Refund request 90 days turnaround is ridiculous

I withdraw money with my discovery bank at an ABSA ATM and the ABSA ATM took my money back into the ATM. The following day I went into the ABSA branch and they informed me that if I was an ABSA client they would be able to refund my money within 5 business days, however because I am with discovery I needed to contact discovery. I explained my situation to Discovery and they informed me that the turnaround time would be 90 days, how is turnaround time with Absa 5 days for a refund but 90 days with discovery? This is truely terrible service. Perhaps I have chosen the wrong bank because the service and eagerness to resolve my issue from ABSA was handles with urgency however discovery made me feel like just another number.

Hi Craig 

Please confirm if the ATM gave you a slip and if you still have it with you?

I do not have the slip.
I went to mall security and they confirmed on the footage that the ATM took the money back.
I have the transaction on my statement and ABSA was kind enough to provide me with the ATM number as well if you need this
