Serious security / ***** Issues with Standard Bank

Standard Bank has a serious ***** issue. Last year I eventually closed my credit card account due to continuous ***** occurring on the account (transactions processed without security approvals - i.e. the bank processing transactions wide of security protocols meant to protect the account. I had to complain on Hello Peter to get my money back. Now it is the turn of my cheque account. Same story. Cancel the card, need to go to the bank for a new temporary card, wait ages for my money to be returned after a lengthy ***** investigation. 7 working days for a new card to be sent to me. Time to close all business with Standard Bank as their systems are insecure and their remediation processes are stuck in the last century. Pathetic!

....and so it goes with Standard bank, one week later and no progress on my complaint. My money not returned and nobody has contacted me to explain how money is taken from my account without my authorisation.
Mark my words, once the investigation is complete and Standard Bank return my money, I will have to write another complaint about them not returning the international transaction fees charged as part of the original transaction (lesson learnt from the past 2 similar complaints).
