Struggle opening a bank acc

Never in my existence have I struggled so much with just opening a bank account, I mean first thing first you have to have a their app to proceed with opening an account, then comes an interesting part "taking the selfie", never have I struggled so much, it was "move your face to the right, hold still, open your mouth slowly" and the best one blink slowly, I mean how do you do that really, I mean there should an optipn to by pass this, tried for hours taking a self and the end of the day I seem to have no face according to their app, wow...so much for being innovative

Hi, Thapelo

Thank you for your interest in Discovery. We do not have an option to by-pass the selfie option due to security reasons as our application process is linked to Home Affairs. Please try to stand in a clear background without any distractions.

Regards,
Lebohang
