Account lockout and now have to go into a branch to activate it again

Good day,

Please advise how come my account has been locked out twice since Saturday?

This it totally not on as you guys say I need to visit a branch to activate my account again.

Firstly the queues at the bank take around an hour to get through

Secondly this s a health risk as I actually have to leave my home to do this

I want to know why my account is being locked out as there has been no change in my activity over the last 10 years of using Absa internet banking.

If this happens again I’m really going to consider moving to another bank

Kind regards Simon Skelton
