A useless bank who cannot get it right

This bank is useless. I really dont know why I have remained a customer for 30 years. I opened a Fixed Term Account on 31 July 2020 online. The account appears in my online bank profile but I never received a contract. When I phoned today, I was told that I was SUPPOSED to have a contract emailed to me but because I opened the account online there is nothing they can do now. If your online facility does not work, why do you offer it. I demand that this account be cancelled forthwith and my funds returned. I will invest it elsewhere. All branches in my area were closed due to COVID at the time. I am so tired of ZERO service we get in South Africa. Please close that account immediately. I have placed my identity number in the appropriate place.

I will be reporting you to the Banking Ombudsman - you have taken my money without a contract. That is *****.

You confirmed receiving my complaint on 1 October and it is now 5 days later. I demand that the 12 month fixed=term account I opened online be cancelled and my money returned to my cheque account immediately as you obviously are not able to send a contract to me. I repeat that I will be contacting the banking ombudsman if I do not receive my money back by Wednesday 7 October.

Please be advised that I will be sending my complaint to the banking Ombudsman tomorrow 9 October. I have given you enough time to sort out my problem since 30 September - 9 days ago.

I am still waiting for this account to be cancelled WITHOUT charges. It has been more than a month.
