Capitec won't protect your money!

Pity I can't give this bank a zero star rating. My wife recently had a lot of money transferred/****** from her account. One of the latest ****s where someone calls you pretending to be from the bank (and yes, the caller ID showed up as Capitec bank). However, at no point was the transfer authorized, there was no OTP or password or any other form of access given to these *****sters by my wife. A simple phone call, that's it! Capitec responded that they couldn't recovered the funds and made it out as if this was an authorized transaction that my wife tried to reverse after the fact. We now fighting with Capitec to pay back the money that they negligently allowed to be transfer out of the account. Please do yourselves a favour, and DO NOT open an account with Capitec. They will NOT protect your money the way a bank should.

So I get a response asking for ID or bank details, to which I rep**** via email with the relevant ID number. After not hearing a thing since that email, I decided to email again for a status update on the case, to which I was again asked for an ID number or banking details.
OH MY WORD!!!!! You guys are absolutely useless. My wife is in the process of moving her money out of your pathetic bank and we are telling everyone we know to avoid Capitec at all costs!

Are you serious!!!??? As discussed telephonically? When was this? Did you just imagine calling perhaps? I really wish I could give Capitec a ZERO out of 5. USELESS!
