Terrible servirce with stupid staff who cant use their brains
I went to standard bank (Thibault Square) to get a pin code of the card that I forgot. I was referred to Enquiries where I was helped by a short lady with fringe. The card belongs to my 16 year old brother and I had opened the account for him years back. I was told that because he is now 16 he needs to open a student account on his own which I understood but I told them that I need some of the money that is in that account today because my brother is going on a school trip tomorrow so I need to pay it today. The lady at enquires said she cant help me but will refer me to her supervisor who also told me that she will not authorise that because I did not come with the child to the bank, 1.how was I suppose to know that I should bring him when he is 16? 2.) Why was I not notified by letter maybe because he turned 16 in April?
The supervisor then refered me to her manager a slender pregnant lady who also said I need to bring the child in, I told her that he is at school 30km away from where I am at the moment. I then told this lady that my brother does not have an ID yet how are they going to identify him? she said the birth certificate will do, so I asked so they mean because I have his birth certificate I can grab any 16 year old outside give him my bro's ID and say its him . she said that would be fine as long as I have the child and his birth certificate.
My brother is not going to an educational trip tomorrow because the bank refused to help me even when I told them what I need the money for, the worst part is that I am the one who opened the account and the in-contact comes to my cellphone.
Since my brother will be missing his educational trip to morrow I a m going to Standard Bank with him to close the ****** account. I cant be with the bank that doesn't care and its not safe when they even encourage you to forge documents to open account.
