Standard Bank's idea of a fun Saturday morning

Card payments not working, ATMs down, app offline, and resultant overlong branch queues stretching like a giraffe out the door and down the mall passage to withdraw cash over the counter which they charge a premium on. This, on a Saturday morning...ALL morning, with no warnings at all - no SMS, no error message on the app, nothing. i had to leave my unpaid purchases at a retailer and will have to trek back here tomorrow IF Standard Bank is back online... which i'll have no way of knowing. This is simply the latest in a series of frustrations with a bank that clearly does not value its customers, which is why I'm standing in an Absa branch as I type this. I am opening an account at Absa before I close my Standard Bank one permanently, which is ironic because I've been with Standard Bank for decades and I'm about to apply for a home loan.
