Standard Bank Insurance Makes Cancellation Impossible with their Deceptive Tactics

I am writing this out of sheer frustration and anger regarding the appalling service I have encountered while trying to cancel my funeral cover. It has become painfully clear that your department is employing tactics designed to frustrate customers and make it nearly impossible to cancel a service that I no longer wish to maintain.

First and foremost, I attempted to cancel my cover through your mobile app, which clearly states that cancellation is an option. However, when I followed the prompts, I was met with a wall of obstacles. The app simply does not allow me to complete the cancellation process. This is not only misleading but also incredibly frustrating.

In an effort to resolve this issue, I resorted to calling your customer service line. To my dismay, I was placed on hold for more than 10 minutes, a tactic that seems designed to irritate and exhaust customers. When I finally managed to speak with a representative, I was informed that the system was offline. How convenient! It appears that your team is deliberately making it difficult for customers like me to cancel a service we no longer want. This experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. It feels as though Standard Bank is actively trying to trap its customers in unwanted contracts by employing these frustrating tactics. I deserve better treatment than this, and I will not stand for it. Next thing they will debit your account and not return your debit order even after I have cancelled the cover. If they dare debit my account again end of January I swear they will return my money

Thank you

Can they please cancel and not debit my account. Please dont take my money anymore because I cancelled that cover in the app. This serves as evidence that you will reimburse my money back because you'll be debiting my account *******ly if you debit at the end of January

I am writing to express my outrage regarding a recent unauthorized debit from my account, despite receiving a cancellation confirmation for the funeral cover. This situation is completely unacceptable and has caused me significant distress.

After you assured me that my policy was canceled, I was shocked to find that my account was still debited. This not only undermines the trust I placed in your services but also raises serious concerns about your operational practices.

When I attempted to resolve this issue by calling your cancellation department, I was placed on hold for 29 minutes. This level of service is intolerable and indicates a lack of respect for your clients' time and concerns. I demand an immediate explanation for this unauthorized charge and expect a prompt refund to my account.


I would like to know what steps you will take to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future.

I look forward to your urgent response.

I am extremely disappointed with the lack of follow-through from your team. After being assured that someone would contact me within 24 hours regarding my issue, I have yet to hear from anyone. It is now more than 24 hours later, and this delay is unacceptable. I worked hard for that money and it cant be taken just like that

Your failure to honour your commitment reflects poorly on your customer service and leaves me feeling ignored. Will you please assist by sending back my money
