I want my money from Capitec.

I am a client of Capitec bank.I have a savings account with them and using the app on my phone.On the 2nd August 2024 during the afternoon I want to use my Capitec App to transfer money to a family member when I realized that there is only 86 cent in my account.I immediately phone Capitec and after about 10 minutes a consultant answer.I explained my problem and was told that a amount was transferred from my account to a Discovery bank account.He asked me if I did it and I answered no.I was shocked when I realized that all the money in my account was gone.He gave me a reference number,blocked my account and suggested that I report it to the Police,what I did.On Monday 5 th August my affidavit and bankstatements were sent to the ***** investigation team.On 15 th August I received a sms that the investigation is still ongoing.About a hour later Capitec informed me by email that they cannot recover my money and that the case was closed.I am unhappy about the whole incident.My money was ****** from Capitec while in their possession.

From 16 August 2024 until today 9 September 2024, I have only received one e-mail from Capitec Bank with regards to my ***** query and a couple of text messages where it states the investigation is still underway. When phoning to query, nobody can give me a definitive answer on what the hold up is. The designated official phoned me to say that they are trying to recover the money from the external bank - Discovery - where my ****** money was transferred to. I want to reiterate that my money was in the possession of Capitec Bank when it was ****** and I keep them responsible for the safekeeping of my money. Therefore I demand that they pay my money back. Up till now I have only received empty promises from Capitec. I am a pensioner and am in desperate need of this problem to be solved.
