Poor Customer Service at Standard Bank

I have app**** for a RCP increase with Standard Bank a week ago and I was told it has been approved, the call Centre agent has been sending me up and down to branches for OFV and now I am told there is a processing error since yesterday 05/02/2024. Are we saying a bank so big is struggling with a system glitch for over 24 hours. If this is not rectified by today , unfortunately I will have to take my business elsewhere.

The consultants name is Khethiwe Serite from Standard Bank

I am currently stranded as we speak.

Hi

I think you as a bank are all full of empty promises and I will say this on a public platform " We can assure you that your matter is now in the right hands.", which high hands because the person that called me on Wednesday the 7th February 2024 said they will have this sorted by end of business around 16:30. She also never called and basically made an empty promises as a representative of Standard Bank Hellopeter team.

I have been on one spot since Monday because I don't have funds and now they broke my window trying to hijack me, I eventually had to call the police because I dont have any means of towing the car to any safe area.

If this is really how you treat your customers especially when they have consistently mentioned they dont feel safe where they are currently stuck, I am very dissapointed and I believe the public needs to know they you as a bank has

1. Put your client at risk
2. **** on every phone call and said you are waiting for IT yet the process was not even initiated
3. Made empty promises on each and every phone call

I have been very loyal to this bank for over 20 years and now am left with no choice but to leave and take my monthly salary and everything elsewhere.

A processing error for 4 days? That is ridiculous and really unprofessional IT services if that is the case

We are still saying we cant fix an IT Glitch and putting our client at risk.


Regards
Xolani
