Poor Handling of Customer Requests

On 8 August I made an EFT to top up my Ithuba e-Wallet account and only after it had gone through did I notice that the banking details for Ithuba had changed since my last EFT (I had them as an existing benficiary in my online banking account). On 9 Aug I sent the first enquiry to their Customer Relations dept. asking them to transfer the funds from the old account into the new account and credit my e-Wallet. On 9 Aug they responded saying my request had been forwarded to their Finance Dept and that they would let me know when they receive a response. On 15 Aug I repeated my enquiry and requested a case number (so that I had something to refer to). They didnt respond. On 18 August I repeated the enquiry again and the response I got was exactly the same as on 9 August, saying that it been forwarded to their Finance Dept and that they would let me know when they receive a response from them. Today is 03 September and I havent heard from them - sure, they will respond when the Finance Dept. decides to do something about it. My question is thus when, this month, next month, this year, next year? All of the mentioned correspondence was done by email and which I have on record.

Today 30 September and still no resolution - I had a gentleman from Ithuba call me two two weeks ago telling me that they are working on getting the funds transferred from the old account (still theirs) to the new account. For me, to transfer from one account to another takes a few minutes (good show ABSA!) but for them it apparently takes weeks (hope to heaven this is not a Zupta account transcation). So guys... this is the end of my online Lottery venture and it seems I have made a donation to their year-end Christmas bash.......

Good day

Thank you for contacting ITHUBA.

Please be advised that this matter has been escalated to the relevant department and feedback will be provided shortly.

Ithuba changed its banking details in November last year, we have sent several SMSs advising customers of this change. For correct National Lottery Bank details log on to your account.
