Standard Bank Sandton Branch - Poor Seervice

My son is now living in Europe and want to close his bank account with Standard Bank in Sandton. He sent me an affidavit and copy of his ID and I went to the branch on the 24/02/18. The branch manager found something wrong with the affidavit and scanned the documents. She siad would send them to compliance and would phone me back. Never did so! On the 03/03/2018 I went back to the branch and another lady took care of the subject. Phoned the manager and said they would phone me back. Took copies of the documents again. Today I still do not have any reply whatsoever. I would expect at least a phone call with an update!

Sorry to differ with your communication. The matter was attended to and I went for the third time to the branch...and Hallelujah! they phoned me back! But the issue is not resolved because the piece of paper states Power of Attorney and it should be a letter. This is a very elaborate legal issue that your Compliance Department had analyze.. Anyway, I believe Standard Bank has the right to keep a dormant account opened. So let it be your way. Kind regards, Fernando Goncalves
