Extremely poor client service and communication

I recently bought a voucher from my African Bank account via internet banking. By mistake i selected my old cell no. However when purchasing a voucher its required to approve the transaction but never received the pop up for approval. A screen then came up saying that the purchase was not successful. I tried again using correct cell no with same result however received the code via sms. I found it odd since the transaction did not go through. When i checked my statement i realised both voucher purchases did in fact go through as the money is out my account. The voucher that i received via sms worked and that is not the issue. The voucher where i entered incorrect cell is now hanging somewhere. I went to purchase history but its only displaying last 4 digits and i can only resend it to the no selected. Now i have logged a query and the help im getting is less then usefull. They just telling me what i already know!!! So why cant they just give me the vouvher no? Or resend it to correct cell no? I mean other banks you are able to see voucher no on the app telling me African banks system is outdated or just not user friendly. NOW PLEASE AFRICAN BANK RECTIFY THIS OR REFUND MY MONEY. Human error occurs and you should have something in place to assist your clients in such cases. Just to add i spoke to a Caroline on your whatsapp chat portal and boy was she helpfull( SARCASTIC). I really think this is by far the worst bank when it comes to client satisfaction!!!!!!!!!!!. So im WAITING for assistance ASAP!!!!!

That is the thing i never used rewards to purchase the reward. It came straight from my account. I went and tried what you have said and its only showing vouchers bought using reward points.

So not sure why i must look for the voucher under audacious rewards when knowing very well the voucher wont be shown there. Now i need to verify myself at the bank which will take time. I mean really i dont see how resolving this could be such a pain staking excercise. Please i need someone from the bank to contact me and tell me where is my query!

So african claims that my query is resolved however it is not. Spoke to an agent that advised voucher oin would be re sent to new no which he/she never did. Now they telling me voucher was redeemed but sending old voucher no. Now my query is closed but not resolved. WhatsApp Image 2025-06-12 at 08.28.17_362a89cb.jpg 97.42 KBSo explain how African Bank can lie to a client just to sort of get the client off their back. I dont think they know how their own system works. So im waiting to see what lie im going to be fed next. Its going for two weeks back and forth no results. So where should i go next to get the answer i need??!!!!!!!
