Extremely Disappointed with Sanlam Money Saver Credit Card and Customer Service

I recently had an incredibly frustrating experience with Sanlam's Money Saver credit card, and I feel compelled to share my negative review. The issue began in February 2023 when a *****ulent transaction occurred on my card. Despite reporting the incident promptly to the call center, I am shocked to say that as of June 2023, I have received absolutely no communication or resolution from Sanlam, despite my numerous attempts to contact them.

The lack of responsiveness from Sanlam's customer service is utterly appalling. Each time I called the call center, I was greeted by different agents who would assure me that they were escalating the matter and that someone would reach out to me soon. Regrettably, these assurances proved to be empty promises, as there has been no communication whatsoever from the company. It is evident that Sanlam does not value its customers or take their concerns seriously.

The experience of being left in the dark for months with no updates or resolution is incredibly frustrating and unprofessional paired with the fact that my card is still blocked despite debit orderd going into the account monthly. I expected a reputable financial institution like Sanlam to handle such matters promptly and efficiently, but I have been sorely disappointed. Their lack of urgency in addressing a *****ulent transaction on their own credit card raises serious concerns about their commitment to customer security and satisfaction.

The disregard for customer service exhibited by Sanlam in this instance is not only disheartening but also reflects poorly on their overall credibility and integrity. It is distressing to think that a company entrusted with managing people's finances can be so negligent in resolving critical issues.

I strongly advise potential customers to think twice before considering the Sanlam Money Saver credit card. If you encounter any issues or require assistance, do not rely on their customer service to come to your aid. Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend Sanlam as a reliable or trustworthy financial institution.

Sanlam's handling of this situation has left me feeling disillusioned and disrespected as a customer. I hope this review serves as a cautionary tale and encourages Sanlam to prioritize effective customer service and rectify their shortcomings in order to regain the trust of their clientele.

Reviewer Update
Sanlam called me immediately after I posted this complaint saying they were going to contact me, up to date almost two months later I am still waiting. Why do you even reply if you are going to frustrate clients more by merely doing a tick box exercise by making contact and thereafter not doing anything to solve the situation. Pathetic service or lack of service at all
