Terrible Bank

<p>Ok so I thought of changing banks a couple of months ago so I opened a Standard Bank Prestige Account. Firstly they took so long to deliver my card that the account was closed. Then i had to go into a branch to re-open the account. I was told that the debit order switching can take up to 45 days so i had to make sure that there are sufficient funds in my current account and the new account. </p> <p> </p> <p>Its now been +- 6 months, 2 debit orders have been changed. My salary has not been switched nor the rest of my accounts. I in the meantime switched the 2 debit orders back to my original account after 3 months as it did not make sense to have only 2 debut orders on the new account with no salary being paid into it. </p> <p> </p> <p>I am now at a branch to close the account as it cannot be done over the phone. </p> <p>I now have to pay R800 outstanding banking fees before they can close the account. What type of joke is this? Pay for something i did not use because of their incompetence. Its ridiculous and a money making scheme. </p> <p> </p> <p>I have never in my life had such poor service from a bank and i woul definitely not recommend Standard Bank to anyone i know. </p>
