Standard Bank service is non existent !!!

We have phoned Standard Bank 3 times already for them to email us the Merchant Application Forms. Apparently this Department does not have a direct telephone number ? How many more times must we phone ????!!! You hide behind Hellopeter and do not give any feedback of my previous complaint. You think an apology phone call from a Manager is good enough !!! Shame on you Standard Bank !!!!

Instead of getting your Manager to phone with the previous complaint, why does nobody inform of what action was taken to resolve the lies from the employee ? That would have been better feedback !
