Bad Service

I'm extremely disappointed. I made an online payment using my Standard bank virtual card. Customs/SARS are now demanding proof of payment as they are contesting the value of the item. I cannot get proof of payment on the standard bank app. I then went to the standard bank prospecton branch. They got there told me I cannot get proof of payment and I should get it from the supplier. What nonsense! So if I pay someone using a virtual card and they claim they haven't received the money I have no recourse. How unprofessional. So SARS now wants to charge me a penalty of R500 and vat and customs if I cannot provide proof of payment. They will also keep the item. In addition I have never ever received a statement with any of my virtual card transactions. This is one of the reasons I'm moving away from Standard bank.

I forgot to add, I've been a standard bank client for over 35 years and in the last year or 2 I've had some bad experiences with ***** etc. looks like things are really deteriorating!
