The Number formerly known as a client

Why do we still use a bank? <br> I currently feel like a ***. I am milked for the financial gain of ABSA bank.<br> <br> I have banked with ABSA since they were UNITED and Volkskas. I still have my Denim savings card somewhere.<br> <br> In June 2015 I went to ABSA to open a business bank account in their White River branch. Due to work schedules I only have Saturdays to do this. ABSA White River does not serve business customers we were told.<br> <br> The complaint on HelloPeter also did nothing. The consultant told to open my account gave us attitute. I then app**** for a Card Machine through ABSA because they had made a deal with the Casterbridge centre for better rates and a total waiver of the installation fee.<br> <br> I was told to pay R1500 to have my Card Machine installed (The same fee that was waivered for Casterbridge tenants).<br> <br> Today is the 23rd of July (We opened the account on 24 June) and we still have no access to the account of the money that we have religiously banked into this account since opening the account. I cannot get a card for this account nor can I link this account to my online portfolio.<br> <br> Upon my query to the bank I was told they will get back to me. I am still waiting.
