APP Double Payments

I tried making a payment, but the APP sent back a message stating that the transaction has been declined so I tried again. This happened on different 2 transactions.

The money went off my account 3 and 2 times respectively.

What happens to my debit orders now?

The call center could not help. This is a problem with the APP yet the consumer is penalized.

There is an issue with the APP yet discovery bank refuses to take accountability. Now the consumer has to deal with the consequences of the banks *********** APP/IT Team.

Reviewer Update
According to the call center the bank knows about the problem. This still doesnt help me as the money will only be refunded within 7 days. Also 1 call center agent claimed that the money will be refunded by Discovery and the other agent i spoke too said that it cant. Absolutely appalling service from a bank that claims to make banking easier.

Clearly the advertising below is false. there is absolutely zero security using the banking APP.

Hi Rueben

There was an issue this morning which has now been rectified on the bank app.

Our team is currently working on intercepting the EFT transactions that were made so that they can be returned.

I currently do not have a turn around time.

It has been sent through as an escalation.

Regards
Beatrice.

Best regards,
