Extremely unprofessional and unhelpful

I did a international transfer over two weeks ago to my sister in law in the UK. The system gliched and I put the payment through twice by accident. I called immediately afterwards to cancel the payment. I was told it had been canceled and not to worry. The first payment came off that day. The following day the canceled payment was taken from my account with the bank charges. The recipient my sister in law recieved the first payment 2 days later. The 2nd payment that was supposed to be canceled she never received. I have had 2 weeks of absolute anguish worrying about where my money is. I have esculated it on numerous times. The only response I get from them is they waiting for the foreign bank to reply. 2 weeks and 2 days later. The money should never have left my account in the first place. It was canceled immediately and I got told from Standard bank this was done. All calls are recorded all the evidence is there. I sit out of pocket R13100 plus the bank charges over 2 weeks later with the same response everyday. Most emails get egnored and I sit on hold for long periods of time each day trying desperately to get my money back.

I had a phone call from standard bank the same day. Told them all them all the information. Nothing has been done to resolve the issue. Still getting egnored and given the same excuse. 2 and a half weeks later. They still don't take any ownership of their mistake. Absolutely disgusted.

After three weeks I finally had my money tracked and returned to my account. I can't thank Jamie Lee Halters of Standard bank international banking enough. It took her 2 hours to track my money and get back to me. Within one day the money was refunded into my account. She has given me much needed trust back into Standard Bank. She is a huge asset to Standank bank. Along with the gentleman that handle my query through hello Peter both of you have been outstanding. Taryn Brassey
