Pathetic
African Bank placed a hold on my accounts, apparently due to suspected *****. I have been trying for 4 days to get them to unblock my accounts. Customer service says the forensic department will phone me but no one phones me I do not have access to my own money!!! I see many people complain about that, and African Bank simply ignores my emails, the customer care line says they can do nothing about the problem. I am heading to the Ombudsman for Banks.

04 Jun 2023, 09:29I received a call from Mojaji from their social media office. He was very kind, but yet again could only say that he will escalate the issue to the forensic department, and he will revert back to me within 24 hours. Although he was kind, kindness does not give me access to my account and my money. Let us see if I will be assisted tomorrow. I am very concerned about my money being in an investment at African Bank!

04 Jun 2023, 09:35I think there is a huge problem with African Bank's forensic Department. If you look at the reviews, it seems that Department makes a habit of wrongly placing cluent's accounts on hold and then simply does not act on the emails within the bank to sort out the challenge. Mayb management of African Bank should investigate their own forensic department for suspected ***** or incompetence

05 Jun 2023, 09:52So I made more than 10 calls today. Every consultant simply transfets to the next
Eventually I was given an alleged direct nr of forensics
If you phone that nr, and you dont have the name of the agent or the extention number, you press zero and then the call is ended
Today I am told that forensics cannot get hold of me
That is simply a lie!!
What now African Bank?

05 Jun 2023, 13:26Your response is a blatant lie! Minutes ago you however opened my accounts again while I was in a branch that sent you a SECOND email today to undue your mistake. Your lack of service especially by your forensic department is appaling and should be addressed by ways of disciplany steps. How on earth could they have suspected ***** if African Bank transferred the funds from one account with African Bank to anothet account with African Bank??
