Discovery bank still ripping people off after being in business for more than a year

When discovery bank was rolled out I said I would try them out so I converted my discovery credit card to discovery bank credit card a seriously painful process.

I am looking at my app now see the transactional account that I requested to be closed shut down as I dos not want or need it (this happened a month after the change was made) I see now they are still charging me for the transactional account.

I have had nothing but trouble with the support desk

I want a manager to contact me URGENTLY

The change was all done telephonically with some one who did not know what they were doing I was asked a few times for the same thing I confirmed a few times I wanted only a credit card not a transactional account

The credit card was supposed to be a like for like that I had with FNB discovery. And that is also a joke and a lie

Good day Terri,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.Please accept our apologies for the delay in response. We have been receiving an influx of messages on this platform and trying our best to respond to all.

In the interim, we have requested that our finance department reverse the monthly fees charged on your transactional account due to your closure request. This is be done until we are able to close your account.

I truly apologise for any inconvenience caused in the regard. I hope that you can grant us the opportunity to prove that there are better experiences to be had with Discovery Bank.
