Useless Bank ever

Do not waste your time, worst banking experience in the history of banking. Been holding on a call for a full 37minutes getting transferred from department to department for a mere card activation.

Now i must waste my time going to a branch in the senseless Que process just to make another call to the useless digital banking team then be transferred to *****.

So i got a call that the banker(Cindy) will be called. Banker calls me and says there is an error Today which is a lie because i had the same error since yesterday, now that im desperate i went to the branch at Gezina Gallaries and im told i will wait long because only 2 people are assiting with EFTs and for immediate payment i will pay a lot.

So now the banker says i will be put on old system to use internet banking which will only be activated after 1:30min.

All this time calls airtime and frustration to select a card as a default card and it the only card i have with them

The clowns in the branch said i must call digital banking where i was holding dor 37minutes. Now say ohk, i use my face ID to log onto the app, how do i retrieve my username and password to use after 1:30min, nobody knows in the whole branch.

This is my 3rd complain. Firstly the app itself never wanted to log in. Took me 3 days and contacting some managers to get it sorted. Then i waited weeks for a POS machine and still had to complain and call each day until it was delivered.

Go bank with Capitec and you will never regret it. Standard Bank is extremely disappointing
