Discovery bank judge clients on algorithms not facts or real life yet profess to be a “behavioural bank”!
App**** for credit increase, no feedback I had to keep following up. I earn well, I have paid all my bills on time, over pay my card. Was declined due to a micro loan I took due to a life threatening family emergency and using all my credit (which is minimal) at Woolworths due to same family emergency. Very very disappointed in the company I used to work for! You realise we are people, not algorithms? I was so impressed initially, now just quite disgusted. Was told you’re a “behavioural bank”! Perhaps you should consider your own “behaviour” and treat clients like people not numbers!

I have updated my email.
I do not earn commission I earn a set salary but since covid we are paid more regularly because a lot of staff have many holes to fill. My basic is also broken up by different divisions since my promotion which is how it reflects on my payslip. I earn a 10% overriding commission on the sales of my team which makes up a very small portion of my income.
I app**** for the micro loan due to a life threatening family emergency BEFORE I app**** for the credit increase as I had to wait 3 months before I could apply with discovery so your facts are incorrect. In fact the micro loan was taken out on 01 April 2021, and my 3 month re-application period was on 06 May. I would have repaid the micro loan with part of the overdraft increase from discovery until my next salary. I pay my credit card on time, in fact I over pay it every month. I was pre-approved AFTER I took out the micro loan, so that’s Discovery’s mistake.
I have not received any detailed mail nor have I received the promised call from credit to reassess my application in light of the new information I have provided.
I wish to challenge the decision based on the fact that it was an error on YOUR part, you cannot pre approve someone when all the facts are at your disposal and then blame your turnaround on one of the facts that were there when you pre approved me in the first place.
I used to work for Discovery and I will dispute this and challenge it until you take ALL factors into account, stop treating your clients like algorithms, stop making your clients chase you for feedback and display integrity and KEEP YOUR WORD. There was no valid reason to decline my application. Unless you can tell me no one at discovery has ever had a life threatening family emergency and needed emergency funds, hence a micro loan for a small amount to be paid back in 60 days. I didn’t apply for a personal loan of 350k to be paid back over 5 years, which would certainly affect my ability to pay, but to decline over a 60 day loan for R4500.00 based on my earnings is *******. Check your facts and see when this loan was taken! A month before I app**** for a credit increase.
Kindly escalate this to a team leader, I want the matter attended to as a matter of urgency and I want the decision disputed based on the fact that your facts are incorrect! MY EARNINGS ARE NOT COMMISSION BASED, MY MONTHLY EXPENSES ARE LOW, AFFORDABILITY IS NOT AN ISSUE and you KNEW all of this when you pre-approved me. Someone dropped the ball! Kindly fix it!
