Pathetic service from Standard Bank

I’ve had a VAF account with Standard Bank since September last year and in addition to my debit order every month I also pay a lump sum towards my account. In August I paid an additional R15000 toward my account however it did not reflect in my VAF account . I queried it with the VAF department and Naomi advised me that the money is not allocated and she will use the credit to reduce my term. After 2 weeks I received an email notifying me that my term has been reduced and the matter is resolved however when I looked at my statement the R15000 still did not appear. I queried further with both Naomi and the manager at the Stanger branch as well as the prestige bankers to resolve this. They informed me that it is a system error and assured me that the matter will be escalated and resolved. I then started receiving Emails and SMSs from Standard Bank’s attorneys (MacRobert Attorneys)stating that my account has been handed over for being in arrears. I lodged a complaint and the prestige bankers sent a letter to the attorneys stating that my account is not in arrears and they are investigating the issue. Even after the letter was sent I still received emails from MacRobert as well as another attorney. It has been a month and a half and Standard Bank has not resolved this and I have not got any positive feedback regarding the matter. I’m very disappointed with the service I received , Standard Bank is definitely not a reliable bank !

Hi

The matter is not resolved completely- my instalment amount is still incorrect. Geraldine was aware of it during the investigation and I did advise her now that it is still incorrect but I didn’t receive a response from her or the VAF team

This has been going on for 1 and a half months now and Geraldine kept telling me that it’s a unique issue and they don’t know how to resolve it but once you guys intervened it was suddenly solved in less than 2 days

I still haven’t received any communication from Geraldine or the VAF team after sending them emails. The service from them is really poor and unprofessional

I highly doubt it is being prioritised. How can your team not know how to solve a simple issue. They keep saying that they don’t know how to fix it and they’re trying different options. How hard is it to CORRECT AN INSTALMENT AMOUT ON THE STANDARD BANK APP . It should not be taking more than 3 weeks. It means that your team is ***********. I will be lodging a complaint with the ombudsman- kindly provide me with the contact details
