Sanlam 2-pot payment ****

On the 22nd of September i app**** to have my 2 pot retirement payment done. the app said the estimated time of payout would be 15th October. its now the 30th of October and still nothing, in comparison, my colleague app**** for from Old mutual to be paid out and hers was finalized and reflecting in her account within a week. I've been with Sanlam and had my retirement annuity with them for 15 years. im now considering moving my retirement annuity to old mutual. if they take this long to pay out such a small amount, I shudder t think how long I will have to sing for my retirement annuity payout when the time comes. terrible service and no updates on the app, it still shows estimated payout on the 15th of October. There is no one to speak to when you call the call center, there's just a generic service message that tells you to be patient for the payout. you don't have the option to talk to a human being. pathetic service.

Reviewer Update
Hi, yes thank you, I just came back here to say Amalia Mitchell from Sanlam made contact with me on 30-10-2024 and payment was made into my account on friday. She was very apologetic and helpful. Whilst this was a much appreciated outcome. I still wish that Sanlam implored the same efficiency from start to finish as opposed to just "trouble shooting" after the bad review was done. Do better Sanlam, so that your customers dont have to resort to such deplorable measures. I suggest starting with your call centre so that your customers are left with a distasteful automated message basically saying "be patient whilst we take our time".

Thank Amalia for her swiftness in processing my payment.
