EFT error and recall disaster

<p>After system maintenance on 24 July I completed an EFT that was supposed to be R510.</p> <p>R2922 was deducted from my account.</p> <p>Took two phone calls and 40min to get through to call centre and log a call.</p> <p>Was told it was an IT error that was affecting lots of people and would be resolved within 48 hours.</p> <p>A week later and 1.5 hours on the phone and numerous facebook posts the issue has still not be resolved - instead ANOTHER R2922 was taken off my account and PAID to "RECALL PASA INCIDENT" instead of refunded.</p> <p>There has been no communication to customers of the issue, no public releases and no apology or timeline for when this will be resolved.</p> <p>In the meantime "lots" of customers have been affected and are out of pocket - impacting business, overdraft fees, etc. Will there be any compensation for the costs incurred by customers in the process to resolve?</p> <p>Hugely dissappointed in Standard Bank and looking for a new bank!</p>

Matter has NOT been resolved. The incorrect amount of R2922 was deducted from my account on first transaction. The "fix" REMOVED another R2922 instead of crediting me. Today, one amount of R2922 has been credited to my account, the original problem has NOT been attended to. Please contact me urgently for resolution.

Ah Std Bank :(:(:(

So after 'fixing' the problem, you refunded me again, twice .. and then recalled the two refunds ...

and then on 3 Aug, you CHARGE me for the fix - R50 fee-branch transaction .. when i have never been into a branch.

Please reverse this charge immediately!

And how about some public communication about the IT issues?

And any interest on the "******" funds for the past two weeks?

And any compensation for the 3+ hours on phonecalls to call centre?

please respond asap.

Nic
