awful service

Me and my wife decided to take advantage of new rollout of home affairs rolled out to the banks selected to go and apply for her new smart Id card to move away from old green ID Book

And then decided to go and visit Capitec bank branch in Sandton but when we realise there's a nearby branch in our area of Kempton park suburbs , we realize we can got to Birch Acres Mall one in Tembisa rather than Sandton one

We got greeted with a friendly smile like the one of air hostess by lady called Tshepiso who directed us to kiosk number 09 after telling us the procedure needed to apply for smart Id on our way to kiosk number 09 our worst 'nightmare' was waiting for us ,few metres before we could approach the kiosk 09 we saw from a distance unfriendly face that made us to think maybe we went to the wrong kiosk or something

The gentleman in the name of Dumisane was the one 'manning '' kiosk 09 and he made it clear from the word go that we where not welcomed in the kiosk he was assigned to assist my wife , his face said it all that he was not interested in assisting my wife ,he was unfriendly from start to finish and we had to leave without being helped and we vowed never to set our foot in that Capitec branch and decided my wife will try it in Sandton branch anyway

Me being a frequent flyer most of the time in and out of the country , Capitec bank need to take a leaf out of the flying companies ,there's no way you'll find unfriendly air hostess or flight attendant

Good day, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We sincerely apologise for the poor service you and your wife received at the Birch Acres Mall (Tembisa) branch. This is certainly not the standard of service Capitec strives to provide, and we understand how disappointing and frustrating this must have been—especially when you were there to make use of an important service such as applying for a Smart ID. While we appreciate your recognition of the warm assistance provided by Tshepiso, we are truly concerned about the interaction you described with the consultant assigned to kiosk 09. Unfriendly or unwelcoming behaviour is unacceptable, and we regret that this led to you leaving the branch without being assisted. Please be assured that your feedback is taken very seriously. We have noted the details shared, and this matter will be escalated to the relevant branch and management teams for investigation and corrective action. Coaching and service standards are a priority for us, and feedback such as yours helps us address shortcomings🙏. We regret that this experience caused you to lose confidence in that branch, and we hope your wife will receive the professional and respectful service she deserves at the Sandton branch or any other Capitec branch she chooses to visit. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Should you wish, you are welcome to provide any additional details, and we remain committed to improving our service experience❤️.
