A pathetic excuse for a bank

I made an international payment on Sunday (I know Sunday is not a business day), but Monday just came and went. By Monday afternoon nothing was happening. I phoned but go the run around and told I should send an email to the international service desk as they don't accept phone calls any more. I did, nothing happened. I phoneed again and was told they would get to it. Nothing happened. Logged a complaint , nothing happened. Its now Tuesday, that payment has still not been done, every time I phone I get told to add more money to the account (even through there are more money than the amount required (incl commission and swift fees). This is the worst pathetic *********** bank in the world!
