Rude and Uncaring
My mother needs a new debit card as her old one has expired. We phoned Standard Bank customer care more than once, only to have machine that does not recognise her ID on two different phones. We then got through to a very rude customer service agent at about 12h18, who failed more than once to listen because she kept interrupting whenever we tried to answer her questions. We had to answer the same questions multiple times as a result.
Then she tells us it is impossible to order a card online and that my mother has to go to a Standard Bank branch even if she has mobility problems and is in pain. Tomorrow morning, I will take my mother, while she is in pain, to a branch so they can give her a new debit card.

02 Feb 2026, 08:37My mother and I have come to a Standard Bank branch. We parked about 50m from the entrance. It took at least six minutes to to the entrance. We could not get to the back of the queue as it would have been more pain ans struggle for my mother. She was also off balance and trying to hold by tears. Congratulations, Standard Bank, on how your rude al centre agent treats 87 year olds.
