Easy Equities

EASY EQUITIES new Charge structure causing Double Jeopardy !!
I love the platform and how it educates and breaks down the barriers in investing with market instruments and diversifying your portfolio, but lately they have employed an extremely aggressive charge structure. Especially on your TFSA account. You are not only charged on this account for inactivity (And one typically make only one TFSA deposit per annum) but in addition that same charge is also deducted from you TFSA deposit limit for the next tax year, thereby exponentially increasing the damage to your portfolio as you can now invest less for that period !! So sad to see greed and short-sightedness destroy a platform that had so much potential....

Discovery has no interest in providing service- only cold hard walls.
Having an absolute nightmare trying to get a Tax Clearance Certificate from Discovery on my Father's Estate. They are cold and heartless and simply not interested in assisting. I have jumped through all their hoops but they keep going out of their way to make the process as painful as possible. And this is a top South African Company - How shameful !!!

Standard Bank deceased estate balance certificate taking months !
We have been waiting for an account closure balance certificate for more than 3 months from this bank - They simply take forever and yet they advertise that it is supposed to be done within 30 days. They are holding up an entire estate just for one account closure certificate. They are willfully spiteful and it is impossible to reach someone that knows what is going on and gives a damn. This is already a difficult matter for the family and the lack of the human element from Standard Bank's approach is a huge disappointment !!

Discovery Bank query and complaint system non-existent
I have been waiting for an account closure certificate for more than 6 months from this bank - They simply do not respond and are holding up an entire estate just for one account closure certificate. They are willfully spiteful and it is impossible to reach someone that knows what is going on and gives a damn. This is the problem when you do not have a building that you can walk into and sit in front of a person and hold him/her to account. Discovery Bank's digital approach is a huge risk !!

Vodacom WASPS continue !!
Vodacom's ******* and predatory WASP partnerships are at it again. This time with HoopersTV - constantly trying to add WASP subscriptions to my bill - not with any clear popups or any communication whatsoever. And this is a problem as old as time for them. It can be solved in so many ways IF only they were interested. They make these "subscription events" SO easy for these predators with no option to change it for consumers. Vodacom is not interested because they get a cut from these subscriptions and are making a handsome penny on the side. They pretend to let you be able to "BLOCK content services" on their mobile app - but then the WASPS STILL GET THROUGH?? ****s, and Absolutely disgusting. Shame on you Vodacom !

WASPS AND PURCHASED CONTENT NIGHTMARE CONTINUES!!
Constant WASP hogging on my account regardless of any block settings, OR requests to zero my spend limit, etc etc etc... Nothing works. My bill is some months more than TRIPPLE !! I have logged so many calls, Vodacom is either clueless or complicit. They receive huge kickbacks from these WASP subscriptions, so I understand, but the money is coming from our pockets! Shame on you Vodacom!!!!

VODACOM WASPS making a comeback
Clearly Vodacom needs to recuperate its losses after the black Friday and festive season periods. The WASP issue (Content Services!!) was under control on my account for the better part of a year, but when I got my account yesterday....yup, the WASPS are back! Double my bill. Content subscriptions galore. No notifications jack zip. And this with my account supposedly set up to "BLOCK ALL CONTENT SERVICES" Nope. Not if Vodacom needs to get kickbacks from these services and make some money. Try to call and complain, you get every excuse in the book. ******* and useless. Time to go back to Telkom (Can't belive I'm saying that)

ABSA REWARDS PATHETIC
Absa Rewards promises and shows you earning a bonus on your automatic credit card limit increase but then cancels it if you adjust your limit to a rounded amount because their App refuses to give your Credit card nett balance. No communication! Pathetic.

Too many interns at the Vodacom Call Centre!!
This is the second time in as many months I ask them for a breakup of my usage data. Their useless app cannot track data usage if you have multiple sim cards. What is even more ridiculous is that they can draw the breakup data for me on a spreadsheet, but they are unable to send it to me because their email won't allowe them. 3 staff members tried, Incl. the on duty supervisor, all failed! Kept on getting errors. You really need to sort out your act. NOW I'M STILL IN THE DARK AND MY DATA KEEPS DISAPPEARING!! GIVE US TOOLS TO MANAGE OUR ACCOUNT!
