South African struggling to link a card because FNB has frozen my account

I can't be the only one with this problem. 

 

I have an FNB account. I just don't use it because I owed some money and now my Capitec is my main source. Only to find that all the dollars I have been paid for my online work can only be paid to my bank account if I link through an FNB account.

 

FNB won't let me open a new one and I don't have the funds needed to unfreeze the account for linking with Paypal. 

 

Please help me.

Yes, there actually is. You just have to be very, very lucky and get the right FNB bank teller on the right day and convince them to open another account for you to be able to access the online banking where you can link your PayPal from. I was super lucky and got a nice lady who agreed to open an easy account for me and now I can get online and that's all I use the FNB for. Just go in and look very sad and desperate. It took me about three or four visit to the bank but eventually, someone cracked lol.
