Bad experience at standard bank

I am very disappointed and frustrated with standard bank , and with standard bank kzn phoenix branch , I opened a sum1 account for my child online, a savings account , they told me to send his birth certificate and my id , it was approved online and they told me to go collect the card at a standard branch

I then took early leave from work and rushed to standard bank , the consultants that work in the phoenix branch told me, they cant give me the card cause my child's birth certificate the stamp on it is slightly faded , okay I agree its slightly faded , but my problem is when I sent the certificate to the department who opened my account why did they not reject it , why did they approve and tell me to go collect my card

I have wasted my time and fuel to go there , and wasted my boses time at work cause I left early , this is unexpectable and I won't even continue with this bank il open some where else

I dont suggest anyone else if you going to be treated like this
