Poor Customer Service from Standard Bank

For almost two years now, I have been trying to get Standard Bank to update my address in their system. I’ve gone to their branches more than five times, where I was assured each time that my address was updated successfully. Yet, every month, I continue to receive statements with my incorrect address.

After multiple branch visits and no results, I decided to call their customer support, only to be told—again—that I’d need to go back to a branch to resolve this issue!

This endless loop of misinformation and lack of accountability is incredibly frustrating. Standard Bank’s customer service and internal communication need serious improvement. Customers shouldn’t have to chase around like this just to update something as simple as an address. Extremely disappointed!

Good afternoon
It's another month, just received my statement with incorrect address AGAIN!
What's so difficult about updating my address that it has to go over 2 years?
Why is something so simple difficult for you to do?

By the way, nobody ever called me, though I also don't understand why they need to call, all I need is for you to update my address, it's as simple as that.

It’s over 6 months that you are sitting with this, this says a lot about your organisation.

Good morning
You guys are taking me for a fool, you always reply with the standard response and forget about it, how is it that you can't update my address since November 2024?
