ABSA very weak credit card ***** protection

R7000 was deducted from credit card *** WITHOUT any notification to me. Apparently from UK into a AIRBNB unspecified account. I received a sms and immediately (on 13 July) phoned the hotline to report ***** and stop the card. The amounts were still on "hold" at that stage. After 2 days (15 July) I checked and the amounts were cleared! I.e. deducted from my account! I just received an automated reply from ABSA via email and so far no response. Very bad :( JF DE VOS

At the end the matter was resolved. ABSA reverse charged the Airbnb payments and the money was restored to my account. It took 9 days. Thank you ABSA!
