Pathetic service!! NOT RECOMMENDED TO ANYONE

If i can rate in minus, I would have!!

When joining Discovery Bank, you are asked whether you would like to pay a monthly fee PER TRANSACTION or pay a FLAT RATE monthly transaction fee.. When i joined Discovery Bank a few years ago, I thought my small business that i started would have grown and the amount of transactions I would have done on my account would be more than my flat rate transaction fee, so i opted for flat rate monthly transaction fee rater than per transaction. WHAT A BIG MISTAKE (other than joining the Bank in the first place….)

After my business did not succeed, i phoned Discovery THE FIRST TIME in 2022 to ask to change the monthly fee from FLAT RATE to PER TRANSACTION. When i phoned my account was in a POSITIVE!

When I phoned them the first time, I thought that this matter will be sorted as i received confirmation per telephone that it will be processed. It has now been 2 YEARS later and it is still not processed!! I have since phoned 3 more times and said i am NOT going to pay my account that shows in arrears, because i DID NOT AUTHORISE the fees and have tried to short this **** out for 2 years!!

I am STILL waiting for anyone of the 3 people I phoned to contact me back to sort this out!! I am DONE with this PATHETIC bank!

The last time i phoned I actually requested that my account be closed, but that also didn’t happen!

Hi Jeanri

We would like to apologize for all the frustration you had to go through. 

We are, however, happy to advise you that your account has been downgraded to pay-as-you-transact and is no longer on a bundled pricing. Moreover, the relevant team has sent a formal request for the fees to be waivered due to non-usage. This means that as soon as this is approved by management, your account will no longer be in an overdraft. Please allow between four and seven working days for internal processes to complete.

We appreciate you being with us and we look forward to your stay.

Kind Regards
The Discovery Bank Team
