NO credit for any contractor at Standard Bank

Do not apply for any credit at Standard Bank if you are an independent contractor or a fixed term contractor. Even if you have been with a customer for 8 and a half years like I have been, you will be declined. Standard Bank discriminate against contractors yet their website does not state this before applying. They will drag you along and even ask documentation and then decline with a contradictory decline letter with the wording "Customer failed Standard Bank due diligence. Application does not meet all verification minimum criteria". I will be escalating this to the Credit Regulator for investigation and also request stats from the Credit Regulator.
