Poor service from Standard bank

We are having a real bad experience with Standard Bank life insurance, my wife's late husband was laid to rest nearly 3 years ago. My wife are still waiting for the payment on his life insurance. First they declined the claim due to bogus unfounded reasons after 2 years of claiming they don't have medical records for which we had to assist them to obtain. We approached a lawyer after no assistance from ombudsman or legal dept in Standard bank was forth coming. Numerous phone calls to Manager-Patricia Dolz was made and countless promises by her was broken. She refused to provide her managers details to us or our lawyer. On 7 July 2021 she contacted us providing us with a letter which states they have reviewed the outcome and has approved the payout and it will be paid into our provide account within 7 to 14 days. Again nothing is forthcoming accept promises. I have been a client of Standard bank since 1981, I must however admit banks like Capitec make Standard bank look like ************ bank. Their service and care for customers are non existent. Their poor rating are highly deserved.

Reviewer Update
I think this just proves my point, the computer rep**** to my complaint and up to now nobody else bothered to follow this complaint up or contact me.
This is really pathetic service from such a large Company. They boast about 48 hour reply to a complaint, however they failed to say that a computer will do the reply and probably the investigation too. At least the computer will probably more friendly, unless programmed by Standard bank too.
Happy to say I have resolved the issue myself with no assistance from Standard bank Management and it will be the last time I will deal with them.
Good riddance.
