Misallocation of funds

Dear African Bank Customer Support,

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the service I have received regarding a payment made to a stokvel account. Since 03 November, I have been liaising with African Bank to resolve this matter, yet there has been no meaningful progress.

Despite submitting the proof of payment more than ten times, as requested, I have not received any follow-up communication, feedback, or clarity on the status of my query. Each interaction has resulted in the same instruction to resend the proof of payment, with no indication that the matter is being actively investigated or escalated.

This level of service is unacceptable, and I urgently request: 1. Immediate confirmation that my query has been escalated to the appropriate department. 2. A clear update on the current status of the investigation. You have to call in order to check 3. A definitive timeline for the resolution of this matter.

I trust that the bank will treat this issue with the seriousness it deserves and provide prompt feedback.

Hi African Bank,

I have received the same request again to upload proof of payment. I would like to highlight that I already uploaded the proof of payment on 04 November, and a month later I am still being asked to upload it again.

On Monday, your consultant confirmed that the proof of payment was correctly loaded on your system.

Please urgently assist in resolving this, as the repeated requests are causing unnecessary delays and are frustrating on my end

Thank you.

Good day African Bank , kindly note that I have now received the message and I have verified my details by responding with Yes

Kindly note that i am hoping that you will not be sending me a follow up to request for a proof of payment , kindly check on your system , I have sent proof of payment more than a person can be requested to send the proof of payment and I am not hoping that my re allocation will be done to the correct account number and my issue be resolved
