Hi @FanaM1
I don't yet have access; it's a process.
But I'm celebrating that after years, Standard Bank actually engaged with me, replied to an email, called me on the phone and gave me a chance to prove my identity. It's a big step. Even here it took two months, so the wheels turn very slowly, but never mind, it has now happened.
So thank you. :)

Hi again @FanaM1
It's been two weeks now; the story keeps repeating itself.
Would you know when someone is going to reply to my email?
And are you able to tell me the reason why Standard Bank ignores me, over and over and over?
It's my PENSION.

@FanaM1 - thank you
I thought I had replied here, but it seems not.
I did write to the email you gave me (on 29 Aug) and gave my contact details.

Hi.
A month has now gone by since I wrote to you, and I have waited patiently.
But this is a continuation of the problem I raised in the first place. I'm being ignored again.
I'm not being unreasonable. You are holding onto my pension money, while ignoring me. It's actually appalling.
Is anyone going to get back to me and actually help me?

I've just found this forum/ community. I'm really hoping I can get someone from the bank to engage with me and not drop me.
Has anyone else experienced something like this?
20-07-2023 02:20 PM
I have lost access to my internet banking due to me stupidly forgetting my password and getting locked out.
I've been in email contact with the bank about this for about 2 years. (2 years! I'm not even exaggerating.)
They ask me for identification details, which I supply. They stop replying to me as soon as I say I do not have an SA cell number as I am in Europe and this means I cannot come into a branch.
I try again periodically and the cycle repeats, "it is my pleasure to assist you, please give me your cell number and we will call you back." And then contact dies again and I am ignored again. I've tried phoning. I can't get past "please enter your SA cell number". BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE AN SA CELL, I am in Europe.
I understand fraud problems and security, but I've been a customer for decades. And they won't even make any effort to verify my identity. They won’t get back to me at all.
What am I suspposed to do, when they won't talk to me and keep ignoring me? I've completely lost access to my account my pension payouts come into.
