"NEDBANK's TECHNO-TRAUMA!"

The "4th Industrial Revolution" is revolting! I've been a loyal Nedbank client since 1958 - that's 63 years (trust me, I double-checked!) and in all that time it's been a pleasant, personalised relationship. But not anymore! Anonymous techno-babble has taken over - worse still is that Nedbank appears to have "upgraded" (on 'April Fools day' it seems) to the point where their MoneyApp on my iPad no longer works - without which one is financially "cancelled"! Either I have to buy the latest gizmo - at toe-curling cost - to suit their new diktat (but how - with no money app nor discontinued cheques!) or suffer eye-watering fees by approaching live (but disappearing) tellers in a branch. Nedbank now even charges R35 for an ATM generated a/c statement printout and, believe it or not, not only do they pay you absolute zero interest on your current account but warn they'll charge you a fee of R82.20 per R100.00 (!!!) if you happen to need to withdraw funds for a 3rd time during a month! "Makes You Think, Doesn't It?" How I - and others of my generation - yearn for a return to the gentler age of pens, paper and people! Maybe I'll test FNB's "How Can We Help You?" slogan.....if my iPads still good enough for them, I'll switch!
