MyMo account online application on your website is false advertising

Hey Standard Bank - your website says I can open up an account online. I have a bond account with you and only want a transactional account so tried the link for a MyMo that very clearly says "apply online". No matter what I do it tells me your link is false as it ends up with "go to a branch to apply". Do your IT people not check things through properly? Does anyone sit and check things as if they were the customer? The last thing I want to do in LockDown is to go into a branch! I bet you if I went for one of the more costly accounts it would allow me to open the account online. Even your call centre is confused as one person says that I cannot open the thing online and another says I can open it online and specify that the card is delivered to me.

Reviewer Update
OK so it was only resolved after a number of installs and deletes of the app and my profile. HOWEVER, I only opened the account online as at the time of first trying to do this I called your help line and converted our bond account to an access bond. At the same time I asked how I could see this account online. I was told I should open a card account and then call back in and the access bond account could then be linked to the card account. After a week of frustration to get the card account to happen online I managed this yesterday. Today I called to link and guess what...... NO NO NO - WE ABSOLUTELY CANNOT LINK AN ACCESS BOND TO A CARD ONLINE - YOU HAVE TO GO IN TO A BRANCH TO DO THAT. Thanks for wasting a week of my time Standard Bank. Try getting your staff to all sing off the same song sheet with the correct information. I must now put myself and my family at risk by going out in lockdown to collect a card from one consultant who will then send me to another consultant who can link the bond to the current account. What a complete waste of time.
