Sanlam Money Saver / Wealth Bonus alert

If you're comfortable with being ignored and therefore not receiving any service or at the very best receiving "sorry for your experience" but without any action consider doing business with Sanlam Life & Sanlam Money Saver C/Card.

Internet systems out of order since November 2024 and no attempt from Sanlam / RCS to rectify. I cannot access my account or track my Wealth Bonus. Also this Wealth Bonus value is incorrect based on other communication received - round about 50% less!!!! So where are those savings?? There is just no way to correct or track anything since Sanlam Life is non responsive !!!

I'm beyond frustrated and irritated and would advise anyone not to consider doing any business with Sanlam.

I've decided against taking out any additional cover due to this lack of service and consideration. The cover I do have is not out of free choice but being part of a Group Scheme and would have moved even that if I could.

Good day Sanlam

Yes, the Money Saver Department couldn't get hold of me. They sent me an email and I responded to them when I was available. Awaiting their reaction.

But not surprisingly Sanlam Reality / Wealth has not tried to respond to my review. This shows how Sanlam read their reviews and only try others to address their issues whilst Sanlam is non responsive!!

Sanlam's own reaction confirms the statements in my review on Sanlam themselves and no wonder that more than 80% of your reviews are extremely poor (1 star).

Thank you for your feedback.  

HelloPeter is an independent review platform where clients can share their feedback and experiences with various companies, including the Sanlam Group. While Sanlam does not respond directly to reviews on HelloPeter, we do monitor the platform closely. When a review is posted, it is referred to the relevant department or team to address the issue directly with the client. This ensures that complaints are handled by the appropriate team for a resolution.

Regards

You didn't sent the query to all the relevant departments. There are 2 departments involved in my query

1. Sanlam Money Saver C/Card
2. Sanlam Reality / Wealth

But Sanlam do not wish to acknowledge that nor address it.

The Sanlam Money Saver card and wealth bonus are products of Sanlam Reality and is administered by them.

"....administered by them"? Do you refer to Sanlam Money Saver as the administrator of both the Card and Wealth Bonus?

One of the very few times I had a response from Sanlam I was told:

"However, I will redirect your query to the policy department or alternatively you may contact *** or email ***, however you may also contact Money Saver on *** or email ***. I apologise for any inconvenience caused. Your reference number is: -***"

So how is there not 2 departments? And as mentioned countless times Sanlam is non responsive

I cannot communicate with Sanlam as they don't respond to written communication. That's why Sanlam is here now....

I'll speak to RCS / Money Saver C/Card when they react
