Pathetic Customer Service from Consultants and Management!

I have been a victim of ***** on 17/01/2024 for R20 000 and 19/01/2024 for R27 000 on my Standard Bank Credit Card. I have contacted the bank on 19/01/2024 and reported the *****.

The Bank immediately stopped my card and ordered a new one and also blocked my online banking. I've been given a lot of different turn around times from different consultants every time I've called in. The bank doesn't have empathy towards their clients. I wasn't given any call in regards to my ***** case unless I called in.

The bank consultants promise to have someone from management call you back at a certain time, that doesn't work so you have to call them back to REMIND them to call you back.

This bank is very unprofessional and *********.

The bank did their investigation on the first amount taken from me and told me that declined a refund because the company that took my money was from WSB, a gambling company.

The bank allowed the transaction to go through my account and then I received an automated voice call asking if I had made a transaction, 7 hours later.

The management and consultants if this company cannot carry out their designated duties. They are all confused of the basic functions of their company.

STANDARD BANK IS A NO GO BANK. I will be changing my bank to another bank and I will surely ask my family and colleagues to do the same.

This bank will never help get a refund of your hard earned money!

PATHETIC!

Good day, this is to advise the public that I haven't got an resolution from Standard Bank as yet. They have promises that isn’t fulfilled. Poor customer service and management. A pathetic bank to do business with, I will definitely be closing my account with them asap! This bank allows money to get ****** from your account and will never help get the money back. They are not for you!
