Standard Bank - the most ***********, useless, non-client-friendly bank

Standard Bank is the most ***********, useless, unprofessional, non-client-friendly bank I have come across. Countless calls to the useless call Center, emails to multiple departments, the auto-promise that someone is sorting out my issue- and more than 48 hours later no one has bothered to call me to help me sort out & resolve the very important issue. And this is the 3rd reported issue in the last 2 weeks that has been ignored. I am disgusted!

Dear Standard Bank

Amazing how you are publically always "so sorry about the poor levels of service" - but you still have not had the decency to contact me telephonically re the issue - and it is now Monday almost 3pm.
Your arrogance is mind-blowing.
This shows clearly that you actually do not care a toss about your clients or about your unprofessional and abysmal levels of service.
If I was a Manager at Standard bank, I would hang my head in shame.
Sadly though, the rot seems to leech from the highest echelons down.

Even more disgusted!
Lara Bonetto

More empty apologies!
What have you been doing since your reply on 28 October?
Do you intend following up with me in this century - or when?

I can now report that not only is Standard Bank unprofessional & ***********, but they are, sadly, also a bunch of ****s! Despite all the promises, they have not contacted me to resolve the issue.
I guess the next step is to contact the Banking Ombudsman & report them there. Companies like this do not deserve to remain in business.
