Issues not resolved my forex payment is pending.

Infuriated and disgusted about the way discovery bank is handling my forex withdrawal. The bank is unable to process the payment it’s just hanging there the call center agents keeps on escalating the matter but it doesn’t get resolved. The money transferred can be seen but it says pending. After the query is resolved I’m closing the account not a bank I want to deal with.

Good morning Girshewin

Kindly make sure that the next time you respond don’t respond for the sake of response. I’m not sure if you guys were not trained on how to deal with a complaint in a public platform. Respond with the full information. The way your response is even so **** you didn’t even check my profile that’s how much you want to get this over and done with. I thought that discovery is a bad bank but that was before you responded. Your infuriating

Good morning

Yesterday the funds were no longer showing on my side. However it’s not reflecting in my skrill account, how is it possible as when you deposit from discovery to skrill the payment becomes available immediately. If you say that the funds were reversed kindly send me the proof that it was sent back to which account.

Also advice on how to close my account once the matter has been put to bed.

I have managed to call the call center to get my account closed. The agent logged a query and provided me with a reference number.

Please do check with the payment department to see what the time frame after payment has been rejected as now I’m starting to panic because it’s been 2 weeks the money has been on limbo.

Good morning letter received however the funds are still not on the account used to send. Truth be told you have failed as a bank check the number of complaints you have in a day. You have inconvenienced me in a bigger way possible. Please don’t bother responding as there is nothing you can possibly say as the only thing o want is my money.

Good morning

I hope your well. taking into consideration the response that I got from you on the 20th that you will check with your finance department if the payment has been done, it certainly means that you have sent me a letter that the payment was sent back to skrill when it wasn’t, how do you check if the payment has been done or not when you have given the client confirmation that it has been returned? Please note that I will be giving you 5 working days for my funds to be paid into my bank account of choice or I will be reporting the matter to the ombudsman as you are incapable of refunding me in peace.I have tried to be Civil and understanding but your taking advantage as the situation is favourable to you. I have been making follow up for a month now and I’m done. Kindly consider your response carefully as I will be sending through this messages to the ombudsman.

Have a lovely day.

Hi Malibe 

Unfortunately, that is not the case. Our payments team have confirmed that the fund were returned on the 06th of July 2022 as per the letter sent to you. 

Please have Skrill investigate the refund from their end. 

If you do not agree with the feedback, please feel free to open a formal complaint with the ombudsman.

Good day

I just received confirmation from skrill that the payment was sent back to discovery as the payment made could not be linked with my account. Please confirm with your finance department. I have since closed my account with you , I will have to provide you with an account number to pay on the funds.
