Horrible service

I am highly annoyed at this point with Standard Bank. I make my WIFI payments everymonth via easypay using and instant EFT which goes through fine no mater what time. On Saturday i made my payment as usual but the funds never reached its destination. i been trying to call and no joy. i left messages for call back no joy, i sent an email still no joy. im finally connected to a chat agent name Teboho telling me my payment was deducted but the public holidays affected it. Saturday 26th April 2025 was not a public holiday so how. i made another payment on Wednesday 30 April 2025 which went through just fine with Thursday 01 may 2025 being a public holiday. I requested my money be refunded and he tells me its going to cost me R310 to recall the payment and there is no guarantee ill get the money back. How do we trust banks with our funds when they also trying to **** and rob us. All i want is my R447 returned to my account

Still not a resolution or an answer to my issue just like the chat agent, this is an automated response which does not give joy to anyone. if you look through standard bank complaint the same across the board its automated

So my final feedback from the bank is basically we don't care sort yourself out. I got a call on Saturday 03/05/2025 and was advised the money should reflect on Monday 05/5/2025 this is a payment made on 26/04/2025. Afrihost cannot trace the payment and the person this was given to is conveniently on leave and her OOO is incorrect so no one knows when she is back. I regret changing from FNB to standard bank because they are simply useless and don't care about their customers. Really would not advise anyone to open an account with them. My daughter needs a bank account and i will definately not take her to standard bank that is for sure. Wish there was an option for - stars
