Instant money voucher

[Bev_S]

I did an “Instant“ money transaction because I needed to transfer money urgently. Received NO voucher number so had leave where I was to go into the bank to sort out. Aggravation!!!! What is INSTANT money for if it’s only received a week later ... AFTER 20 minutes on my cell phone to STD bank??? Is this Instant Money a scam???? Were they hoping I wouldn’t query it ?????

Thanks for your reply however ... I used the so-called "Instant Money" facility thinking it would get the money to the payee that day without the inconvenience of me running around. 

I only received the voucher number a week later - after costs to me for half an hour on my cell phone - yet you still have the audacity to charge me the fee for using this so-called Instant Money facility :(

It’s really not instant

And your private banking service is really below average. I’m moving back to absa. Everything about Standard bank is super slow.
