Do not bank here

Do not, I urge you do not bank with Discovery. I am waiting for over a month now to cancel my account. This is thievery as I keep getting billed for an account I do not want. I do not want to bank with these people after running around trying to find information as there is no information regarding fees. Initially I was told I was getting a cheque and credit card only to find out I am now paying double for just a credit card. Then they tell me sorry we can not upgrade you only to find out they can. I want my account cancelled immediately. I have emailed and called and 48 hours has elapsed 10 days ago but they keep adding another 48 hours. This is not a bank you want to bank with. Can you trust a bank like this with your hard earn money.

Thank you I cannot believe I need to run around and move money from Discovery Credit to Discovery Bank. Is this the same company. Wow can't believe I am being billed for not using this account after begging to have it closed. I have had better service from Telkom and Home affairs.

Never again

Please note I when I moved to the bank I was told this account will be closed within 2 months (this was in April). When I cancelled the 'new Bank' I asked if this account will be closed. So the fact that this account is open is due to negligence on your side, or your call centre not knowing whats going on. I was even billed R12 to move money from the old Discovery credit card to the 'new Bank'. The reason I refuse to bank with you is no one answers at the call centre. No one can tell me what the bank chargers are. And I keep reading about all the issues you are having in the news. Do I really want to deal with all of this. Do I want my hard earn money in this bank that seems to be running so smoothly you are on hold for an hour!!!!!!!! Thank you not again.
