Standard Bank

More than 3 weeks ago I was phoned at 11.50 on a Friday night whilst in bed asleep (by STD Bank ***** dept.) I was asked if i had made a purchase of electricity in the amount of R3200 on my debit card. I told them I had not, the card was with me & i don't buy prepaid electricity. They said it would be investigated & let me know. I went to my branch on 3 different occasions, reset my profile & received new card for which the bank charged me R145. last week I was phoned to tell me the bank will only pay me back R1100. When i complained & said i would go to the banking ombudsman the lady said in that case nothing would be paid until the case was finalized I said i was desperate for my funds & would be forced to accept their offer. This is sheer black mail on the back of a greedy & disgusting policy of cheating the people who suffer as they don't have the means to defend themselves. I am 72 years old & live on a very small monthly amount, this has hurt me very badly This bank is a total disgrace with absolutely nothing going for it. Not even there service. I have never heard back from the bank still cant get into the banking app I STILL have not received a cent from these mongrels

despite your response to my complaint i have yet to receive my money back or even the courtesy of being contacted to explain what is going on.
there is little doubt you are the worst bank in South Africa, staffed by *********** clowns from the top to the bottom. Good manners prevent me from using the description i feel for you bottom feeders
