Worst experience with Discovery, Pathetic service!!!

I am very dissatisfied with your response and lack of service regarding a matter that happened this morning!

My husband paid a beneficiary with immediate payment this morning to an ABSA bank account as it was an emergency and they need the funds! The money was taken from his account but the beneficiary did not receive the funds!! We have called your “help desk” twice this morning and they cannot give us an answer as to when or why the money did not reflect and it cannot be returned either!

I find this absolutely unacceptable and pathetic!! We have also logged am investigation with the proof of payment as “lost funds”! I want this money back immediately!

My husband and I will be closing our accounts and informing the whole of social media if this is not sorted out immediately!

Your lack of help is shocking!!

I want feedback about the R3000 that is floating around!! Now my parents must starve as this money was for them and the payment hasn’t gone through!!!

This is not great to hear and our team will look into this for you. We do apologize for the frustration that has been caused.

Please note we can not work on a profile from the request of a third party, please request that your husband contact us directly.

How or who does he contact as the “contact desk agents” are not helpful! Please advise?

This is rediculous now!! It has been more than 24hrs since we did an immediate payment and it still has not reflected!! My parents need this money! I can’t believe that in 24hrs no one can give us an answer or explanation as to why the money has not reflected!! I want this sorted out today!! Not say they are investigating, that answer is not good enough! Why must we keep following up!! I want someone higher up to get this sorted out! We are not happy discovery clients!
