Standard Bank useless once again

I have 2 months remaining on my bond and a balance of about R900 owing on the bond.

I have phoned Standard Bank Home loan devision twice to ask to keep bond open for another 2 years as we wanted to install solar... 1st time they never got back to me

Last week I phoned in again and now I received a list of requirements from you which is absolutely RIDICULOUS, it is like applying for a new bond!!!!!!!

With Absa it took 1 phone call, they asked the term and emailed a letter for a signature and bond carried on like before.

Standard Bank just once again proofed that it is not a Bank to rely on, so I guess settle the bond then, and give me my title deeds.

One thing is for sure If I dont have a bond with Standard Bank I dont see why I should have any other accounts, so next step will be to settle my credit card ASAP and the CLOSE ALL ACCOUNTS and walk away.

When I showed the list of requirementsf from Standard Bank to a bond originator this afternoon he just laughed and said he will get me a loan with far less hassles that what you expect.

So I guess its the end of the road for me and Standard Bank after nearly 40 years.

Shows you how clueless your bankers are, my house is worth about R1 ‪500 000‬ and the bond that I asked to keep open is only R265 000 so guess the risk is TOO MUCH, The value is 5 times the bond but you as bank to stupid to realise that.

THANK YOU for showing your true colours after all the years
