Standard bank not safe as people debit our accounts without authorisation

Dear Peter

I am not happy with standard bank. On the 6th of January 2025, AVIS did an unauthorised debit of R12, 281.43 and R24,275.22 from my cheque account. On the 13th of January, Avis did another unauthorised debit of R24, 275.22 from my account even though i had replaced the cheque card that they used to debit on the 6th. I replaced the cheque card so that my account will not be debited with unauthorised transactions but to my surprise my account got debited through an old cheque card. I have been following up with standard bank and its almost a month now and i have not received my refund. The two debits on my account on the 6th of January 2025 they still reflect " outstanding card authorisation" I need my money back. This is very bad banking practice
