Unreliable and Not so helpful

Horrible Horrible Service. There are no statements and payment reminders to my mailbox. App is confusing. I have enough money in my Transaction account, yet after the month, I was unsure how much I owe in credit card. I paid R1000. Apparently I was supposed to pay R1300. One morning, my app was blocked, accounts were blocked as I needed to pay R300 arrears. I couldn't even login and pay R300 from my transaction to credit. When I called, I was told that I need to pay R300 from some other bank to Discovery and then only they will unfreeze my accounts. So all the money and card and app blocked for R300. Where I had money in my transaction account. Points/Miles and stuff all good, but I don't know how this is justified and explained. Not a reliable bank, just a cashback rewards setup at the moment, but not the one you can move to and close everything else.
