Standard could care less !

I've been trying to purchase airline tickets from 9am only to find out at around midday that the issue is with standard bank. Being a private banker I thought this would have been a quick fix - however I was told that "I'm not sure what the issue is. This will be looked at tomorrow because the team doesn't work on Sunday's ". Bottom line - so what if I have to pay extra or don't get booking's . The premium fee I'm paying mean nothing as a private banker. Systems being down on Sunday has become a norm with Standard bank - how do they get away with this ?

Reviewer Update
As much as the Hello Peter Standard bank team were helpful - the rest of the teams are an utter disgrace.
I tried transacting yesterday and this morning using my credit card and transactions failed. The private banker is unavailable and calling the bank results in interaction with sheer incompetence. This time round , my transactions were intentionally blocked . No calls made to me , no sms sent - just blocked !! What does standard bank to to rectify the situation - go the the process of asking 7 random stupid questions to verify me. Which I bet 90% of us get wrong because these are so random.
Standard bank - please improve your processes and protocol and do your jobs . This cannot be so difficult OR learn from other banks.
