Reverse payment made to wrong beneficiary

I accidentally choose the wrong beneficiary and payment went into an old, closed, credit card account. I was informed that I had to wait 10 days to see if it reverses automatically (which didn't happen). Now I am told the funds can not be reversed via phone and I have to take the beneficiary to the bank for a physical verification. Crazy! And it is going to cost me R400 in fees! Sure it was my mistake. But seriously?! Being a customer for 20+ years, being treated like this, is very upsetting.

Hi All

It took an unexpected long time to resolve my issue, with the holidays not helping. However, Standardbank's complaint support, Clint Petersen, was extremely helpful and in a rather complex situation, involving a 3rd party, able to get the issue resolved.

I can't say that all Standardbank employees know what they are doing, but Clint truly upheld Standardbank's values.

Thank you!
Corne
