Horrible communication from this bank

Seems the people managing the social media accounts are there to play, especially on X (former Twiter). I've asked about my card which Discovery said will be deliver today but they ignore serious enquiries, all they care about is people tweeting about their love for the bank. If they are not willing to resolve issues then fine, I'll close the account & leave them in peace. Also, the only way to contact this bank is by phoning in, we also work, hire people to respond to emails & chat channels. Futuristic bank with ancient methods of communication.

So I must come to this platform every time I have an enquiry because your agents are busy chasing clout?
Do you know that I they told me to call DSV myself? I'm gonna close this account.

" Hi Simangele

Thanks for your patience in dealing with this matter.

I have escalated this case to our account closure team on case ***9.

Please allow our team 8 days to complete this request for you.

Girshwin"

*This was on 19 February, Discovery do you want to close the Gold Transactional account that you said you will help me with, or you will carry on adding fees?

Hope everyone gets to see how useless Discovery is. They are going to return to me in April again with apologies & no action taken

Let me tell you what happened as I've had to call in since you guys are useless. The first request to cancel was auto-cancelled, as to why, clearly to continue charging me for an account thay should be closed. I'm now going to write to the ombudsman as I will not be ****med by Discovery
