Still No Response from Standard Bank – Funds Still Frozen While I’m Abroad For over a month

Standard Bank blocked my account over a transaction they claimed came from FNB, yet it was actually from a Standard Bank account. They requested details, which I submitted — including proof of payment and the sender’s ID.

Despite that, they continue to act like they can’t reach me. I clearly gave them my international number +***, and my email is already registered on my account — yet they continue pretending they can’t reach me.

This experience has been stressful and completely unprofessional. If you bank with Standard Bank, be aware that they can block access to your own money for weeks without action or accountability.
