Unresolved complaints ***

I have been fighting for month now since 2007 with African Bank to stop debiting my bank account before 25th as contractually agreed!

This is after numerous call centre and collections agents have been calling me on the 23rd or 24th of each to tell me payment has not been received yet some months the payment actually goes off on the 25th like agreed. Subsequently one of your staff *******ly without my consent decided to change my banking details without my instruction and loading a payment arrangement.

Every month I have additional overdraft charges billed to my current account which still has not been credited back to me even after sending screenshots and bank statements

Sylvester Fraser, If I am not reimbursed by 30 June 2023 I am going to the Banking Ombudsman and National Credit Regulator for my refund including June 2023 and resolution.

We approaching 01 August 2023 and still I have not been refund!!!
To make matters worse your agents think its okay to call me 07:00 and tell me my account is in arrears when on all previous recordings your staff agreed to removing all debits and payment date would me 01st of each month. Even more worse is your management team still hasn't bother to call me back since my previous interactions more than 1 calendar month ago!!!

Instead of "Samantha" calling both my 082 numbers on record which African Bank has been using she opts to call a 3rd party with the audacity to ask me to return her call!!!!

You're behaviour is just down right shocking and disgusting!!!

Poor customer experience and resolution is sure high on African Bank's employees agenda.

And again you debited my account 01 August for a debit order that was supposed to be removed and already paid 28 July already which is again going to send my account into overdraft and incurr additional fees which you still haven't refunded since all my previous complaints!!!! ZERO TELEPHONIC OR EMAIL CONTACT FROM AFRICAN BANK

Your version of calling includes loading my number in an outbound dialler and making me hokd indefinitely for an agent to answer instead of a manager or executive head calling me directly?

Your "Simon" from Collections again failed to return the call as promised like the entire African Bank staff lies and makes empty promises.

To add even more fuel to the burning fire, your organization again debited my account after payment was done via EFT on 28 July 2023 before the agree 01st claimed manual payment captured all previous months...

DISGRUNTLED and DISGUSTED CUSTOMER since 2006/2007

Charlotte (Collections Supervisor) has the full details of my entire fight with African Bank after 30 minutes call, only to be dumped back to Customer Service, Paulina had ZERO CONTEXT of what needed to happen and after starting to explain AGAIN dropped the call after 6 minutes and hasn't bothered to attempt calling back!!!

I'm done with African Bank and closing all accounts you have access to *****ing my money and incurring additional charges.

ZERO DISCIPLINARY ACTION has been taken since January 2022 against the offending staff that continuously lie and never keep their empty promises each month since.

African Bank is not allower any access to any of my bank accounts

Are you intentionally trying to provoke me further with black replies ?

After your clowns have decided that it's okay to give me silent call all day yesterday when I answer???

Clearly you have no intention so I'm formally approaching the National Credit Regulator for resolution after 21 replies and ZERO RESOLUTION OR REFUND
