BEWARE OF MUKURU CARD REVERSALS

Made the mistake of requesting an uber with the mukuru card. Requested twice but both times trips got canceled because drivers had trouble locating me. Now mukuru won't return the money that uber deducted for the authorisation hold! I spoke with one guy today and clarified to him that I am owed money that wasn't reversed back into my card, less the cancelation fee. Instead of rectifying this, I find out that my card has instead been blocked as if I am making all of this up and I'm trying to ***** when all I just want is my money back!!! If anyone reads this who can help, please advise where one can one report companies like these!!

Dear Adolph,

Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. We deeply regret the frustration and inconvenience you’ve experienced with the authorization hold charges and the subsequent blocking of your Mukuru card. This is not the experience we want for any of our customers, and we sincerely apologize for any distress caused.Regarding the charges from Uber, authorization holds are standard procedures used by merchants to confirm funds. These holds are typically reversed once a transaction is canceled or completed. However, we understand that in this case, your funds were not returned as expected. After escalating this matter, we are pleased to inform you that the issue has been resolved, and the funds have been credited to your account. Normally, this process occurs automatically, but due to a system issue, it was delayed. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by this delay.

Additionally, we regret the trouble caused by your card being blocked. While our intention is always to prioritize the security of your account, we acknowledge that this may have been an unintended outcome in this instance.We deeply value your trust in Mukuru and are committed to ensuring such situations do not recur in the future. If you have any further questions or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at ***
