Standard Bank - increases charges, reduces service

<p>Standard Bank has recently closed two of its ATMs in the Joburg North East area, the one in Norwood and one in a gas station in Louis Botha Avenue</p> <p> </p> <p>It is becoming increasingly difficult to find an ATM without going into a busy shopping centre with all the hassle that involves.</p> <p> </p> <p>Yet, even as they save money by reducing the number of ATMs, they have the cheek to put the charges up. What about the extra petrol I have to burn to find a working machine!?!? Time to change banks???</p>

One wonders whether the people who reply actually bother to read the criticism.

The issues are clearly set out in the complaint. What more is needed?

Can we perhaps have a reply? Or is your job just to say "complaint responded to"?

This is another example of the shoddy work of the Bank and the disdain that it displays to its long-suffering clients.

Why do you need my name and account number to explain the reduction in ATMs in North East Joburg?

You have a formal complaint that is public - as is this correspondence. Please just answer it! This just makes it look worse, as though you are trying to avoid the issue.
