Standard bank Card ***** Department

I have been banking with Standard bank for over 10 years and i'm so disappointed in the service. Money got taken out of my account in April with no otp or authorization from standard bank , my account was literally hacked and I had no idea . I waited over an hour on the phone just to block all my card and report this incident to Card ***** department , I went to saps to get a case no and sent all documents to them . This will be the 5th week that they don't give me feedback as to what's happening or when will I be getting my money . All I hear is that I must be patient and this is so upsetting because this was my whole entire salary that got taken and I must be patient and wait for 45 days . Its ridiculous even the saps are contacting me and asking for information about the case because the want to trace where it went and standard bank gives no response back . I'm just so disappointed !!!! Poor service and to wait to speak to a consultant for over an hour .

Reviewer Update
I finally got a call from standard bank ***** department and an email stating that they decline my claim stating that i gave the *****sters access to my acoount on the 2nd of march , yet money was taken out of my account on the 31st march . I'm just so distraught and upset that they are saying my money can't be traced and they cant give me back my money. How can a bank be this nedgligent this was my entire salary that was gone with no otp and no aurthorization . I'm not asking standard bank for their money i'm fighting for my own money i had to take loan to pay my bills thinking that standard bank will give my money back , i pay bank charges monthly so this kind of thing does not happen,what happened to protecting the consumer from unconscionable, unfair, unreasonable, unjust or otherwise improper trade practices; and deceptive, misleading, unfair or *****ulent conduct. I am just angry that this happening not only to me and but other people and the bank is not acknowledging that this is their fault and they are not taking suitable measures to help people. STANDARD BANK TERRIBLE !!!! I WILL BE CHANGING BANKS
