Barefaced Exploitation!

How on Earth can Standard Bank possibly justify a service fee of R246.00 for a cash deposit into my current account by a third party, as was done today at around 11:00?! This is just the type of unconscionable greed and usurious grubbery that cause people to disdain banks and to hold them in the profoundest contempt!

For the most part, a deposit transaction is computerised with minimal human effort to mediate it. This makes the fee Standard Bank charges all the more debauched; and even more especially so, given the lockdown circumstances and its attendant job losses that SA finds itself burdened with at present.

I demand a proper and complete explanation for why the fee for such a transaction is not capped at, say, R50.00, failing which explanation, a full refund is the only decent thing Standard Bank can possibly do to make adequate restitution for such a shamelessly larcenous imposition.
