Discovering new ways to push clients away

I honestly fail to understand how discovery bank claims to be the bank of the future. Yes, there are a few neat functions that they do have, but they have processes that are so annoyingly slow that they would make a bank from the middle ages seem as the next best thing since white bread.

I honestly dont understand why Discovery is moving backwards. With my recent experience with Discovery insure, Life, medical and now banking I have no faith in the brand as a whole. I am on the fence whether I want to switch my salary account away from discovery only, or if I want to close off my accounts after switching my salary account as I don't really see a use for discovery bank anymore. What I need, I can get from other institutions faster with better communication.

Who knows, maybe I just have unrealistic expectations. But for now the rose tinted glasses have fallen off and I see discovery for what it is, a dead horse. No point in using or keeping a dead horse.

For current users of Discovery bank and for new prospective clients, a word of caution. Through discovery you will discover new and unique ways to get flustered and frustrated. I am mindful that some people are into problems, but for now I have had my fair share and I am calling it a day.

Hi Nico

This is not great to hear. This is definitely not the service we strive to provide our clients.

Please elaborate on what issue you are experiencing, so I can look into it.

Reviewer Update
Hi Yuvna,

I appreciate you reaching out at the back end of my review.

In this instance, your support would not be required. All I am posting on HelloPeter is my review against the brand as a whole, not here requesting for assistance.

All matters are resolved, or in the process of being resolved. I have no intention on writing a formal complaint on the back end of my review.

Apologies for being vague with the details in the review, and for not delving into the details on my gripe against the brand.
