Standard Bank’s Instant Messaging Service: FAQs

Standard Bank launches instant messaging banking via WeChat. Here are some FAQs on how the service works.

Standard Bank has launched an exciting new Instant Messaging Service via WeChat. If you are a Standard Bank Private and Prestige customer you can now have your banking queries answered by a Virtual Banking team via chat 24 hours a day!

 

Here’s what you need to know:

How do I register for WeChat with Standard Bank?

Private Banking customers have the option of calling or emailing their bankers to sign up for the service. In addition Private Banking customers can also contact the Virtual Bankers team by calling 0860 123 101 or via e-mail [email protected] to sign up. All customers will need to download and register with WeChat.

 

Prestige Banking customers can contact the Virtual Bankers teamby calling 0861 001 321 or via e-mail [email protected] to sign up. All customers will need to download and register with WeChat.

 

Customers will be taken through a verification process and must provide a WeChat ID. Once your identity has been verified you will receive a OTP (One-Time Password) via email or SMS to log in and will then be invited to accept the terms and conditions of using the service. You are then activated.

How long is an OTP valid for?

What are the terms and conditions of the service?

Will my chat history with my Virtual Banker be kept on record?

Yes, your Virtual Banker cannot delete or edit a chat. Is the service synchronised to email? No

 

How can you deregister from the service?

I have been trying to fund my online trading account but unfortunately I get rejected by the bank, my broker says their might be some restiction on account, how do I go about resolving this issue without having to go to the bank because when I opened the account Iasked the consultant if I can do international transactions and she said yes.
