Discovery Bank failing with its online serving

As a bank that prides itself to be an online bank, Discovery is failing miserably. I have been struggling for over 2 weeks to open an account on the banking app, and numerous calls later, no success. Everytime I call I get a new reference number and gets told that my issue will be escalated and that they will personally call me back. To date, absolutely no-one has called me back and since I have had absolutely no feedback on the issue. I had to send numerous screen shots, have the banking team see my phone screen etc.., no success. If a bank cannot even help a customer to open an account, how on earth is the after services going to be? This ia too terrible for words.

So how long is this turnaround time, as it has been over two weeks and all the time I get promised feedback between 24 and 48 hours. Clearly this case is not important to the technical team.

Yes, it always gets escalated to technical and technical does nothing to try and resolve the issue. It has been escalated to technical over a week ago and I have had no call backs, no feedback and no resolution to my case till today, 13 June 2023.
