Standard Bank is a waste of time

I clicked on the apply now button on Clearscore for a loan, since Standard Bank had a 'special offer.' I was called by AXOLILE MATSHISI who took me through the process and then said I was approved for a credit card with a limit of R30,000. He also sent through the credit agreement after the conversation. Then, when I went to the branch in Greenstone to see if the card had been delivered, they said the card application had been declined. So what is actually happening? In the same time I have struggled with this nonsense, I app**** for and received a credit card in two days from Discovery Bank? Why would you let me go through the process, approve the credit card, send the agreement, only for the branch to say I have been declined? Why waste a person's time like this?

10 days later and the issue is still not resolved after more back and forth. How do you get new clients if this is your level of customer service? Never have I ever experienced such horrible service from a bank.
