According to a statement issued by Standard Bank, a total of 91 branches will be closed as the bank decided to opt for a digital banking offering for consumers. "These changes will impact approximately 1200 jobs. However the actual number of employees who will ultimately exit the employ of Standard Bank SA could be lower, as new opportunities will become available in the new operating model," the bank said.
— HomeAffairsSA March 14, 2019 "We have also set aside funds to assist employees acquire new skills to improve their competitiveness in the labour market, as well as entrepreneurial training and financial assistance. This has not been an easy decision to make. We recognise that this is a very stressful time for everyone," the statement concluded.

The country is heading down the path of Venezuela, those that have the means should leave now, there is no hope for this Shithole, MYANC completely destroyed this country.
I am a Standard Bank client of many years. I am so upset that branches are closing and jobs are being lost. I care more about people, families who will suffer despite your efforts to prepare them for other fields of employment. This is a deal breaker for me.
Competition and high bank charges won't help the situation either.
