Non-responsive Business Bankers at Standard Bank

In July/August I opened a Sole Propietorship account with Standard Bank. I wanted to give access to my partner and I was advised that it woudl be better to contact my business bank after the account had been opened because trying to add another person so late into the application process would delay the opening of the account. So a few days after I had seuccsssfully opened th account, I called Standard Bank to arrange access for my partner. I wa sthen informed that I shoudl contact my business banker, Thamsanqa Mkhize. I emailed my so-called business banker on the teh 7th of August and to this day no response. I advise anyone who wants to do business banking to rather use another bank because I am not the first person to complain about non-responsive business bankers at Standard Bank. I know another lady who is now also looking for a different bank to do business with.

Is this some kind of joke? Its been 10 days and no-one has reached out to me; instead, you reached out on Hello Peter with an automated response. You have not bothered to contact me. At all .Thank goodness the business is a sole propiertorship for rental income because the lack of seriousness on your part is apalling. There was a lady on the I Love Fourways community group who posted about the same thing: your poor busines banking service. She received a ton of resoponses saying they should jump to FNB or Capitec. I don't think you guys will be up for any business banking awards any time soon, FYI.
