HASSLING FOR A PAYMENT LIMIT INCREASE

I emailed private bankers to request for a payment limit increase. Two emails were sent, about 3-4 hours apart. When I finally received a call, it was a man who asked me a few question and then told me that he was transferring me to people who could assist me. Having spent about 3 minutes with him, I went on to spend the next 20minutes listening to music. Just when i was about to terminate the call, the guy who called me retrieved my call to apologise for keeping me long. What is troubling is that one pays for this service regularly. However, recent experiences suggest that the level of service has deteriorated.

So, Standard Bank's response was only a PR stunt because thus far, no one has surfaced to assist me. Honestly, we are being taken for a ride

What is most disturbing is that the number that is linked to a so called "Private Banker" on the Standard Bank app, "doesn't exist" when one tries to call it. This is unexpected from such a big institution.

At the time when you wrote your recent response, I had already loaded my phone with airtime. Consequently, I had to endure 25min of listening to music before I could get through to a consultant, who then assisted me. However, fit is clear that the Private Banker thing that we are being charged for, is a ****. This service no longer exist. When I finally searched for a number that I could call, I had written about 5 emails. No private banker contacted me. I endured your process like any other person who doesn't have that service
