Worst ***** experience ever

WORST SERVICE EVER!!!! I had ***** transaction on my credit card, I battled for over an hour to get through to the ***** line to report it, in that time my card got maxed out. But love the voice while on hold "***** should be treated as a matter of urgency" just a pity they don's live up to that.

Now its over a week later and no word from standard bank other than an SMS saying the case is on hold due to uncleared transactions which I know is a lie, as I used my card once before the ***** and that transaction definitely cleared. They only send this so I cannot go to the ombudsman and say I have not received any communication from them even if its untrue.

Tried calling the call centre you on hold for hours. And when you get through they tell you they cannot help as they only work in the call centre.

I received a new card but this is useless too, to get the PIN I need to go online but I cannot link the card as it needs a PIN to link the card so what now?

This is truly the worst experience I have had with any bank and would not recommend having a standard bank account as they really do not put their customer of their protection of their finances first.

Suppose I have high hopes in getting any feedback on this complaint.

I guess the only way to get someone from Standard bank to call you is to stop paying them?

Reviewer Update
After writing this complaint I did not think I would hear anything back. But Standard Bank took it seriously. Within a two days I received a call from Yolanda Maddie (Hope I typed her name correctly) and she was absolutely amazing kept me updated every step of the way. She was reachable when I needed to follow-up did not need to hold on in a call centre queue for what usually feels like forever just to be cut off. She would return calls if I left a message. And to add not only did she resolve my ***** queries she assisted me with getting access to my card details and getting my app working again. Thank you for the amazing service you delivered. Truly redeemed my view of standard bank.
