*********** personnel

Good day

I just registered a business and one of the requirements after registering a business is that you need a business account. So someone advised me to open one with standard bank. I have a personal account with ABSA but than because of the advice i went ahead to Standard Bank Vereeniging on 14 November 2018 to open the account. I was helped by a lady called Lenie Maritz and she told me that i need to open the account in the Free State because my proof of address states that i come from the Free State, of which i asked her why because i'm renting out a place here in Vereeniging and she told me thats the law of Standard Bank. I believed in it so much that i drove to Kroonstad on Saturday 17 November 2018 to open that business account. I got proof of confirmation of the account, than earlier today on 19 November 2018 i went back at the Vereeniging branch of which i was told that i will have to collect my card upon arrival between 5-6 working days at Kroonstad where i opened the account. I than asked the manager there regarding the address issue and everything of which she told me that there is no such a thing as that. So basically i wasted my whole petrol going to Kroonstad and back and also wasted my Saturday because Ms/Mrs Lenie Maritz refused to open an account for me because of my address. So the reason i'm writing this review is that i would like for that whole process to be canceled because i no longer wish to do business with Standard Bank as my money and time was wasted because of their *********** stuff. email: **********
