Customer service redirects and gives non answers

I have been trying repeatedly trying to transfer a stock. What should of been simple has been an ordeal. Their staff does not appear to have the knowledge they need to break down a premium. When asked repeatedly to speak with someone who can give me a breakdown of fees I was either given non-answers or there was an attempt to redirect. This happened on two separate occasions, my tone the entire time was polite, firm and professional. Two separate times, same results. Take your money elsewhere.

Ajay was polite and professional

Ajay was polite and professional, and took me through the steps of the process, explaining each part and answering my questions clearly. Very happy with the service provided.

A general observation regarding call pick-up times is that I had a long wait of around 40 minutes before I was connected to a member of the team.

Thank you Ms M A Deena

M A Deena went out of her way to help me - she could tell I was struggling with the terminology as I struggled to sell my later father shares. She repeated herslf multiple times until I understood what I needed to do. She helped me identify the missing share certificates and, and this was the amazing bit,rang me back when we got cut off. I am very grateful for her help.

A patient and helpful customer service experience.

Spoke to VANI TAMIZH and asked for her help to register my bank details. She was so kind and patient and helped me work my way slowly and carefully throughout the whole procedure. Without out her, I would not have managed as my technology skills are not great.
Thank you VANI, you were truly amazing and deserve a huge pat on the back. I appreciated your help so, so much.
