Worst customer service in my life

The worst service in my whole life. I called customer service multiple times now and always happens the same. First one has to wait an hour on the line before someone helps you, then when you are lucky somebody picks answers just to tell you he can not help and transfers you to the next person. When he transfers you, the line is cut. This happened multiple times. Then I tried the email rout. Here I get an automatic reply telling me that they will contact me within 24 hours. I have not received one call back. This is BS service. Never in my life have I been so frustrated with a customer service.

Reviewer Update
Just an update on this matter:
the Standard Bank customer service did contact me, asking me for some information. However, they NEVER came back to me, even after following up myself.

I even called them again, but the agents are just referring me to another department and trying to make the problem another agents responsibility. Digital Banking department is referring me to Online Shopping, and Online Shopping is referring me back to Digital Banking. They even told me that they will escalate the problem, but I NEVER hear anything again from them. Pathetic service.

Anyway, I am gonging to close my SB accounts this weekend and moving to FNB. I had enough.

No worries, I have already closed one of my accounts. The next one will be closed tomorrow.

As always, Standard Bank has "escalated" the matter. However, I have not heard ANYTHING from them the last two weeks. I can not bank like this....
