False promises by useless Standard Bank

I called Standard Bank 72hrs ago stating that my account has been debited twice by an airline. Upon having this discussion with the call Centre agent I was advised that my money would be reversed in 48hrs. The sum totals R3690, this is a significant amount of cash that has gone “missing” from my account. Standard Bank is disappointing, I was overseas for 3 weeks and when in Malaysia I got stuck at the airport due to my standard bank card not functioning. I had enabled it to transact in all the 4 countries I had visited but in Malaysia I couldn’t withdraw cash at all. Upon calling standard bank I got no assistance, instead I was told the “travel team” didn’t work on Sunday’s and thus team leaders from transactional banking had no insight as to how foreign transactions worked. I have a Banker whom I don’t even know, this bank is very primitive and rigid. Discovery Bank and Bank Zero couldn’t have come soon into the market, standard bank is most certainly loosing my business.

You still haven’t called me nor resolved this quiry. Standard bank I pay a premium for a prestige banker whom I don’t even know. Resolve this quiry I’m escalating this to the banking ombudsman. My partner is Head of an editorial team in print media. I’m going public with this. You are very arrogant and inefficient. I want my money returned to my account.
