Poor service from Standard Bank

Microsoft debited my Account twice for my annual renewal. R1999.00. Tried desperately to contact Microsoft. They block any contact with them. I reported it to Standard Bank on 22 Jan 2026. together with documentation. Today they advised me they need to contact Microsoft and it will be resolve d by 10 Feb 2026. what next? I need my money and offered to sign an indemnity to hold the bank harmless., but they refused. I have been a client of the bank for approx 50 years. Poor service!

Why not today? This is long outstanding matter. Standard Bank is withholding R1999.00 of my funds, due to no fault of my own. As mentioned previously I have been prepared to sign an indemnity to hold Standard Bank harmless, but this has been ignored. I need my funds urgently!!!

As a client of Standard Bank for more than 50 years, I would have thought they would have been more considerate of my position!!!
