Unauthorised Transaction

An unauthorised online transaction went off my account on the 26th. When I called to report it I was informed to only call back once it has been processed which I did on the 28th.

It was logged and till this day no feedback has been provided, R1000 is alot of money to just go missing especially when I never authorised that transaction. I really need my money please!

African Bank – Unacceptable Delay & Poor Service on Unauthorised Transaction
I am extremely disappointed with African Bank’s handling of an unauthorised transaction on my account, which was reported over two months ago and is still unresolved.
Two months later, I have received no proactive communication, no clear feedback, and no resolution. I am forced to follow up using my own airtime, only to be placed on hold for long periods and, in many cases, have the call cut off before I can be assisted. This is incredibly frustrating and unacceptable.
An unauthorised transaction is a serious matter and should be treated with urgency. The lack of communication, excessive delays, and poor customer service fall far below reasonable banking standards.
I am requesting:
  • Immediate feedback on the status of the investigation
  • A clear explanation for the prolonged delay
  • Refund of the unauthorised transaction without further delay
If this matter is not resolved urgently, I will escalate it to the Ombudsman for Banking Services. I expect African Bank to take accountability and resolve this matter as a priority.
