STANDARD BANK DONT CARE ABOUT THE SMALLER CLIENTS

Dear Standard Bank,

The treatment I have received from Standard Bank has been shocking my bank account was block as a big company that is a Standard Bank client reported me to the ***** department because it was a big company it took them 5 minutes to block at 9pm at night. They were able to get through to a department that I have been block from. In addition Standard Bank never contacted me or smsed me to date I have had to call in and to date have spent 300 minutes in airtime I have been to the branch twice and waiting 1 and a half hours each time and been to the police station spending hours trying to resolved.

In addition both myself and the big company made transactions to each other and based on a Standard Bank consultant I could report them for ***** for taking my money which Standard Bank could verify. I reported them and it has fallen on deaf ears.

My account is still block and unfortunately I don’t have anyone to borrow me money and I don’t have petrol money, food for my kids and my son needs to go to the doctor. I don’t even have bread to feed my family and Standard Bank care all they care about is the big company.

I have been in tears, missing work to sort out the issue and unfortunately I won’t be able to go to work tomorrow and will have to take unpaid leave.

It took the Big Company 5 minutes to block the account without any proof Standard Bank still can’t tell me what ***** was committed. last night a consultant informed my account would be shortly I am still waiting for a simply phone call.

STANDARD BANK DOESN’T CARE ABOUT THE MAN IN THE STREET ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS WHO HAS MORE MONEY.

I AM NOW REQUESTING THAT ………….. BE BLOCK FOR TAKING MY MONEY AND I WOULD LIKE IT DONE IN THE 5 MINUTES LIKE THE BIG COMPANY I HAVE REPORT STANDARD BANK TO THE OMBUDSMAN AND TO THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION.

I AM A HARD WORKING FATHER WHO FEELS LIKE A FAILURE AS I CAN’T BUY BREAD.

I MIGHT BE REPEATING MYSELF HOWEVER I AM JUST SO UPSET.

This is unacceptable it took the Big Company 5 minutes to block my account with our being escalated or investigated. I sent through all documents even proof from the Big Company that my account is in order with them and nothing was done wrong and we going onto day 3 and Standard Bank can’t sort out my account.

In addition why is the The Big Companies accounts not be blocked yet?

This proves that Standard Bank doesn’t care about me even thou I have a family to feed.

Now I am really ****ed off now I was at the branch yesterday to ask if my PureSave account would work they said yes and issued a card. I managed to get someone to help me with money to take my son to the doctor and now it says that account has limited features and I can’t use the money.

Well I will believe it when I see Standard Bank hasn’t had the decency to sms or contact me to say my account is being blocked and I still don’t have an explanation. I spent 300 minutes on the phone and every consultant can’t give me any answers.

Why can’t my account be unblocked? It should take you 5 minutes like the company who reported me took to block my accountb

To Standard Bank,

After 2 and a half days I received my first call as to my account was block based on the charges given to me but *** from Standard Bank who do not play Poker online. After informing Standard Bank that the charges laid against me are ******* it is falling on deaf earns.

I was reported by PokerBet for playing Poker on their site with the same IP address where I won R 110 000.00 . This can’t be the case as a Poker Site has software to prevent this as players would be able to manipulate the out of the game.

Standard Bank are showing favour to PokerBets as they are a corporate client and don’t care about people on the street.

Standard Bank have promised me to send me documents which still hasn’t been done so I can attempt to get a court order to have my account unblocked.

If what I am saying is true every who plays on PokerBet complete a charge back form for your money to be refunded..
