Standard Bank Insurance - Pathetic

The worst insurance brokers, that I have encountered. On the 4th of December 2023, I sent Standard Bank Insurance brokers to cancel an insurance policy ,which is debited from my Standard Bank credit card. I tried calling them , but can never get through, as you are left hanging on the line , after long time got through to the call centre consultant, I mentioned that I would like to please cancel an insurance policy , which is debited from my credit card. The call centre consultant, told me ,that I can only do it in writing and she gave me the email address to send it to. I got an email response the very same day stating that an insurance consultant will get back to me in 1 (one) business day. After 3 business days nothing happened, I then resent 2 more emails , a couple of days later , also including the complaints department . To date I have had no response from Standard Bank Insurance brokers, nor from their Complaints department. It is now a month later and I am still waiting and still being debited for an insurance policy, I no longer want. This is pathetic service from a major bank.I will be closing my Standard Bank account.

Reviewer Update
Standard Bank Insurance brokers, nor their complaints department responds, all they are good at is sending you emails, telling you that they will respond, but no response is forthcoming. Typical response from Standard Bank complaints department
"We would like to reassure you that we are attending to your complaint and one of our specialists will contact you within the next 24 business hours to advise you of the next steps." This was sent on the 5th of January 2023 , It is now the 12th of January 2023 and still no response on the request to cancel an insurance policy from Standard Bank Insurance . My solution will be to close my Standard Bank Account and never ever have any dealings with such an unresponsive bank as Standard Bank.
