changing cell number

Hi,

I'm experiencing the same problem except I'm out of the country and need assistance to change it so my notifications can be sent to email address... My phone number changes every few weeks as I'm traveling for work. I don't have roaming so I can't phone a SA number. Can I be assisted with an email address for someone who I can contact?

I have moved overseas so am unable to go to my old branch.

I have a new number and was able to make the change via my personal banker over the phone, however you have deleted two of my three cards that were attached to my online banking and have not been able to put them back on after 10-15 emails where I was guaranteed the matter would be resolved.

Typical Standard Bank service and incompetence!

Good day,

 

Please assist me

 

I am out of options

 

I have called the Mobile Banking Customer Care Centre on the 0860238837 number and requested that my cell number needs to be changed to my new contract phone

 

My old cell number has been cancelled ever since I recieved my contract phone

 

I was advised that they can not assist over the phone and that I will need to go into the branch

 

So I went to Standard bank Cradlestone Mall yesterday and I asked that my cell number gets updated / changed

 

I was advised that it will take 3hrs to reset

 

This morning when I tried logging in, again it shows that the OTP has been sent to my old cell number

 

Please assist

 

Thank you

I've been registered before with standard bank (app) and all my details were filled in. I recently changed my cell phone number and now I have to add my accounts from over. The one-time pin code is being sent to my old cell number which is no longer in use.
How do I change that.
Thanks in advance.

Hello @Mqondisi-Gumede,

 

Could I kindly advise that you visit your nearest branch with your ID book and proof of residence in order to be assisted with updating your contact details.

 

Kind Regards,

We should be able to change the contact details directly on the site and the app.

Hello @Koketso,

 

This is not a technical issue on our site. Please note that all profiles are linked to the contact details provided when you open your account. The only way this might have been an issue is when a client has changed their contact details and it is not linked on our systems.

 

Let me know if this is still an issue on your side for further assistance.

 

Regards,

Boitumelo

People have been complaining about the same issue for two years and it's still not fixed. Standard bank you need to pull your socks up and deliver better customer service!

This is very disappointing and inconvenient to go through all the trouble and not being helped or responded to. I've changed my number. But my app is still linked to my old number.. I've been to numerous branches only to get a sorry we can't help you, called numerous centre's just to waist Airtime and ive send numerous emails to [email protected] and haven't once! Recieved a response from them? Like whats up guys? Unprofessional

Hello @ZollBlade,

 

I can imagine your frustration on this, we can assist by confirming what happened when you attempted to change your number at the branch.We currently don't have that feature on both the app and Internet Banking for changing/amending your contact number.

 

This should form part of our new development in future to safe guard you as our client. Please mail us with your full query and account details including the number you would like to change.

 

You can mail us here: [email protected]

Boitumelo

Standard Bank. Seriously WTF is this??? I even went to the bank to change my phone number and nothing happened, this has got to be the most retarded system ever, did your app developers even test the site? Well done.... Best Internet Banking App Ever 10/10
