Discovery Bank? Discovered it was a *******

My wife and I chose Discovery Bank as I was looking for a Bank we could use to save money for my Daughter or potential family trips, a Bank we could put money in to use towards rainy days and her education.

This would be something I would only be able to deposit into from time to time. I have not used this account in over 5 months and in that time had banking fees taken off. Now a few months later, we decide its not really in our interest to continue both accounts and have decided to close both accounts.

We are both told that in order to close the accounts we both need to pay over R600 in service fees to the bank by Monday, or further costs will be included. This is ridiculous! We have not used this account we have only put in money and had 1 withdrawal each almost a year ago, and we are told that we have to now pay in more than a Grand to close these accounts.

I opened a Discovery Bank account thinking it was a nice gateway to Discovery Health, Discovery Insure, and their various other services and reward schemes... not thinking that that was it... a scheme. How many people do you ******* to ensure a select few are rewarded. It's borderline Ponzi or Pyramid...

Needless to say I will NEVER use Discovery for any of their "Products" ever again. Worst Banking experience of my life
