Standard Bank ATMs sometimes ***** money from the withdrawal

Today I had to wait 3 minutes at the Standard Bank ATM before it finally showed an error screen. Almost an hour later I receive an SMS that the R1,000 I tried to withdraw but did not receive has been taken from my account. I checked on internet banking and the money has in fact been taken from my account.

This is not the first time than a Standard Bank ATM has ****** money from my withdrawal, but it is the first time that it has ****** the full amount.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a better bank?

This time the inconvenience you provide was accompanied by taking R1,000 from my account that does not belong to you. Can I expect any more from your company on this issue than a copy-pasted apology?
