Good afternoon, @TtTeddy.

 

Thank you for getting in touch.

 

Please be advised that the process of reversing outstanding funds back into your account typically takes 10 working days.

 

It's important to note that you may not receive an SMS alert once the funds have been reversed. Instead, your account will automatically adjust accordingly.

 

Should you find that the funds have not reflected in your account after this period, please don't hesitate to contact our team at 0860 123 000, selecting option 3, then 3, for further assistance.

 

Best regards, Standard Bank Team

Why 10 working days. This should d take 24hrs. Come on now.. This is way over irritating. The pain of getting paid. But unable to buy groceries becoz of an unauthorized payment that's stuck on the card.. Are you guys trying to close down for business or what

Made 2 payments on Easypay using debit card, funds were deducted twice but because it was the incorrect amount(due to ISP price increase) the payments was reversed. The banking app is showing outstanding card authorisation and the money has not been returned to my account.

Hi @Mn13.

 

Thank you for reaching out.

 

Which card were you using and was the transaction successful? If yes, the funds will be deducted on your account when UberEats bank their funds.

 

The status will then change to card purchase and the actual date of the transaction.

Fana.

Just ordered something on online(UberEats) and the banking app is showing outstanding card authorisation. Even though my I had more than enough funds to complete the purchase. Seems to be an ongoing problem with Standar Bank. Why is this going on?

Hi @masterdupie.

 

We sincerely apologise and regret the inconvenience caused.


There were technical issues with making payments using credit and cheque cards at Point of Sale (POS).

 

All services have now been fully restored. 

 

Please try it once more and let us know if you are still getting the same error message.

Hi @Cawa.

 

Thank you for reaching out.

 

Please share more about this so I am able to assist.

 

Are you referring to the long wait or bounced debit orders?

I am being sent from pillar to post and the number 0860123000 just plays music non stop. Please cancel this **bleep** thing, it is not working for me, my debit orders came back unpaid and attracted charges which am going to make a point that they get reversed.

Hi @Dlalo.

 

I understand your concerns. Are you registered for self-service banking? We have two balances on the app available/ latest balance.

 

They work differently and you should focus on your available balance before you can process transactions.

 

Are you registered for self-service? Mobile app.

 

Kind regards,

Fana.

This outstanding card authorisation is very frustrating. I can't always do my calculations to prevent going to overdraft because of the false statements that appears on my account. Sometimes I'm not even conscious of this. Honestly, I enjoyed the old system, this that I'm experiencing now frustrates me.
