Standard bank *****

I have had the worst experience with standard bank and now I wont be able to go home in see my family, Because they decided to block my account just because I deposited R34000.00 to settle my RCP loan and R12 000.00 to try and purchase a desktop PC. They called me on the 13th and said they detected ***** on my account and I explained to the lady the money was try and purchase a PC via OZOW.ME and I can only top up with R3000.00 at a time because that is their limit. After the lady finished speaking an said okay she understand, I thought everything was sorted, little did I know my account was frozen since, and I was not even told it was frozen, I have called their department 3 times and I was told case has been escalated, sent and email and I was told a consultant will call me. Its funny how they don't care about their clients and leave you hanging. Couldn't sent money for Groceries to my Aunt in Natal and now they must fend or themselves, seems like I wont be able to spend Christmas with them, while the same investigation team will be going on Holiday and having fun with their Families. I have never been so traumatized by this bank.

Good day,

I have been waiting for the so called team to call me the whole week, no one has even bothered to call me even once, this is the 3rd time this case has been escalated. after being with you guys for 13years and I am being treated like a ********. I guess they still wont bother calling me as they are busy packing the bags to go spent time with their families whilst I can go and see mine for Christmas, really this has been the utmost worst experience ever.

What a horrific experience, no one came back to me with regards to my account. If you had bothered to call me, I was going to provide you with the emails and bank statements that the money was from my provident fund payout from Discovery, and then you call yourselves a "Client Centric Bank" that's nonsense, I Had to borrow money from people to go home and now I promised to pay them back this week, but still my account is still blocked. Hai shem!!! thank you standard bank

I really do not know what's hard for your ***** department to just send an email which will not even take 5 minutes, to this date my OZOW.ME account is still blocked and they are waiting for your guy's fruad department to send an email, and no one from them has ever bothered to call me. Now I can't even pay my son's school fees. It's truly frustrating..
