Credit Cards

My personal details have changed. What do I need to do? 

Please bring along a copy of your marriage certificate, if your surname has changed, and a copy of your identity document with your correct names.

If you have changed your address or phone number, please inform us by visiting your nearest branch.

 

How do I change my debit order?    

Ask for a debit order form at any branch, complete it and return it to us by fax or post, or ask the branch to send it to us.

 

How can I get a statement immediately?     

You can get a copy from any branch for a fee. If you are an Internet banking user you can check your statement at any time free of charge.

 

What type of transactions can I dispute?     

There are two types of transactions that may be disputed: transactions that have either an S# or S@ before the merchant's name, which both mean swiped transactions. In this case the card had to be present at the merchant and therefore is most likely to be your transaction. However, the amounts that may appear on your statement could be different.

 

What is the procedure to follow when disputing a transaction?     

The procedure to follow is to complete a dispute form and attach a copy of the signed voucher to have the amount shown on your account rectified. If there is a swiped transaction that you insist is not yours, a dispute form has to be completed and sent to Card Division for investigation. The amount will be suspended from your account balance temporarily and will be reported as a disputed amount. Card Division will then request the merchant to supply a copy of the signed voucher, within the required time. If the time lapses and the merchant fails to supply us with a copy of the voucher the transaction will be charged back to the merchant and you will be credited.

 

What happens then if the merchant does supply the necessary document(s)?      

If the merchant supplies a valid copy of the voucher and the signature is valid the amount will then be returned to your account balance along with the interest for the period the transaction was suspended. A further debit will appear on your account for retrieval of the voucher (R50 for local vouchers and R205 for international vouchers) if you are proven to be at fault. This fee will not appear if you are correct.

 

Unauthorised disputed transactions 

Transactions with either an M# or M@ before the merchant's name represent manual transactions. In this case the card did not have to be present, for example, mail order, Internet merchants or even if the swipe system was off line. Remember that if you have made a mail order arrangement the merchant may produce the agreement, which you may have entered into rather than a signed voucher. Once you have identified that there is a transaction you did not authorise you need to complete a dispute form and send it to Card Division for investigation. The process is the same as that for a swiped transaction.

 

I paid my card account but the payment is not shown on my statement. What should I do?        

Send us your proof of payment so that we can trace it and credit your account. Any interest charges will be reversed once the payment has been traced.

 

My statement shows a payment that I do not remember making. How can I find out who made it?       

Call us and we will try to get a copy of the deposit slip or receipt. If the amount was incorrectly credited to your account, we will reverse it.

 

How do I pay one of my budget purchases early?   

Pay the required amount into your card account and then phone us to let us know which budget purchase you are paying. Alternatively, if you have enough credit on your account, ask us to switch the outstanding budget amount to an ordinary payment. The new balances will reflect on your account the following day.

 

Can I change the repayment period on a budget purchase?           

Yes, if the transaction date is less than 30 days before you lodge your request and no instalment has been taken off your budget facility.

 

What is lost card protection and how can I get it?  

Lost card protection protects you against any loss caused by fraudulent use of your card if it is lost or stolen. It does not cover transactions in which your PIN was used. Lost card protection is free of charge and you qualify as soon as your card is issued.

 

What is credit protection?     

It's insurance that settles your credit-card balance in the event of death, disability or retrenchment. You can ask for credit protection by phone, fax or email.

 

How can I get a copy of a tax certificate?   

We issue tax certificates automatically, if more than R250 interest is credited to your account. You can ask for a duplicate by phone, fax or e-mail.

I am also having problems when someone with an Absa bank account tries to deposit money into my Standard Bank credit card.  The transaction is rejected every time. What are the exact instructions for depositing/transferring money from a different bank into my SB credit card?  Is the credit card number used as the bank account number?  I can not find any information about this on the SB app.

Yesterday I paid the "minimum payment" on my credit card "due by 13 November", and when I go on to my online banking the exact amount I paid yesterday is still there and noted as "minimum amount to be paid by Nov 13".

 

Why has my payment not reflected?

Hello @Babakhe ,

 

Please be advised that you are able to transact into your credit card provided that it has been linked to your current account on the mobile banking app. Kindly note that the linking of the cards can be done at your nearest branch or via our customer care line; 0860 123 000. Once the cards have been linked, the credit card will appear as a tile on the primary dashboard within your mobile banking app. Should you need to transfer funds into your credit card, kindly follow these steps;

 

- log onto the mobile banking app,

- Tap on the tile that shows your account balance and details,

- Tap on "Transfer"

- Input the amount you wish to transfer,

- Enter your reference and tap on review.

 

Kind Regards,

Mandy
