FNB Black Friday outage

First National Bank (FNB) customers are reporting problems with the bank’s card payment authentication system, which is preventing them from placing orders on Black Friday, 28 November 2025.

The problem may be related to an issue with the FNB mobile app, which intermittently displays a server error message when customers attempt to sign in.

Please FNB, cut your losses and do not participate in Black Friday as it clearly does not work for you!

 

[Gozzy]

Almost like clock work........whenever there's a big event like Black Friday and Payday ........ they can't seem to scale to demand...

Is the former standard bank person working for fnb now?

 

[Apogee]

We should start a betting system with regards to whose system is gonna keel over at month end.

It could be interesting.

"see account issuer" was the error message, FNB is definitely down

Back on the topic as we last discussed, I wonder how many IT departments must now get the tickets "EFT is not working".
