Non existent service and their TV Ad is a lie

After seeing the Discovery advert on TV regarding how easy they made banking, i decided to do an application with them. When contacting them I was advised that I should download their banking app as everything needs to be done on there. I did my application on 27 August only to be advised that it is under review. After waiting a few days, I logged in again requesting an update. Still no answer and I thought to myself WOW this is so contradicting as portrayed on their TV ad how easy it is to bank with them. Low and behold I receive a call from them today asking if I still need assistance. This is just under 2 months later. Wow that is world class service. Ironically, I also logged a call regarding their medical aid and still waiting on a return call.

I'm thinking of just cancelling myself and my wife's products we have with them as they seem to have forgotten about their customers.

Hi Jason 

Thanks for reaching out to us. 

Normally opening a bank account is quick, easy and simple. However, because your application was declined, application disputes do take longer, as this is a complex procedure. 

Our systems also show that you have cancelled your application. Should you have a change of heart, please do not hesitate to contact us for further assistance. 

Regards
