Unable to close account

Standardbank is failing to close my Cheque account. I have phoned on numerous occasions to try to close the account, which they simply are not closing. This account keeps on incurring cost as long as it is open. This lack of service and poor delivery from Standabank is exactly why I have moved over from Standarbank to Investec

I want to point out the incompetence of the Standarbank staff. I have been asking you to close my cheque account for almost a week. The request get passed around like a hot potato as the *********** staff of Standarbank does not seem how to close a bank account.

Dear Untrustedbank,

Referring to the case where you (Standarbank) is failing to close both my Notice and Prestige cheque account, I logged into my Standardbank account this morning to find yet another day has passed and the accounts are not closed as Instruced.

I would like to follow up with Standardbank Management to provide me with a reason as to why my accounts are not being closed as instructed on 18/10/2024, also what the plan of action is to ensure that Standardbank Employees action the instruction to close the accounts?

I need urgency on this matter, and will be taking additional measures if my instructions are not tended to immediately.
