Worst customer service ever.

Worst service ever! As a 30+ years client of Discovery Health, I received a Credit Card with Discovery, connected to, and administered by FNB. As soon as they started their own bank, I've requested that they cancel the card and close the account they have open for me. After months of requests and phone calls it seemed that they would close the account near the end of last year, This never happened and I continuously receive emails and SMS messages that I need to pay bank fees for the facility when I received an email from Adrian Gore (September 4, 2020) apologising for the poor service and assuring me the account wil be closed by end of October 2020. The associated card has also long since expired and never replaced - making the use of the credit card facility also not possible. Yet I still receive sms's and emails almost everyday regarding banking fees due etc. They recently started sending me bank statements and even started deducting money from my FNB account via a debit order created without my permission. Phoned again last week, was assured the account will be closed, received email that funds and fees were refunded and this morning, money deducted from my account by Discovery Bank. Looking at the other reviews, bad customer service and struggling with closing accounts is standard operational procedure at Discovery Bank.

Good day Liana 

Thanks for reaching out.

So sorry to hear about your ongoing experience with Discovery Bank.

I would love to get this sorted for you to ensure you enter the new year on a better note.

Can you perhaps DM me your ID number to investigate.

Kind regards
Nicolene
