ABSA international swift payment issue

I tried to get assistance from ABSA to make an international SWIFT payment as I could not select either of my accounts to pay from on online banking. The consultant told me this is because they need to make my transactional savings account my primary account (which I already tried to do TWICE at the bank and they didn’t do anything!) now I am overseas and they are telling me that I need to physically go to an ABSA branch so that someone can change my primary account?? You need me there so you can click a button? Ridiculous.
