Standard Bank complaint

I called Standard Bank Customer Care on the 23rd of February, 7th of March and today, 25th of March, for which I have reference numbers. My query is I cannot access statements or transactions for my credit card, on the 7th of March call I was told that there is a technical problem with secondary cards which they are working on, this was confirmed when I called today again. I am extremely frustrated and honestly cannot understand why this problem has not been sorted out for 3 months!!!! Each time I called the operator wanted to transfer me to another division, today I was told I would be transferred to digital or complaints, which I refused, and stated that she should find out exactly what is going on, in whichever division was necessary, and call me back with a solution, I was put on hold again, then suddenly Sphiso is explaining there is a technical problem etc etc and I must register my husband, who is the main card holder, on internet banking, I was irate and explained that why should Standard Bank's lack of technical skills be my problem and I must sort it out instead of the bank, this is shocking service or lack thereof!! I have been a customer for over 40 years but clearly this means nothing.

You've told me my query is 'in the right hands' and will be 'resolved timeously.......' - WHEN is this going to be resolved? Noting all the correct marketing jargon does NOT help me - I want action not words and I've been very patiently calling since the 23rd of February to no avail!!

Hi Standard Bank Hello Peter and Social Medis Team

I did receive an email from | *****ba Wendy Tambuki - Social Media Moderator, Hello Peter, Social Media Service SA, stating " Please note that it is currently a regulatory requirement however we are in the process of developing a compliant solution for secondary card holders in line with regulatory requirements" and "the query will be closed from our side" - I cannot believe after all these months of calls and emails that I get told once again that Standard Bank's technical/digital issues become my problem and I still cannot access transactions as I've been doing for in excess of 15 years, plus the query is now 'closed'!! My query is NOT resolved and therefore should not closed!

Further, I have received a few sms's stating my query has been resolved and I would be contacted with details, noting the Customer Care line No. *** - I have not been contacted and my query is NOT resolved.

My query will be resolved when I can access credit card transaction on my internet banking profile.

Regards

Cheryl Monni

As per above - I have to date not received any feedback and I still cannot access the credit card transactions on internet banking so my query from the 23rd of February still not resolved! As I have been a client for over 40 years and received zero assistance with this simple request I will be moving my personal accounts to another bank.

Hi Cheryl

Please note that the email received was the feedback provided by our card team. As the bank they are rule and regulation that we need to follow.

  kindly request this information from the primary cardholder. Alternatively, the primary cardholder can provide a formal instruction (by email or telephone) to the Bank to provide you with the information you need.
