Bad communication and support

Once again, more or less the same time of the year, my online purchases have been disabled. I have not received any notifications form Capitec why or that it has been done. This is normally a problem, that the online purchase limit has been reset to 0, and unless you are prepared to use the mobile app (I use a ****le for security reasons), you are unable to change this. No calls to support, Whatapp or the branch can assist. I sat at the branch, where 20 people were assisted in the time they could not assist me, being told it is available on the web login, where i logged in with the staff to show it is not available, treated as an idiot - i am in the it industry and as i said - this is a reset which people who use ****les - are experiencing. I am looking at changing banks. I have always been happy with Capitec. But no communications when you do reset this? or the bad support- you get on ALL channels - is very frustrating. I was told to wait two to three days to see if it has been fixed? Really? The bank makes changes, do not notify me, and then???

Thank you. I am not holding my breath. Quick to change a setting on my account, but slow to correct whatever was done? How would you feel if it took days to pay your salary or that you do not have access to use the money you have earned? This is an Account setting - so all my cards have been affected.

I received an email at 13:11, stating that i will be called in two hours to discuss and resolve the issue. It is now 16:14 and i have not received any calls from Capitec. I have however received other calls - so my cell is working fine.
