*****th by deception

I used to be a Standard Private Bank client since 1994. Every year the fees went up and the service deteriorated. The exclusions of services that were always included in the fixed fee also increased.

Eventually I decided to look for another account package at Standard Bank. Being over 55, the Consolidator package looked like the option. Four cash withdrawals a month was more than adequate. There was no limit on each withdrawal.

Comes 2019, you are only allowed to withdraw R5000 for the month, then you start paying R1.85 for every R100 you withdraw.

Thanks Standard Bank, I will be using my Discovery Card for every purchase I make from now on and will definitely be moving to Discovery Bank when they open their doors soon.
