Loyalty is not worth it

I have a personal loan, bond, credit card, Cheque account, overdraft and savings account with Absa. I have been banking with absa circa 25 years. I had a mild heart attack as per the cardiologist and his reports in November last year. I put in a claim in January this year. My claim was declined and thereafter I followed the internal process that thy have before going to the Ombudsman. The last step was to send an email to their complaints department which I did. I called them last month to follow-up and was told that it still within the 45 days turnaround time. Now it's over the 45 days and still no feedback. I called back last week and was told that they will get the complaints department to call me and provide feedback however to date I have not received a call or feedback. Treating a customer of circa 25 years in this manner tells me that I should move all my accounts away from them especially knowing what I have been through. Please check your policies with them and ask questions because when it comes to claiming they will look at everything not pay you.

Reviewer Update
Feedback received however didn't receive what was promised to me telephonically. I just received my contract and terms and conditions. Requested for assistance to move all my banking business to FNB seeing that they approved my exact same claim for 1 of my accounts I have with them. Will be changing my bank after 25 years. Absa just lost a loyal customer. Asked Absa for assistance and as usual they didn't respond as yet.
