Hi, I'm in agreement with the notice. I'm a Standard Bank client and am prepared to take it up with them within the next couple of weeks. I'm frantically busy at work at the moment and feel that the best way to do this is to see my bank manager personally - I'll try and do that. If I were to see a notice from my bank warning me of possible danger I would be happy to believe that they actually cared for my safety and their own reputation. I would certainly not see it as 'bad publicity'. As far as I'm concerned, the sooner ONW puts up a sign - any sign - the better.
Once I've had a discussion with Standard Bank I'll let the ONW know the outcome.
