*********** Bank

I would like to express my very unpleasant experience with Standard Bank, a while ago I lost my bank cards including 2 cards from other banks Discovery and FNB and I haven't been able to go to the bank to replace them as I run a very tight schedule. I am still able to process all other transactions on the other 2 banks on their banking apps but with Standard Bank I am told I need to go into a branch to replace the card before I can do any transactions. I blocked the damn card and not my account, why do I need to have a physical card before I can transact. This completely forfeits the purpose of online banking. I cannot wait to completely close this non convenient account.

Thank you, please advise how this will be resolved? Because if I have to go to a bank just to be able to transact on the app then I will go to the branch to close the account because we have banking app's to make banking easier for ourselves.

The phone call was a waste of time as the lady said the same thing I am complaining about, my understanding is that the bank is not willing to help. I will definitely be closing this account, I cannot work with a bank that is not willing to accommodate my schedule and false advertising they are a digital bank when loosing a bank card affects all my transactions. Standard bank has just given me ******* service.
