Standard Bank
Standard Bank staff

Hi, I have a business bank account with Standard Bank. On 4/12/2012, I was arrested by the police following a complain against me by an unsatisfied customer. I was in custody from 4/12/2012 until 28/02/2013 at the Kuruman Prison-Northern Cape.
While in custody, its seems as if Standard bank staff from a remote branch (Vereeniging) collaborated with to money from my account. They issued a new debit card to the who used the card to make several ATM CASH withdrawals; the same branch approved a cash withdrawal of R120, 000 from my account right inside the bank. They linked my account to 3 different accounts where they made auto transfers of R31, 000, R40, 000 and R27, 230. My wife got sms alert upon charging my phone, she immediately called the bank but was told that only account holder can authorize a stop order. She traveled about 870kms to visit me because of the situation. I called my branch immediately to stop the account. Upon my release, standard bank asked me to report a case of to the police for my claims totaling R268, 000. I did that, forwarded the case # with affidavits to the bank since March, nothing has been done, my business is suffering.
