You Are Capable And Never Sell Yourself Short

Words of wisdom for our women are that ' YOU ARE CAPABLE, AND NEVER SELL YOURSELF SHORT.'

I am Mekyleen Greeff, Assistant Branch Manager at Tokai Blue Route Mall.?

My mom, grandparents, and aunts raised me and inspired me. These women came before me. The women in my life have pushed me to be a better version of what they were growing up. Now, at the age of 32, as a mom of two beautiful young boys, it drives me even more to empower myself.??

Every day, I want to be a better version of the woman I was the day before; my most prominent wake-up call came after COVID-19. ?The loss that we have faced during COVID as a nation was massive, and to be in a position where people were losing their jobs and not knowing what would come next was an eye opener for me to be grateful for what I have and this had helped me change my mindset from negative to a more positive one.

I still face many challenges, but how I analysed them was different than before. Instead of focusing on the negative, I looked for the silver lining and how this could be a positive for me. In essence, looking for the opportunity that arose from the challenge is much more motivating. ?

Once this happened, I started working on my development and enjoyed engaging with clients more, which filtered into my relationships with my peers.

Putting a smile on someone's face became an everyday mission for me. Seeing our young woman come into the branch is an opportunity for me to share my story, get to know them a bit, and empower them to set goals for themselves and always pursue their goals.

In 2022, I was promoted to ABM. Stepping into this role has been a rollercoaster, but it is worth riding as I am learning so much and using this platform to encourage my peers in various ways. My team currently consists of many women, and it's fantastic to see how we feed off one another's energy to achieve our goals as a collective.?

I salute all women in this environment. Our strength comes from persevering through all the challenges that we face. YOU GOT THIS!!!

I DO NOT RECOMMEND CAPITEC BUSINESS BANKING TO ANYONE WHATSOEVER. THEY DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL BRANCH TO GET ASSISTANCE. WHEN IT COMES TO EMAILS THEY DO NOT REPLY, RESPOND OR CARE TO AKNOWDLEGE EMAILS, QUERIES OR COMPLAINTS. THE STAFF ARE NOT EFFICIENT I TRIED TO DO AN INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTION AND THE PROCESS IS VERY TIDEOUS AND FRUSTRATING. NO TRAINING OR ASSISTANCE IN THE PROCESS, YOU JUST HAVE TO FIGURE OUT EVERYTHING ON YOUR OWN. AFTER BOOKING A DEAL, THERE WAS A LOT OF BACK & FORTH AND I ENDED UP CANCELLING OF WHICH IWAS CHARGED R6900, FOR THE CANCELLATION. I RECENTLY TRANSFERRED MONEY FROM MY CAPITEC ACCOUNT TO MY STANDARD BANK ACCOUNT, SO I COULD ATTEMPT TO DO THE SAME TRANSACTION USING MY STANDARD BANK ACCOUNT. STANDARD BANK THEN BLOCKED MY PROFILE. THEY STATE THAT A FRAUD ALERT WAS TRIGGERED. SAID THAT THEY SENT A REQUEST TO CAPITEC BANK TO CONFIRM THE FUNDS AND CAN ONLY UNBLOCK THE ACCOUNT WHEN CAPITEC CONFIRMS THIS, DISREGARDING THE FACT THAT I SENT THEM A STATEMENT AND PROOF OF PAYMENT FROM THE VERY SAME ACCOUNT. TILL THIS DAY I STILL CANNOT TRANSACT. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE IMPLICATIONS ON OUR DAILY TRANSACTIONS AND WHAT POSITION THIS PUTS US IN. I HAVE BEEN CALLING AND EMAILING TO NO AVAIL. VUYO - 064?544 5347
