ABSA systems do not work - use another bank

Since yesterday morning, I have been trying to make an urgent overseas payment through ABSA internet banking, using their Western Union functionality. When I kept receiving error messages yesterday, I called their platinum helpline and was told that there were problems with the functionality and that I should try again in half an hour. I did this, but there were still problems.<br> <br> I have tried again a couple of times today, and keep getting the same error message.<br> <br> More than 2 hours ago, I sent an email to ABSA telling about this problem, pointing out that I was trying to make an URGENT payment, and asking when their system would be working. They have received and read the email, but still have not responded.<br>
