ABSA SUCKS

We have just returned from Absa still trying to digest the experience. My husband has been in the country for 36 years and have never had credit. He has been a client of Absa for 12 years, has a monthly income plus a large amount on an investment a/c. He app**** for a credit card as it is the only way we can pay Netflix/Showmax and was told he was declined because he has no credit record. REALLY??? Does the 12 years with them not count for anything? Does his investment money not count for anything? It is difficult to express our disgust.

Reviewer Update
Absa's response in resolving this matter is to ask for proof of income, copy of I.D. and 3 months' bank statements, all of which are readily available at their bank and has been for the last 10+ years. I'm not surprised reading on the news that they are losing customers by the droves.
