I am extremely frustrated with the lack of service and support from Postbank. For the past two weeks, I have been unable to withdraw money from my Postbank account. Initially, withdrawals through the Post Office were possible, but that option has now stopped working. Customers are simply being told to contact the call centre — yet the call centre is virtually unreachable. Calls either do not go through, remain engaged indefinitely, or disconnect before you can even speak to an agent. After repeated attempts over many days, there is still no assistance, no communication, and no alternative solution being provided for customers trying to access their own funds. It is unacceptable for a bank to leave customers stranded without access to their money while offering no effective support channels. Many people rely on these funds for essential daily expenses, and the current situation is causing serious inconvenience and distress. Postbank urgently needs to improve its customer support systems and provide clear, accessible alternatives for withdrawals instead of referring customers to a call centre that does not function. I hope this complaint receives urgent attention and that practical solutions are provided soon.

I refer to my complaint number FR/PBK/2025/b9e8d3ea dated 18 March 2025. As you are aware this complaint has been outstanding since 14 April 2025. I send multiple emails to your office requesting feedback as to when I can expect payment without the courtesy of a response from you. This is a letter to you advising you of my intention to escalate this matter to the office of the National Financial Ombudsman who will be in contact with you in due course. I shall naturally also be contacting every relevant consumer care organization on social media.

Good day We reported a ***** to the postbank ***** email address- *****@postbank.co.za on monday 23 March at 09h54. I have not had any feedback nor acknowledgement of the email. I sent another email on 26 March at 05h18 to ******** and have still yet to receive an acknowledgement or response to these emails. This is now the second ***** on my father's SASSA account. The first ***** was reported on 27 August 2025 and only resolved some 5 months later. He has now had another ***** which he became aware of on the 22 of February in which another R5300 was taken out of his Postbank SASSA account. The lady at the Postbank at Pick n Pay Kengsington showed my father the copy of his ID which was used which has a very blurry picture of an African male. Please can we get acknowledgement of the emails sent and a proper investigation into this matter. It is very clear that Postbank cannot or does not have proper systems to protect their clients nor apprehend ******* within its structures. My name is James Durieux on behalf of my father Dennis Durieux

I since lodged a ***** query with Postbank since 08th January 2026, unfortunately to this day nothing has come forth, no response to the endless emails sent to them, a Postbank agent at Pick n Pay gave me a number to call but even that number doesn't go through. It seems this is their strategy to frustrate their clients in order to give up and stop following up on their monies. It is not fair that a pensioner has to lose their money in the hands of a bank they trusted and they don't give a damn about it.
