3? You're lucky, lol. At work I get an average of about 5 a day, from 'banks' such as Nedbank, ABSA and today, for the first time, an FNB one. My home address gets on average 5 from ABSA every 24 hours, even though each time I tell the system to block the sender. So either the blocking command isn't working, or the messages are coming from various overseas servers.

I get a minimum of 3 phishing emails daily at my work address with the subject line iro Nedbank and ABSA.

None recently for Standard Bank or FNB.

Does this mean that those banking with FNB and Standard Bank are more discerning?
