Standard Bank is a joke!

My wife has been trying for the last 5 hours to get Standard Bank to adjust our monthly EAP limit so that we can transfer funds out of our current account. She has , thus far, dealt with 5 different individuals at Standard Bank, gone through 5 "security checks' to establish her identity. It is an absolute fiasco and makes a mockery of the fact that we are in 2023 where technology is supposed to be so advanced. We have dealt with a bunch of buffoons who are totally incapable of helping us1 Simpler, Better, faster...should be More Complicated, Worse and Not at All!

Mmm, seems like we are not "out of the woods" yet with Standard Bank. It would be funny if it wasn't so irritating BUT, after we made a large transfer on Friday, which required our EAP limit to be raised, two things happened (1) my wife's card was blocked by Standard bank ***** dept! lol....which took quite a while to resolve on Sunday. Now (2) the latest fiasco, because we transferred a larger than normal amount from our current account, we cannot reset the EAP limit back to what it was, because the bank say..."you have exceeded this limit already by virtue of the larger transfer"...what a complete mess!
