44-years loyalty and an impeccable record mean nothing!

Having been an account holder with this institution since 1976 and held "Prestige" account status since 1991, my record with that institution has been beyond impeccable. Through that principal association services were engaged from many of its' associate service offerings. I was recently advised, when applying for a credit card, having lived in Australia for 12 years, that the Standard Bank was only interested in my record over the past 6-months, and the fact that I had been an exceptionally loyal account holder for over 40-years meant nothing. Whilst living offs**** my Standard Bank accounts were kept open and that bank earned significant income from numerous forex transfers processed. I now bank with Capitec!
