Linking a South African Bank Account – Verification still pending

[AlMagg1]

Hello! 

I live in South Africa and I'm trying to transfer the money in my PayPal account to my SA bank account. I have already created an online profile with FNB. They've verified all my documents and I've undertaken the steps to link my FNB online profile to my Nedbank account.

Although I was notified that the linking of my accounts was successful, I am still unable to transfer money between the accounts. 

When I log on to FNB and attempt to transfer my funds to my Nedbank account, it still reads "verification pending". The verification process is only supposed to take 24 hours and I've tried with two different accounts but no luck. 

FNB informed me that everything is good on my side and I should contact PayPal. Tried calling. Ended up here. 

Has anyone else had the same experience? PLEASE HELP. I really need to access these funds.

I'm having exactly the same problem - my card and Paypal are both verified, but my Standard Bank account still has "verification pending" next to it. Has anyone found a solution?

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to link PayPal to my Nedbank account. I had to start an FNB account to transfer funds between my PayPal and main Nedbank account.
