@MTNza my friend is travelling overseas and her sim has been swapped back home in SA. Your call centre was spectacularly unhelpful. Is there any better help than telling her she needs to go into a store? (She can’t). Surely this kind of thing happens relatively often?

Hey @SAReserveBank It’s past time you leave this app for Threads or somewhere that doesn’t have CSAM built into it (to say nothing of the Neo-fascism).

I got & blocked 3x robo call numbers TODAY from “debt review” companies - the last one even had the nerve to claim “you have been selected by your bank to pay less on your debts”. Something has to be done about this harassment of the SA consumer @NCRegulator @InforegulatorSA

I’m on the Do Not Contact list @SA_DMA maintains. But these companies aren’t members so it doesn’t apply. I’ve blocked 3x human caller and 3x robocall numbers this past WEEK. And my debt? Almost zilch. They’re blindly calling people, & lying to them about “being selected”.

@EasyEquities Your chat bot is pretty useless. And your “update bank details” functionality in the app is broken.

Capetonians and @KirstenboschNBG which gate is best to use for sunset concerts? #capetown @webticketsSA #kirstenboschgardens
Trying to explain to *bank* customer support that there is no *insert or enter pin* option when you use your bank card on a TFL bus or in a tube station. It’s not a typical payment device. Fml. 🤦♀️

@vault22_io Why do my linked retirement and investment accounts (listed and updated in my Accounts section) not show up under the “financial fitness” function on the app?

Reminder if you’re covering the new #CrimeStats : The murder rate is a pretty solid expression of the no. of murder victims. The rape & #sexualassault figures, however, reflect the no. of REPORTS. So a decline can actually (I’d say “likely”) represent lost trust or social shifts.
This country is so fucking unserious about GBV. Yes I know this could be read many ways, but it’s also indicative of a way of thinking that hurts everyone. Gross.

Caller: Hi I’m calling you from Debt [Wise?] because you have a flag on your credit record.
Me, already rolling my eyes: Is that Debt Wise or Wyse?
Caller: sorry…?
Me: How do I spell your company name?
Caller: Ummm … let me just check…
*Click*
Me: Hello?

The post-40 #TannieEnergy I’ve decided to embrace is (politely) lecturing scam callers on their life choices. What’s yours?

#Freelance friends: I’m crowdsourcing for a presentation, (to supplement my own info and check I haven’t missed anything). What are your admin and pitching tips? How do you stay on top of your 7000 to dos? Share too please. #freelancers

Conspiracy theory: the opaque & unnavigable parallel “booking” systems for @HomeAffairsSA are a walk-in “traffic calming” measure. It suggests *concepts of a plan* aka hope, meaning you only give up and queue IRL when all *ploncepts* have come to naught and you’re desperate.

Another day of trying to book an @fnb appointment via @HomeAffairsSA (ehome site). It’s been weeks. I’ve tried looking for slots at 6am, midnight, during work hours. Literal zero available. I’ve tried the 0800 number (endless holding), and calling Greenpoint direct.

Today’s glimmer of hope from @FNBSA was the instruction to choose “order cash” when trying to reach the branch directly via the auto recorded “choose 1 for…” menu. Plot twist: that isn’t an option.
