Standard Bank Chargeback - Pathetic Call Center

I have been trying to resolve 2 chargebacks on my account, and because I'm travelling, calling internationally isn't easy. I have to be transferred to 5 different people, be on hold for 30-60mins and then my call gets dropped. This happens constantly for the last 2 weeks. Emailing also does nothing, no reply. What kind of service do you allow us as customers that put our hard earned money in your bank? Pathetic, honestly and nobody takes accountability

I have just received ran email stating that I need to wait until the end of November for a resolution???? I have waited for a simple chargeback long enough, and now it will take over a MONTH to investigate??? It's easy to take my money, but takes a tremendous amount of time and effort to return it!!!?? Pathetic service, honestly this is why people move banks

This is now almost a WHOLE MONTH and you have not resolved my issue and I am STILL waiting for my money!! Today again I get another email asking if this was resolved from your team, I MEAN???!? I will be contacting the ombudsman if this isn't resolved by the end of today. Honestly, this is so bad, absolutely extreme lack of customer service etiquette and you certainly don't give a damn
