Push from Pillar to Post with zero resolution.

Good day Standard Bank, I need help urgently,

As I am spending a lot of my time in Mauritius, I am using the Standard Bank App a lot to pay people and to transfer money etc.

My problem is that when SB sends an OTP to approve a payment it goes to my SA cell number 082……30, which is fine for when I am in SA, but the cell network I am with (Capitec) doesn’t have a roaming agreement with Emtel in Mauritius, so I never get the OTP’s. I then selected to change the OTP send method to email , but was shocked to see it was an email address that I haven’t used for 20 years! ( k……***)

Unfortunately this cannot be changed by myself.

I then established a “chat” session with “Caitlin “ on the help chat and she said that this needs to be done at branch level. I cannot come into the branch as I am in Mauritius till March next year.

Please can you change the email address to the one registered with SB ,

My request emails are being pushed around all over Standard bank, but no one can resolve the ludicrously simple task of changing the long outdated email address.

Thank You !
Standard Bank returned my call and I was put through to the correct dept, who managed to change the email address.
After all the frustration, I am very grateful to now have it rectified.
Thank you to those involved, I am relieved to be able to pay my creditors.
