Incompetence at its best!

Standard Bank gave me a Credit Card under false pretenses of me being able to use the card to access the airport business lounge. Access to the lounge was denied. Now I want to pay the credit card and close it. On the banking app the card is not linked for me to pay the balance and close it. I have called Standard Bank to ask how do I pay for the card when the Banking App doesn't give me an allowance to do that. The Consultant just told me that she cannot link the card on the Banking App because apparently when I was given the card the biometrics were not taken, that is the reason why the card link cannot be completed. I am told that if I don't pay within the next 5 days, the balance will go up. Now they are making it my problem.

Why is Standard Bank's incompetency is placed on my shoulders? So I was given the card without Standard Bank concluding the process of handing the card over? Why must it be my problem now to go into the branch to tell them to conclude the process with biometrics? Standard Bank, you have created this mess, you fix it!
