Account / card Blocked

Standard Bank have “blocked” my cheque account “due to security issues “ now I can’t pay anyone and nobody responds to the chats/ emails This came without warning and I only discovered this when I tried internet banking and saw that the account had been blocked.

Who requested this block ? It certainly wasn’t me ! As I am away in Mauritius for a few months, I cannot go into a branch and cannot make international calls to their call centre to hang on for 30 minutes. This is not the first time I have had this kind of issue, and it is very difficult to get anyone to resolve this. In the meantime I pay any of my bills!

Please can someone call me on my Mauritian number +*** or email me on ***

I have managed to resolve the issue with the ***** department via the chat lines . They blocked the card for suspected *****, but the transaction was legitimate and authorised by myself.
Thanks to Tshidiso in ***** for rectifying this promptly.
