Estate Late account opening at Standard Bank

Standard Bank call centre staff are surely ill-equipped to answer queries regarding anything on an estate late account. Apparently you must go into the bank to even get answers to your queries, because, I quote, "we have limited information available, only the branch can answer your queries." Because everyone just has all that spare time to dawdle into the bank to ask some questions BEFORE opening the account. Pathetic service, even when I initially went into the bank, Thibault Square, they confirmed they'd get back to me within 2 business days, we are now on 6 business days and counting...I am the executor myself, and it would be great if someone knowledgeable can actually provide some valuable feedback before I go to the bank again only to be told xyz is required and the process takes an additional x days to open.

A bit of a generic response I'd like to believe. So no query as to how you can assist to resolve my query, which will further enable Standard Bank to uplift THEIR staff. Call in, you get one answer, GO IN you get another answer. Gosh, who would have guessed dying is so difficult for the executors to execute the estate for the family.
