Do not trust them with your money

Wish I could give 0 stars. Do NOT trust Standard Bank. Even though I have insurance against loss of income, Standard bank still had legal representation against me for non-payment (I cannot pay due to loss of income!). Now they are just bloating and bloating the due amounts to impossible figures. What started as a simple R1500 payment is now over R8000 due to interest, fees, interest on the fees, fees on the additional interest, overdraft fees, and interest on the overdraft.

What pains me the most is their lack of understanding and absolutely no remorse. The conversation on the phone literally goes like this:

You have not paid. Why?

I lost my job and have no income.

Okay, so you are due at the end of the month. When can we expect payment?

I won't be able to make the full payment.

Okay. Our legal team will be in contact.

I cannot wait for the day that I can leave this bank.
