R6 disappeared from my Discovery bank account

So on 28.05.2025 I transferred money from my Capitec bank to My Discovery Gold account, so that I can make a online payment of R6k. I went to the Game online store, selected the item I wanted to purchase and proceeded to check out. Loaded my discovery bank details, and the site redirected my to the app to authorize the payment. When I opened the app, I realize it was undergoing maintenance and therefore couldn't approve the payment. Therefore, since the payment wasn't approved the money shouldn't have left my account. So when I went back to the app, R6k had disappeared from the account. Logged a complaint, I was told the matter is being escalated. I called for follow up they hanged me up. Called again I was told they need to log a new query. Still no one has provided me details on what happened to the money in my account.

Hi Surprise

Your case is still under investigation, currently our payments team is awaiting external feedback. The team advised that funds were not posted into your account.
Are you able to confirm if the funds were not sent back to your Capitec account?

Kind regards,
Mpho.

Hi Mpho,

Thank you for the feedback.
As I have mentioned on the telephone earlier, I have consulted Captitec Bank, and they have advised that they payment was made to my Discovery Acc. I have gone as far as providing Discovery with the proof of the transfer from Capitec Bank. On top of that, I have a in-app notification on my Discovery Acc acknowledging incoming payment.

Best regards,
Surprise
