shem.”
“I invested $65k with Pocket Option, and they refused to release my deposit and profit, then was asked to verify my address which I did, 2 weeks down the line, I didn't get my money. I kindly ask anyone who reads this review not to invest on this platform. I was able to recover my money by getting in touch with mustangggrc@ gmail. com. They are highly recommended by me. They helped me recover my lost fund which was taken from me by those frauds.”
“After 3 references to cancel Nedbank CONTINUES to deduct monthly GB Linkage fees for their greenbacks loyalty program. Please be aware that there is a GB Linkage fee for a card on this so called loyalty program.It proves to be very very difficult to cancel this monthly hidden deduction”
“So pleased Nedbank is not my primary bank - had money deposited on 22 November from overseas - still not found its way to my bank account - 6 phone calls later - messages via FB a trip to Nedbank Greenstone where Kate could not help me and gave me a toll number - email to customer service to lay a complaint and still no joy - Nedbank you must be seriously struggling if your only option is to hang onto people's deposits and earn the interest that is meant to be theirs - eternally grateful that you are just a drop in the ocean when it comes to banking choices and you are still def not my first choice - pathetic”
“At Nedbank Edenvale branch. Just want to do an account query.... I've been told to sit and wait. Branch is quiet, I see 5 staff at their desks, only 1 is actually attending to a customer. The rest just look like they trying to look busy. In the 15min I've been sitting here, 5 more customers have walked in and told to sit and wait. Staff still pretending to be "busy"”
“Worst service. Just to open a bank account which I ended up not opening took 2months back and forth from one person to another. I even deposited money but to return that it’s taking another time on its own.”
“I really would advise other clients not to open an insurance with you guys, I made a claim on Monday nothing has been processed, it’s Wednesday and Friday iam burying father, no payment or communication has been made, maybe taking the coffin to the branch will definitely help.”
“A constant fight to release money. Call after call month after month. Worst service ever and nothing gets done I do not even want to give them a 1 star but there is no option for zero star rating.”
“Made me lose the will to live. Claimed my account was "inactive" and "dormant" despite regular transactions.
Spent months spamming me with threats to restrict my account for no reason.
After 4 months of emails with incompetent, clueless fools, I gave up.
When I had a chance, went into a branch, waited 3 hours to be seen, and asked what the problem was, they said no problem your account is active.
Within 5 hours of leaving the branch I got a text saying....wait for it .... that my account was dormant and inactive.
Jirre help asb vir Nedbank, ek kannie meer nie!”
“Request to Close Account Due to Unacceptable Treatment
Dear Nedbank Customer Service,
I am writing to express my extreme disappointment and frustration with the treatment I have received from my bankers at Nedbank. Despite being a loyal customer for over a decade, I have been subjected to unacceptable service, culminating in the suspension of my account.
On October 16th, I received an SMS stating that my accounts would be restricted. I promptly visited the Nedbank Viking branch with all required documents, and staff confirmed everything was in order. However, on October 25th, I discovered my personal account was blocked, leaving me shocked and inconvenienced.
This is not the first instance of poor service, but it is the final straw. I will no longer tolerate being treated like a secondary citizen by an institution I have entrusted with my finances.
I demand that you take immediate action to:
1. Close my account effective immediately.
2. Provide a full refund of any fees incurred during this period.
3. Ensure a seamless transfer of my funds to a new bank of my choice.
I expect a prompt response regarding the actions taken to address my concerns.

“They used to be one of the best (and most expensive I might add) banks in South Africa. But like everything in South Africa, they have deteriorated to inefficient and zero customer service. Waiting for more than a year to get a replacement card, waiting for a year for them to finalise a power of attorney. Struggling for more than two weeks to open a normal savings account. There should be a zero start option.”
“Is the phone number of Nedbank Real? I tried to call Nedbank today but the number kept on saying “ can not reach or number do not exist”. In the end I made an international call to another number from the Nedbank website, then I spent hours talking to different people and received no help. This is terrible.”

“What a useless so called bank, it took them ages to give me my cards after opening an account, no notifications, nothing, when it was finally available it was in a wrong branch, when I went to fetch it it was no.longer there it was sent where I requested it to be sent to. Of you visit their branches, you wait for hours by the door unattended, then an unprofessional rude person finally shows up with no help, i regret ever opening an account with these ones. There is fraud taking place in my account, they simple can't help.”
“We had an 11h00 appointment to get forex. At 11h15 ignored until 11h30. Told us the appointment was mixed up. We had to ask no one kept us updated. Staff very in professional. Was told the person we have an appointment with is in lunch. Having personal conversations in front of customers. Seems like sitting in a spaza shop. Now 11h40 still not assisted 🙈”
“Nonesense, the people don't know how to help me. I called in to change my debit order date, I was sent from pillar to post transferring my call literally more than ten times to the "rightful person".. it's like if someone doesn't know how to assist me, they will just transfer me to restart the call.”
“Terribly slow an no sense of urgency from the Nedbank tongaat branch. We have people typing with one finger here. The design of this place sucks it looks cheap an stupid in my eyes the designer clearly got paid for nothing. Everything is skew an stupid to the eyes. Plants coming out of cubicles. Employ people that can get the job done here not someone that is hard at understanding”
“Nedbank campus Square in Johannesburg offering unprofessional service. People queue with only one teller and one consultant. Their service is disgusting.”
