Discovery Bank...do you exist?

Discovery Bank seems to be a lost case. I app**** for the Discovery Bank account very long ago and received a card but after that I received NO communication whatsoever, I dont even know whether the account was active or how to use the account. To my surprise, as I am a loyal discovery medical member, I managed to link a bank account to that and surprised to see that a discovery bank account is in negative with bank fees. HOW????? Please discovery take me serious. I would love to start using your account but I aint paying for bank charges of months without even knowing this account is active. Please be more professional

Hi Lance 

I have sent a request to my management to approve the reversal of the fees accumulated and will share the feedback as soon as I get it.

Many days later after my review and still NO call, no email, no correspondence from Discovery Bank beside a message on here. Is this how you want to penetrate the banking sector by ignoring complaints. Not all complaints are legit but I asked you to go into my profile and prove where I used this Account? I had no idea the account is even active because of poor communication and now this trend continues. I suggest you rather close down the account and I would then advise fellow professionals NOT to look into dicovery bank accounts as clearly you will get nowhere.

It is taking your management team 10 days to respond. I have banking accounts with Standard Bank and Absa private and I will rather stay with the traditional banking brands. I am not use to such ridiculous service. Your excuses on here is respectfully said bordering on unprofessional and yet NO one at discovery called or attempted to resolve this issue. I am closing this account and suggest other professionals stay as far as away from Discivery Bank as possible. Thank you for your time

Hi Lance 

Please pardon my delayed response. 

I have gotten feedback and the statements requested show that there was no usage on the account but just an accumulation of fees which need to be written off so that you would be able to continue to use the account as requested. 

Approval has been given, I will be logging and escalating a case for the fee reversal and will advise once this is done so that you can activate your account and use it. 
Please note once the fee reversal has been completed and your account activated, you will be liable for all bank charges going forth with or without account usage.
