I am in Thailand do not reply that you tried to call me about this complaint!!!

Once again Standard Bank "covers itself in glory"!. The glory of total incompetence. I am living in Thailand for some months. I have been using your app for donkeys years and today changed my user name AT THE SUGGESTION OF YOUR APP to one supposedly safer. Now I cannot access my app on the phone because suddenly your app has 'sent' a code to my email address, which never arrives in my inbox so I can't access the phone app. I stopped using my Standard Bank credit card for online purchases, thousands of Rands in air tickets over the past few years because messages from your system for OTPs NEVER come through to my email address. I now put all online purchases through my ABSA credit card. Now your useless app has stopped me from accessing my account on my phone. DO NOT SEND ME MESSAGES ABOUT NOT BEING ABKE TO GET ME ON MY SOUTH AFRICAN CELL. I AM IN THAILAND. I REPEAT I AM IN THAILAND!

Hello Emma. You kindly assisted me with my problem last Thursday. I was authenticated by Mohammed Waida and the problem with my Standard Bank app was resolved.
Can you please tell me whether I have to be authenticated by every single Standard Bank department if I have a different enquiry.
Surely my successful authencation should be on my profile now?
