Standard Bank Prestige Account poor service

I submitted a home loan application through my personal banker who, by default, selected a loan term of 20 years without consulting me about my preferred term. The offer has now returned with the 20-year loan term, which does not align with my preference of a 10-year term. I've been informed that changing the loan term requires submitting a new application. However, multiple credit applications can adversely impact my credit score, potentially leading to a higher interest rate on this new offer. This situation is unacceptable, as I am not at fault for the oversight in selecting the initial loan term.
