Standardized review!

I wish Standard Bank would show you that you have messages whilst logged in to the app.

Every time you log out, the App icon shows you have new messages. You have to log back in to read them.

Excellent service

The bank app is easy to navigate and the services offered are great

Review

Your Internet and mobile banking are not intuitive. Your email requests for assistance are sent from one person to the next bouncing me around as If a hot ball to get rid of instead of assisting me. Your WhatsApp call function is very helpful and this is the only way I get assisted.

Best to bank with standard

Chat totally useless

I’ve been making online payments for many years. All of a sudden my attempt at an online payment was unsuccessful. The person (or bot) told me I would have to set up a virtual card. Online payments were impossible with this method.
The system needs urgent improvement.

Problems with app regularly

I often experience issues with the app. Sometimes OTPs not delivering. Sometimes account totals not showing. Online banking is an issue as well. That’s the biggest problem really. The app isn’t as bad as internet banking.

Easy to use, especially if you are an older person

Changing OTP preferences

I have made numerous attempts through the app and through the call centre and they have assured me my OTP preference would have changed from sms to email. And it has still not been done. It’s incredibly frustrating. I live in Australia and still have business in SA so I

Documents Tab

Statement for March 2026 missing and the statements don’t load. Once in the Documents tab each statement / letter has 3 dots on the right to open the document. However when pressing rhe 3 dots the document doesn’t open/load.

Unauthorized bank fees

This bank is always charging fees for services that have not been requested or authorized. I barely use my Standard Bank account but I have to watch it like a hawk to make sure I am not being charged!!! Then when I query, it’s a problem to be refunded at the all money that has been charged.

App not working now

App not working now, it's not opening at all just a blue screen with your logo.
I'm in the UK and need to pay my bill but I can't use the app not a great update if you can't use it

Online banking

Thank you for approving my online banking. I am currently in the USA and was so worried about what would happen if I ever lost my South African phone.

Mr.

Easily transacted

Unstable

This app keeps crashing. I cannot log in to my account. Very frustrating.

App works on my iphone 15, but not my IPhone 16

App allows me to log in on my iPhone 15, but will get stuck on the blue screen indefinitely

Going backwards …..

Your landing page is now beyond stupid. You are unable to see all your accounts at once without scrolling one by one horizontally. What is the point of hiding the very information that you want to see at one glance ???
