Standard Bank – Charged for Replacement Card I Never Received

I am extremely disappointed with the service I received regarding my bank card.

I received SMS notifications from Standard Bank informing me that my card was ready for collection at the branch. When I went to collect it, I was told that the card had already been cancelled. This cancellation was never communicated to me, and I never received the card.

Today, I spoke to an agent named Shantal, who informed me that I would need to pay for a new card. I do not understand why I should be charged for a replacement card when I never received the original one in the first place.

It is unfair to expect a customer to pay for a mistake that was not theirs. I am requesting that Standard Bank urgently investigate this matter and waive the replacement card fee.

I would appreciate prompt assistance and proper resolution.

Thank you for your response and apology.
I appreciate the acknowledgment of the issue. However, I would like clarity on how this matter will be resolved. I was informed that I need to pay for a replacement card, even though I never received the original card that was later cancelled without my knowledge.

Please confirm whether the replacement card fee will be waived and advise on the next steps to ensure I receive my card without any additional charges.

I look forward to your prompt resolution of this matter.

Thank you for your response regarding my complaint about the card costs.
I note that the amount has been debited from my account. As previously discussed, this charge was disputed, and I am awaiting confirmation that the matter will be resolved and the amount reversed accordingly.
Please urgently advise on the status of this issue, as I would like this matter to be fully resolved.

I am following up on my previous complaint as I have still not received any communication or feedback regarding this matter.
The last consultant I spoke to advised that I should respond here if I was charged. However, I have not received any call, email, or update from Standard Bank to date.
Kindly provide an urgent update on the status of my complaint and advise on the way forward.
