STANDARD BANK HAS FAILED ME AGAIN

Told to collect my expired UCOUNT card at my local branch. The notice to me said bring your latest proof of address - which I did. In did not have my ID Card but the "Consultant" looked up my banking details on their system and confirmed it was me - checked with my thimbprint - it was me!! She then said that she had to veriofy my details with UCOUNT..... they asked me 2 questions, to which I gave a wrong answer and didn't know the other. I FAILED THE TEST. Couldn't collect the card..... I told them to cut up the old expired one and walked out annoyed. On top of everything, their is a Cheque card also waiting there to be collected. BUT I FAILED. Previously I failed on a question relating to a business I owned 45 yeard ago. I have banked with Standard Bank for 50 years, am 77 years of age and am looking for a bank with user-friendly and up-to-date systems that can treat me with respect that I can bank with. Any suggestions?
