Impossible to get assistance in closing an account.

After being a customer for 38 years my partner has being attempting to close his account since 1st September. Being aware that this can only be done at a branch we have been to a branch in an attempt to make an appointment to close the account. We are in the COVID high risk group so queuing outside the branch where there is no social distancing is not an ideal situation. We were given a number to call and after calling the number we were given a reference number and told someone would call back . We are still waiting for the call. No-one seems interested in assisting us in closing the account

Weel you have only proven that Standard Bank has no regard for customers as they just send an automatically generated response and nothing further. So we went back to the bank and closed the account. Had to wait 90 mins to do it. What I find amazing is the consultant didn't even ask why after 38 years my partner is closing his account..... Says if all

Standard Bank may want to give the impression that the issue has been resolved but as a customer their response has not addressed the issues raised.
