Money Grabbers

I have a a Standard Bank Consolidator cheque account which costs R49 per month which included among other benefits, free sms notifactions for"in app notifcations for My updates" - i don't fully understand what this is but in any event, I am now being charged R4.50 this. Just another money grabbing charge for something I did not ask and what is more galling, Standard Bank states that it is included in the montly fee I pay.

Reviewer Update
On 4 April I I received a mail from *****ba Tambuki which reads as follows :

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to look into your matter.
Please follow the below steps to register for the in app notification.
Sign in to the app
click on messages on the top right hand
click on the settings icon
switch on the my updates option
once you register you wont be charged any fee for my updates. Please let us know how it goes.

On the same day, I rep**** as follows :

I don't want to use the banking app - I have had endless difficulty with the following :
1 Signing into the app - doesn't allow me to sign in
2 Registering for the app - says username already taken.
Why is your bank forcing me to use something I don't want - why can't you resolve the issue from your side - if you can't assist, then you will be forcing me to move my account to a bank who is more understanding.
Please advise how you will resolve this problem

As at today,I have not had a reply!
