Standard Bank stole my money.

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the customer service I received from Standard Bank following a recent account breach and unauthorized transactions.

On the 20th of June 2024, I discovered that my account had been compromised and there unauthorized transactions had been made.

I immediately got in contact with the ***** department team to report the issue and recover my funds. I opened a case, got a case number and I was assured that I will get my money back after 7-10 working days. After that call, there was no communication provided and I had to call to enquire about my case. That was when I received messages stating that they are still busy with investigations.

3-4 weeks later I got a message stating my case was concluded with no explanation provided. I called to ask about the refund of my funds Unfortunately, my attempts were met with frustration and wasted time. I endured long wait times on hold, often exceeding several hours, only to be passed from one representative to another, each seemingly unable to provide any meaningful assistance.

Standard Bank has failed me as their client. This is utterly unacceptable, especially considering that I am a paying customer who expects a secure banking experience. I want my hard earned money.

It is outrageous that I am forced to expend significant time and effort to recover my own money, due to a security breach that is not my fault. Standard Bank customer service has fallen far below any reasonable expectation.
