Broken promises

Requested a student loan. Against my requests for the loan to be paid into my account due to me having doubts it was paid to the institution. Refund was done back to standard bank. Their staff member ensured me that due to my concerns being true they would pay the refund into my account. Now they are going back On their word. Starting to doubt this bank.

Yeah in the next 3 months meanwhile I will still have to pay the fees.
your staff member made promises and I expect them to be upheld.
Internal policies are not a clients issue. I want this paid out today.
The ombudsman has already been notified of this.

Im not waiting another week for feedback.
I expect the full amount of R43500 (which I signed for) to be paid into my account by 12:00 today or I will be asking the ombudsman to escalate this even further.
I find the lack customer service in this regard appalling.
The course I have not decided to do requires me to purchase certain items on my own and they do not provide them. I have limited time to do so.

Ill wait another 6 weeks before I get a resolution on this. I asked for this to be resolved by 12:00 and nothing. I'm fed up with standard bank. Just not care for their clients. Unless they are private clients. Then they get immediate response and its sorted straight away

Standard Bank has until 16:30 to have this money deposited into my account or I will ne taking legal action.
Melusi promised on Thursday that due to my concerns becoming a reality they would pay directly into my account once the refund is processed.

So now I demand that standard bank uphold that comment.
You have until 16:30 Im now sick of waiting. It does not take days to get a recording clarified.

And still standard bank refuses to do anything and amend this.
Their staff tell me they will have it paid into my account. Another staff member tells me something else.
I contact the ombudsman. Get told that I have a right to demand that it be paid into my account as either way Im paying it and now they think they can overrule it.
I want this payment made today. No more ******* phone calls or excuses.
Today.
I as a paying client deserve some respect at least.

Standard bank is perfectly happy to have a client try to end their life due to the stress and strain they have put them under. Even their CEO @Simtshabalala ignores all emails.
