Standard bank beyond useless

I have had a business banking account with standard bank for over 30 years. A month ago my online banking profile stopped working. When, after 2 hours on the phone to standard bank, it was "restored", I no longer had access to my bank accounts - only to a credit card which I do not use. The "assistance" from the bank was beyond pathetic, and completely ineffective. I still do not have access to my bank accounts after weeks of correspondence and phone calls. The quality of service has been completely abysmal. In years of doing business online I haven't experienced anything quite this bad.

Reviewer Update
So, here's the latest.
Someone from standard bank actually called me because of this review.
He proceeded to waste 5 minutes of my time supposedly trying to establish that I was the right person.
After answering a rather stupid set of questions, I was then told that I had not successfully passed his identification process.
The whole process was fairly typical of the kind of inefficiency I have been experiencing regarding this issue for a month now. I would actually be curious to know what supposed information he had about me that conflicts with the facts that I know about myself.
I ended the conversation at the point where he wanted to restart the process.
I think I just need to move to another bank. This is obviously a waste of time.
