Unacceptable Susupension of my Credit Card

Today I tried to make an international payment, only to be informed that there was a problem with my card. Shortly thereafter I got a SMS informing me that my card had been suspended for my protection!!! I was told to contact 010 - ***, what a waste of time that was, no one answers that number. I then contacted my private banker Nolwazi and Nkosi, who both undertook to get back to me, by the end of business today, 22 July, as to why this happened. No surprises, no one has bothered to get back to me. Clearly Standard Bank is behind other Banks, certainly Nedbank, where under these circumstances, I get an sms asking me to confirm the payment.

An update - a guy by the name of Gorden contacted me via email undertaking to resolve the problem, after another week of no response, I escalated it myself within Standard Bank, then a guy by the name of Dawud responded, saying that he will sort it out, to date, 22 August, I have heard nothing further!!!

What is it with Standard Bank and their empty promises

So 5 weeks after my first complaint, despite a number of assurances about a Standard Bank team going to get back to me - nothing has materialized!!!
