Absa *****ing money and keeping it ********ly

I paid money from my Standard Bank account into an ABSA account that I did not know had been closed by the owner of the account.

I filled in a recall form to get Standard Bank to recall the money from ABSA. ABSA sent a dishonest and untrue email giving reasons as to why the money will not be recalled. If the account has been closed ABSA has no right to keep the money There is already a case with the Ombudsman regarding this account and still ABSA refuses to pay back money paid into an account that dose not exist any more.

Not true. Account was closed. If it was active the account holder would be able to return the funds and I would not have to log this complaint.

Account holder has already opened a case with the ombudsman regarding this account( in 2025) as others have paid into it and ABSA is holding onto those funds as well.
