No Internet Banking For Days

On Thursday my Internet banking, mysteriously, would not allow me to log in! It told me the login is incorrect, so I phoned Capitec and was told that I need to go in to the branch, so I did that.

At the branch, an agent and the branch manager spent 2 HOURS trying to resolve the issue, which mostly involved them talking to the "help desk". The help desk are apparently COMPLETELY USELESS!!! They were unable to resolve the login problem! I left the offices since since I didn't have more time to waste. I was told the the issue would be "escalated".

On Friday I received an e-mail from Capitec saying that they will resolve the issue by next (now this) Thursday, and that I can 'track their progress on WhatsApp'. Well I don't use WhatsApp so I don't know whether or not they are making any progress.

Today I receive a phone call from Capitec's complaints department, presumably due to my branch laying a complaint on my behalf. I was out and not infront of my computer so the agent asked what time he could phone. We agreed on a time but he did not phone me back.

I have no access to Internet banking and Capetic doesn't seem to be able to figure out why.

Someone phoned me and the problem is STILL not resolved!

The problem as has been identified as being with the key ring token generator that Capitec provided to me. When I was in the branch, they wanted to replace but they said they had no stock of these devices and that they would need to get one for me; however Capitec had THE AUDACITY to want to CHARGE ME for a new one! (The one I have now is only a few months old.) You can't provide me with faulty devices AND THEN want to charge me for a new one when *YOUR* DEVICE FAILS!!!!!!

Now I am hearing from the person who phoned me that, apparently, Capitec has "discontinued" it's key ring token generators, but that the agent is trying to find me a new one somewhere.

What now, Capitec? Are you going to DO SOMETHING for a change?

Capitec: The agent who phoned me tried to insinuate that if he cannot find a new key ring token generator for me then I would need to "install your app". Well, as I told him, my phone DOES NOT run apps! He said in that case I wouldn't be able to use Internet banking. Now, if you do not restore my Internet banking access then YOU will be in breach of our contract with each other! (9.1) Please do tell me that your agent (who has still not phoned me back) is misinformed and that you will resolve this matter forthwith!
