Standard Bank the Worst in customer protection.

I went to the autobank at Standard Bank Somerset West Mall branch to draw funds from my Chinese Banking account. The automachine cancelled the transaction due to a technical error. I went back a few hours later to try and draw cash again only to see that the money in the account was gone. The first transaction showed as completed. I went into the branch the following morning to ask for assistance and to get my money back. I was met with unhelpful and uniterested staff. They told me their machines had balanced for the day before and there was nothing they could do to assist. I was advised to contact the Bank of China...….Really?? The amount of money involved is substantial at R6900 so its not so easy to just write it off. I sent emails to David Kershaw and Aletta Rosenkranz requesting video footage and confirmation of the reports to show the transaction was successful, but have had no response. I was also told to expect a call from Saswitch, which of course never happened I am shattered at the loss of money and the fact that the is no recourse for me. Regards Melanie

Reviewer Update
Well typically, Standard Bank was quick to reply to my post giving assurance that the matter would be addressed with urgency.
That was a week ago, I have not been contacted at all by anyone at Standard Bank
