African Bank - Serious concern for clients and SA

App**** online, no response after 24hours, eventually phoned AB! The lady told me that my application had been suspended, reason, the African Bank system has sent it to the wrong department!!!! How on earth in this day in age does a system send personal documents to wrong departments. After numerous calls I was promised that AB will phone me back, sadly another 24hours no word from African Bank.

From my dealings with the bank and complaints on this site it is clear that there are numerous system problems, and inefficient leadership, makes one wonder what the governance is like, how secure the IT systems are.

One wonder how all of this will be viewed by ratings agencies and regulators eventually.
