I WAS DE*****ED STANDARD BANK WORST BANK EVER

I have been a loyal Client of Standard Bank for over 15yrs. But the disdain I received from the ***** department and management at Standard Bank left me with so much anger & regret as to why I banked with them. On the 20th June 2022 at Festival Mall I was ****** of my phone. I blocked my phone and sim immediately. The ********* accessed my online banking managed to unlock my Standard bank account and drained all my savings (R150000.00). I am unemployed since 2020 June because of the Pandemic. I am a mom with 2 kids. I Have been violated by the ********* as well as Standard bank because they have no idea as to how my account was accessed and all they keep telling me is SORRY that my money is gone. Management sent me an email expressing how crime has gone up and they have no idea how my account was accessed and how smart ******** are.......... I was left feeling might as well have kept my money under my mattress. I trusted Standard Bank with my money and now I am about to loose my house to the same bank and yet my money was lost in there trust. I am disappointed in Standard Bank and there systems that safe guard crime because they are not doing there Job and me and my Kids will soon be homeless. What do I do?????????????????? WORST OF ALL the Constable investigating my case is also struggling to find assistance from the ***** department... I never received email confirmation of payment or a call to verify if I was really the one making the payments.

I assume this is a automated message which has no value to me. I want my money back.
Standard bank is just as bad as the ******** to me and you are a ****.
I want people to know the kind of Bank you are and the service you provide is the worst ever and should not trust you with there hard earned money because there are no safety measures @ Standard bank.
You need to improve and get innovative safety against cyber crime and not put ure hands up and say you don’t know.
We trust Standard Bank with our money and is not save with you. No where does it say in your policy document bank at own risk.

The Fact that you would reply privately after mentioning my name and Surname now is surprising.
I never once mentioned my full name and you guys did and now you want to reply privately with a "regret how the matter turned out"

When will I get my money back who Is paying me back?
Standard bank has failed to protect my money now you tell me my money is gone and all your managers keep sending me are apology emails.
That will not feed my children...
How did they access the Standard bank app ?
Clearly there is no safety on the app, everything with you guys is at your own risk.
Standard Bank does not protect its customers
Standard Bank is the WORST Bank in South Africa.

Escalate it all you want that is not my concern, my money is how did someone gain access if the the app is password protected I have never shared my pin not even my partner.
Why where there NO SAFETY measures in place if Standard Bank if you are aware as you put it "of the increase of cyber crimes" and you chose to do nothing about it and yet you expect clients and loyalty from your clients.... after we have been ******.

Someone with answers better ANSWER.

I have never given my name & surname that's you or this platform.
With that said - Public service announcement do not bank with ................... If you do so at your own risk basically that's what it comes down to. YOU can not trust them with your money and life's savings , they are just as BAD as the ********* only difference is they have a office, logo.

A public service announcement (PSA) is a message in the public interest disseminated by the media without charge to raise public awareness and change.
