STANDARD BANK - NOT 'INTERNATIONAL USER FRIENDLY'

I went to Standard Bank Thibault Square on the 1st and 2nd of August to change my OTP preference from SMS to email. I submitted the necessary forms and THIS WAS CONFIRMED as done before I left for Zimbabwe on the 3rd of August. Now that I’m here, the OTP preference still goes to my SMS, which I cannot access. I’ve been chatting with the bankers since yesterday and have been asked to call Digital Banking. I called and was put on hold for over 10 minutes AND STIL DID NOT GET ASSISTANCE. I can’t afford to keep making International calls as I cannot access my funds! Digital Banking should at least be able to give callbacks to international numbers! I did my part before leaving the country, yet I should still take steps to rectify this when I'm here. THIS IS FRUSTRATING!

So much for taking care of the issue. I've just spent USD 10 USD trying to get assistance and still NOTHING!

I finally got assistance! Thank you Teamo who called me back here in Zimbabwe and took the time to assist me. The female agent I spoke to last night did not bother to do the same and was not 'human enough' to understand my predicament, especially since this was not my fault.

Finally, a response! The last two messages were completely ignored when I needed assistance.

Kindly note, that your service was FAR FROM EXCELLENT! Your one agent, TEAMO, was reasonable and kind...the rest are a total disappointment! I will be closing my account on my return to South Africa.
