SHOCKING ABSA BANK...

ABSA BANK IS ABSOLUTELY USELESS... Their ***** department is shocking... I have been having my account hacked and money removed for over a year... Everytime I have reported it. The bank has just given me a new card.... I have told them on many occasions that my account has been compromised not my card. After about 5 new cards (2 cards in the month of December 2022)... I am beyond irritated. Now have yet again through the process of getting an affidavit, police report, and a case number. All my money has been taken from my account I cannot even access to draw money from my money builder savings... The ***** department I was told it takes 15 DAYS... for them to review and get my money back.. Which I think is ridiculous.... Please can anyone help to get this process actually sorted out sooner... It's just unbelievable that I hev no access to my money... Does anyone recommend a better bank. Q

Reviewer Update
Here is the follow up from ABSA regarding my accounts etc. I have sent through all necessary documents 3 times already.. Affidavit, case number, and transaction details... I at a loss. I got an email from an agent saying he has taken up the case. I haven't heard from him, he sent an email telling me that he was dealing with my case. I am yet to here further updates. I had a lady who called me, saying she would call back. I attempted to phone her back, but the phone number just goes dead. I need to get hold of someone, but every where I turn I can't seem to contact ABSA. I am forced to wait for them to contact me. I would prefer that I could contact them. At this stage I am without money, without any working accounts. I'm beyond anxious. And worst.. I can't get to my local branch because they close at 3.30pm. I finish work at 4.30pm /5. Please can anyone help me out. Should I accept the loss and close all absa accounts, or what's another option? Please if anyone has has any advice please contact me by replying to this email.
