A client of Absa since 1988 and they are not willing to assist. Thanks Absa

I tried to purchase something from Microsoft this morning. According to them the transaction failed but according to Absa it went through. I've tried contacting card division, internet banking and even went into the bank. Nobody is willing to resolve this issue before the money clears my account and goes through to Microsoft. What will happen is Absa will do nothing till the money is released and then they will say its not their problem but I need to contact Microsoft.

So my complaint was made on 02/11/2021 I got two replies from the Bank and now nothing, I get a message saying my account is overdue but NOTHING about the money that has gone missing. I told the staff at Davenport Absa this would happen and what do you know it has. All this bank is worried about is their money they don't care about the money that has vanished from my account.

So exactly what I said in the first post has happened. Absa now state the money has cleared my account and I must speak to the merchant Microsoft. Seriously if the bank just acted when I notified them on 2nd November 2021 this could of been resolved. I had already contacted Microsoft and they had already given me a reference number saying the transaction failed and I should contact the bank which I did and the bank now says I must phone Microsoft. I phoned Microsoft and as I thought they say phone the bank and the bank says phone Microsoft. I've tried actually calling the Absa consultants number but its engaged.

So both Microsoft and Absa say its the other persons fault and between the two of them my money has been ******. Great work guys love the customer support
