Shocking Service

I needed to open a current account to link to my savings which could not be done on Internet Banking. On 4 August I stood in a queue outside Menlyn Park Standard Bank from 09h00 to 14h30. All clients stood in the same queue, which snaked all the way down the passage. No chairs and no separate line for Pensioners. 5 1/2 hours to deposit into YOUR bank. Shocking!!

Reviewer Update
This reply is not good enough as your problems are due to the fact that you have closed so many branches which really concerns me and makes me wonder if I should be banking elsewhere? Do the decent thing for your clients and at least hire a 100 plastic chairs for each of your open branches so your clients can sit down during the 5+ hours wait. Now I have the daunting task of collecting my bank card and waiting another 5 hours. I shall be taking my fold-out chair. #stillveryangry #over60yearold
