ABSA doesn't trust their own 3D secure technology

ABSA has been blocking Steam online purchases for the past couple of months, supposedly due to a high number of ***** cases arising from transactions on that site.

Normally I'd be happy that the bank protects me, but don't they understand how their own 3D secure work? They really should just say "allow transaction only if 3D secure check passed".

Steam summer sale just ended so the 5 games I would have gotten for R157 have not gone back up to over R1100.

Since I have 3D secure enabled and it would prevent ***** if correctly implemented, ABSA owes me the difference.

P.S I did phone and when I asked them what should I do, the lady told me there is nothing I can do. This is wrong, because it turns out there is an option that still works by buying vouchers through the Absa banking app. She should have told me this.
