STANDARD BANK! SERVICE! NONE! ZERO! ZILCH!

My daughter has been trying to report a **** since 20 September 2022 with Standard Bank. She stays in Saudi Arabia so it is very difficult to reach her except via Whatsapp, or Facebook. The payment was made from Standard Bank to ABSA. On the app they sent her a form to complete and an e-mail address. The e-mail bounced saying it doesn't exist and when she tried sending an e-mail to the original Standard Bank contact Abegail and Nyeleti, they never came back to her after multiple e-mails. I tried helping in phoning multiple times on my side, but obviously they don't want to help me as I don't have signing writes on her account - that lady also said she can't help because we don't have a reference number - BUT HOW THE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET ONE IF YOU CAN'T GET ANY RESPONSE ANYWHERE!. Eventually I got through to somebody that told me the form she received was the incorrect one, the other e-mail we got was also incorrect and we needed an affidavit. We quickly made one and I got all the evidence together on Friday and sent it through to a new e-mail address. Isn't this supposed to be time sensitive????? I even got somebody from our local STANDARD BANK branch to enquire on our behalf, there IS STILL no answer! It is now 10:30 Monday morning 10/10/2022 and we haven't received anything, not even a response e-mail. I am totally DISGUSTED AND DISAPPOINTED after being a client of Standard Bank for 35 years.

Wonderful Standard bank contacted us after this review BUT!!!!!!!! Asked us to complete a form (as the previous one they sent us was not the right one) and send it to an e-mail - well, I think at least 15 days too late. Secondly the e-mail address is incorrect - it bounces back! This is NOT the first one, after the first form (which was the wrong form thatwas sent) and an e-mail address was given, this one too was incorrect. Tried to contact that person Nyeleti multiple times after that, and she only came back to us this morning, 20 days later!! I've just sent her e-mails again on the first e-mail she contacted us on....we'll see....

Your first reply was dated 10 October, it is now 17 October???????? Nobody has contacted me directly. In fact, do you HAVE my contact details? It doesn't help if you keep telling me to keep calm and you will get back to me, do your really think JUST trying to report a **** case is supposed to take 27 days???????????
