Since this was taking too long i went to a branch yesterday and they told me i have no active accounts yet i couldn't apply for an account online, then a lady called and assisted me with opening an account and my spouse opened an account linked to mine, the biggest problem now is that she can link her account on the app and i cannot!, i have sent money to my new account and i got sms notification that the money is now on the account BUT i cannot link to the app as it throws an exception cannot find the account!
