KOKSTAD standard bank employee involved in scandalous behaviour.

This is not really a review but an enquiry and complaint against an employee at Standard Bank who works at the Kokstad branch.

There is an individual from Kokstad that owes me and my family money and has been lying to us and telling us that monies from his standard bank account were deposited into our accounts and that standard bank has confirmed that they are having a problem with their internet banking and app. When I demanded proof of this he showed me an email sent to him by this employee with his standard bank email address confirming that standard bank is having problems with payments. This is a lie because I am also a standard customer and payments have never taken that long to reflect. This employee has now assisted and put his job at risk by confirming the above because the guy that owes us money has now confirmed that no money was ever deposited into our accounts.

I have the employee's name and surname together with the email but feel I cannot say at this point until I get confirmation from Standard Bank that their internet banking and payments were in fact delayed (from 14th December until 23rd December) and that what the employee was saying in the email is true/false.

I feel that it is very very unprofessional for a bank employee to assist a 'friend' to lie about something like this especially confirming same in writing when both individuals know that it is not true. I'm hoping standard bank will investigate this and ensure that it's employees are not involved in ********** activities.
