BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE

Discovery I am so disappointed in you. I did an EFT payment to Standard Bank this morning just after 8, just realising that they did not ask me an account number so the payment went through. I called Discovery bank immediately to report it. The lady that helped me just said sorry we cant help you. I must call Standard Bank. I asked for a reference number for the call to at least have proof that I reported it but she said I must call Standard Bank they cannot help me to stop or reverse it. Its R1400 and I am so frustrated about this. What can I do or who can help me to get my money back.

Good day Crystelle

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Sorry to hear about your experience.

By law, EFT payments are final and irreversible. 

This is a matter between you and the beneficiary, so if you know the beneficiary you paid by mistake, it’s best to contact them and ask them to pay the money back to you alternatively since the funds already left your Discovery Bank account you can log a missing payment with the receiving bank.

Kind regards
Nicolene

Good day Nicolene

If you take the time you will see that no Account number was selected. I am still waiting on your call to help me with this. I just confirmed with Standard Bank that Discovery is suppose to help me with this. However Standard Bank has been calling me 2 times already to help resolve this. I have send them also the details and because no account number was selected the money is still with you guys.

Maybe if your consultants call me we can actually resolve this and ask for more information.
I will be waiting.

I am still waiting, Standard Bank confirmed this morning already via telephone and email that the money is not with them, since I did not put in any account number. Therefore the money is with Discovery Bank. No one called me yet. I had to make all the telephone calls. I am going to close this account as soon as I receive my money back. I am really disappointed in pathetic service receiving currently. I am no longer interested in account with you guys. If this is the service I am going to receive. No thanks.

And still no reply from Discovery Bank, and still I have to make the calls to the bank for follow up.

3rd day again no reply from Discovery so they just going to take my R1400 and never give it back. Everyday I have to call in and speak to a different consultant and everyone is giving me the run around like they just dont care. I want my money back and closing this account. I will never open an account with Discovery again. I will keep on telling my friends and family and whoever wants to know about the bad conning service receiving from Discovery. They are *****ing my money now. Not helpful at all. I mean thats a R1400. Can anyone advise me what I should do to get my money back from these *******. Yes I call you ******* because you are giving me the run around about my own money after doing everything you said I must do. I am so fed up 3 calls per day with no answer.

No one at Discovery is helping. Everytime giving me a call reference number. What a joke. Should I be happy with this service given by Discovery. Is this what you call Customer Service. Wow it shocks me the way I am being treated about my own money and queries. I will never ever recommend Discovery to anyone. I will make sure they know how clients are being treated.

Good day Crystelle

My apologies for the delay in response.

I can see that a case has already been logged and is busy being worked on by the relevant team.

Once feedback is received, I'll be in touch.

Kind regards
