Discovery Bank, again…

Absolutely pathetic! The worst bank you could ever imagine. They are utterly *********** and useless. They lost a month of my salary in forex transaction. More than two months later, I have made no progress, not evening reporting the matter to the ombudsman helped. They just brushed that off with their legal mumbo jumbo.

They are terrible, useless and ***********. If these types of institutions consider themselves as professionals in South Africa, this country has zero hope.

Good day Eric

Thank you for reaching out.

I'm so sorry to hear about your experience but I would love to investigate the matter.

Could you perhaps provide me with more information on the transaction you're querying including the date and amount.

Kind regards
Nicolene

Hi Eric 

Thank you for sharing your information and apologies for the delay in response.

I have been in contact with the Executive Office who deals with the Ombudsman cases and Gary Cook advised he did contact you yesterday.

The Executive Office will deal with future communication regarding your missing payment.

Regarding your account closure, your account needs to remain open for the duration of the investigation.

Kind regards
Nicolene

Hi Eric 

I completely understand your frustration but the account needs to remain open for the funds to be returned.

I will reverse all the fees charged on the account once the issue has been resolved with the Bank of America.

Unfortunately we cannot change the system that it doesn't charge monthly fees but please note you won't be liable for the fees.

I have spoken to Gary again today and he is working hard on getting your funds back.

Kind regards
Nicolene

Hello Nicolene,

Thank you for that. The account in question, are you referring to cheque account or credit card account? The account I’m referring to is the credit card account.

Hi Eric 

My apologies, i was under the impression that you wanted to close your entire account.

If you just want to do a downgrade from a Full Banking Suite to a Transaction account, I'd be happy to help.

Kind regards
Nicolene

Hi Eric

Not a problem, once I receive feedback from Gary, I will deal with all your fees.

You can leave it in my hands.

Kind regards
