Nightmare to deal with

Transferred money for my holiday a week before. Staff couldn't be more nonchalant. Kept saying the would email or call me back, never did. Lost thousands of pounds - said it was sent back to my Barclays because i requested a refund - i did not and it was not returned to Barclays. Staff never respond when they say they will. Now had to cancel my flight. Nightmare company, would not recommend.

Great Service

I received a very prompt and polite response to my email. My problem was dealt with efficiently by Nondumiso Hadebe. I cannot fault their customer service.

Prompt response on a weekend

The query I raised by e-mail on a Saturday evening was dealt with very promptly and satisfactorily (in less than 3 hours) by Olwethu Gumede. Good service.

Excellent Service.

I rang this morning concerned that my transfer had not gone into my euro account, the lady I spoke to Sinqobile Khanyile was so professional, friendly and very extremely nice and listen to my concerns and had everything sorted out in no time.
Thank you so much Sinqobile.
However, I did call a little later to see if the transfer had been completed, and can only say that Marcus could do with some customer service training from Singobile, he was rude and very dismissive of my concerns.

Excellent Service

I had a query on my account. Sinqobile replied promptly to my email, was clear, thorough and went beyond what I asked to ensure I was reassured. I was very impressed, no mean achievement when customer service elsewhere is often so shoddy.

I've used this company for my travel…

I've used this company for my travel money for over 7 years. The currency exchange rates are always favourable and you can add many currencies to the account for spending via the visa card when visiting different countries. If you ever need to get in touch for help or large transactions, the support is excellent (thanks Pranesh).
