Non existent service delivery

My wife and I recently decided that we need to do a few things and we went to the Durban North branch on Saturday to see a consultant about our different products and how to best move forward with our plans and what would be the best financial decisions to make. We waited about 2hrs to be seen only to leave the bank in the same position we were in, They couldnt help us with anything and we were told that we have a banker and that person would be notified and would then contact me on Monday. Monday arrived and no communication at all from the bank so I sent a mail to the banker which is listed on my app only to be told that she was not aware of such and that she is only looking after the portfolio temporarily. I have multiple products with the bank and want to know whats the best way to proceed with what I would like to do. My response on email was of my dissatisfaction at the poor level of service and treatment. I then receive a email from a person whom is not listed on my profile. The person them emails to ask about a convenient time to call. I then rep**** this morning with a specific time but guess what... no call at all. Nothing so it appears that whilst you may have private banker its not for your convenience but its for theirs as they will call when they feel like it. They really don't care about clients that have been with them for more than 20 years. If you are looking for a bank that wants your business and that will treat you with dignity Standard bank is not for you!

How do you intend to resolve the issue of non service? The cold unapologetic response from the Prestige banker who has no idea what my query is and thinks they know without even asking. The lack of a apology in the first place instead of deflecting by the Escalations manager would have resolved the matter.

A simple email of good morning Mr L
please accept my apologies for not responding sooner how may I assist you? would have been sufficient but instead I received I wasn't aware and I am just looking after the portfolio temporarily and I will get a banker to call? What nonsense is that?

Even this generic response shows zero accountability and as I have asked how do you intend to better?
