Pathetic Customer Service

I app**** for a personal loan at the Alex Mall branch on the 18 Feb 2025,ever since I've only been getting excuses.It clearly doesn't seem like they are interested in assisting me,as most of the time I have to call to get updates on the progress of my application.I even went to the branch today to speak to the branch manager Aphelele & she told me that my application is currently under investigation.So I'm not quite sure what are they investigating,all I want to know is if my application is still active & when can I get an outcome???Kindly use my primary email address for direct correspondence from the branch - *** or via my cell no - ***

All I'm asking for is an update on the progress of the investigation,it's already been week 3 and I don't think that an application can take so long to be finalised.Kindly provide me with an urgent update,as I don't think that it is fair that I must do constant follow-ups???

Did you manage to check with your investigations team if there are any progress,cause I don't think that it can take almost 3 weeks to validate my docs & verify my banking details?

I need an urgent response either via email or direct call

Where can I lay an official complaint against the poor service I'm receiving from the Alex Mall branch,in particular the consultant Advisor Diale & branch manager Aphelele Zide?They are offering the worst customer service,the manager even had the audacity to tell me on Mon when I visited the branch for feedback on my overdue personal loan application,why I don't apply with another bank for credit if I'm in a hurry.This is the worst service by far experienced by a bank,my colleagues at work have app**** for credit via Std Bank & have never waited so long.The only feedback received from the branch,is that my application is under investigation & that I should just wait for them to call me.I mean it's already been almost 3 full weeks & yet I'm not getting any clear indication whether my application is still active or declined???????
I need an answer asap,I've provided all the necessary docs as requested.I've given the branch the go ahead to verify my bank account with Capitec,since I'm been labeled as an alleged *****ster😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑

Standard Bank is such a reputable institution but they hire individuals that are damaging the brand's reputation.We as clients approach the bank for assistance but clearly based on my overall experience with the consultant Advisor Diale & branch manager Aphelele Zide,I don't think I wanna visit the Alex Mall branch ever again.What saddens me the most is that behind the scenes I'm being labeled as a "***** PERPERTRATOR" yet all my docs are authentic,I even gave them full consent to verify my bank statements,as well as make contact with my employer to verify if I'm employed...

All I've asked from day 1 is whether my application is approved or declined,up until now all I've received is emails & calls telling me about "internal processes" that I don't have a clue what they are referring to.I just want the bank to take me into confidence & provide me with the final outcome???

We are heading for a brand new week and yet,I've still not received any proper correspondence from your side.Will Std Bank be able to assist me with the loan yes or no???

I must say that your service levels have dropped tremendously based on the reviews I've seen,all I'm asking for is that you take me in confidence & reach out to me with a final verdict...

For the past 3 weeks all I've been getting is "that our team is looking into your application" why can't Std Bank take me into confidence as a Capitec client.I was asked to switch my account,but due to the *********** staff & poor customer service at Alex Mall branch especially the consultant Advisor Diale & branch manager Aphelele Zide,I will never advise anyone to switch to Std Bank.Can't believe that such a big commercial bank has dropped their standards because of hiring *********** staff,that can't keep a client updated on his application

Good day,are you able to confirm if my application is still active???
I have been asking this question since day 1 on this platform,doesn't seem like anyone is able to answer this question.
I'm absolutely disgusted & agitated at the way Std Bank as a whole is handling my application,I need funds urgently and if you aren't able to assist let me know asap...
