Unable to FICA from abroad - accounts is suspended, Standard Bank won't respond through their own channels

My cheque and credit card has been blocked by Standard Bank.

I live abroad in the UK.

I apparently haven't updated FICA details. This is after I completed the digital questionnaire on your mobile banking app and website multiple times that request information to be updated. Never was I asked to update FICA details.

I have tried numerous avenues submitting the required details with no feedback.

1. Mobile banking app chat - referred to email addresses with no response 2. International numbers promoted on the mobile app and website that just ring and no answer 3. Asked my mother in South Africa to visit a Standard Bank branch to try and get a human to assist. No luck had to call the online banking team in the branch that gave me an another number that just rings and no answer.

Do you think it's fair Standard Bank that have debit orders going off my accounts that can't go off? Is it fair that I get a bad credit record because of you?

Hi there Standard Bank Hello Peter Team,

I'm still waiting for feedback from your Branch Leadership team.

Can the Branch Leadership team please respond to me via email as I requested in the email that was sent to me from this support team. My SA mobile will not be active since I'm in the United Kingdom.

Your support team also decided after replying to me via email that this matter is now resolved.
I followed up and said it's not resolved until I can respond to a person that actually deals with the FICA requirements to assist me.

Thanks,
Johan

It has been 29 days since I asked for assistance with no response from Standard Bank.

I have debit order that have not been able to go off my account for 2 months. You are giving me a bad credit record.

When will Standard Bank assist me?
