Useless Banking Platform

Standard bank is absolutely useless. From the 1st August 24 until today I have made over 50 calls to standard with regards to increase my EAP limit. The questions they ask you are appalling.

Where the money came from? Why I want to increase? What is my investment acc numbers?

STANDARD BANK - ALL THE ABOVE HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. I AM NOT A ********.

They did not once offer any solution to my EAP limit issue and they cannot increase the EAP limit to any amount and the money must be available in your account. This is truly unacceptable, On 23rd September around 20:55 I called and the agent told me she would process but will struggle to get hold of a team leader because they knock off at 21:00pm. I didn't get my EAP limit increased that day because they knocked off at 21:00. Please look at how much bank charges I have paid in the past 2 months. Yet the agents think they are doing me a favor by assisting. Today all my future dated payments rejected due to EAP limits. And they are very quick to tell you that there will be charges for failed payments.

I am at a stage of moving to another banking institution, that can take care of my banking and investments needs.

Standard bank called me, gave me a possible solution of opening a private banking account which is obviously higher. I called today to increase my EAP limit again and the agent stated she put the request through, and it should be approved in the next 30 min. I waited 45 minutes and no SMS no call. I decided to call to find why I didn't receive the increase SMS. You guys are useless, ****mers. Nobody had the decency to call and say the system rejected the increase. I asked why , the agent cannot tell me why and that i must go to a branch. Who has time to go and sit in long ques at branches when theres online platform. I honestly thought i would have a solution but I am just running in circles with useless banking institution. Its time to move on to FNB private banking - they will show Standard bank how its done. How to look after a loyal client and provide customer needs when it arises.

I had enough .........................................BYE BYE Useless bank

I called again this morning to increase the EAP limit. Again the agent says they cannot increase it and my account is blocked. I must go to branch and do I dont know what.

I am going to bank now - I am going to withdraw all my cash and deposit into another account. Again . Standard bank is useless with no service to the customer. I have released my investments from Stanlib as well.

from 1st August to current date, I called standard bank over 100 times - I want to be reimbursed for all the calls I made over the last 2 months and compensation for the stress I have encountered with this useless banking institution. Today my builders didn't come to work because I cannot pay their wages.
