ABSA Home Loans service sucks!

ABSA does not allow you access to internet or app banking if you only have a home loan with them (have to have a transactional account). Only way to get help is to phone a call centre that is completely useless. In the last two days, I have spent nearly 20 minutes, first jumping through the IVR hoops, which DOES NOT WORK, then waiting in vain for someone to answer. It costs me time and money on phone calls etc. And to this point my simple inquiry has not been answered.

Here is the response I refer to??????????
Dear Arno



We refer to your complaint forwarded to our office for assistance .

In order to have access to internet banking , a transactional account needs to be opened to cater for the banking fees.

The home loans account is not a transactional account and cannot be used as a primary account for internet banking.

If you require further information regarding your home loans account, please contact our home loans call center on *** for assistance

We do apologies for the inconvenience caused
