Suspended account

Standard Bank decided today to suspend my 18 year old daughters account. She is in durban, I am in jhb. She'd used her last money to catch an uber. She now has no funds, airtime or means to get around. She was in the bank last week to query opening a student account as she is now 18 and her current savingo account is for school children. The STND bank employee said they would hold on until she opened her student account. That can be the only reason for the suspension in my mind. So after agreeing to hold open the account, it's now suspended and my 18 years old daughter is stranded in a city 600 km away from me with no access to funds. I'm sorry but that to me is disgusting.

Standard bank my child is still stranded with a suspended account. Your call system won't allow her to phone as she's on prepaid and it's asking her to top up which she can't as her account is suspended. This is absolutely appalling and your polite mail and empty promises are just a customer service with no solution or feedback. You asked for personal information to escalate this issue but leave no details as to where to send this to.
