Hidden IFA Balances and Management of IFA - Discovery Disregards Customers

Discovery Insure removed the ability for Customer to be able to have visibility into their IFA Balances and allocations. As a Customer I am only able to see my current Balance. However, I cannot see what the previous balance was and how much was added. Before the new Vitality Drive changes, I used to have full visibility into my funds and track allocations and verify if they were according. Now, they say I have to call into the call centre for me to request a statement. The statement only shows the monthly allocations but does not show what the previous balances were. This is not according to the require practice and not in line with the legal Consumer framework. This is the first step I am taking before proceeding with a complaint to the Insure Ombudsman and Consumer Services. Update the app and resolve the issue if you refuse, I will take further steps.

Good day Ndiyabonga,

We understand your frustration with the changes to Discovery Insure's system and the lack of transparency regarding your IFA balances and allocations. It sounds like a significant inconvenience, especially when you were previously able to track everything easily.

 Our team will be in contact with you to discuss your concerns. 
 
Regards
Discovery Insure

I asked you to call me after 30 minutes and you failed to call me at the exact time I asked you to. You need to respect your Customers. You just called me randomly without even asking my availability. Please ensure that you call me tomorrow at 9:00.

Thank you for your time on the call, as discussed you are not able to assist me and provide relevant information. I will take it up with the Insure Ombudsman.
