ADMIN FEES

When I have opened my account with Absa Bank, I took a package and was advised of the fees involved, being the monthly fee and should my monthly transactions exceed the package, then I will pay per transaction. However, there has not been any transactions exceeding my package, yet I am being charged excessive admin fees (Head Office) and upon inquiring same at my branch, I am being referred to call the Call Centre as it is fees by the Head Office. These admin fees exceeds double the package amount payable per month and I strongly feel that this is a total *******. I want all the "admin fees" from the date my account was open to date paid back to me.

Good day Pravesh.

Many thanks for your kind response herein. I have liaised with a Consultant (Chad Smith) at the Kenilworth Branch today, who was indeed very helpful. My query was dealt with in an amicable manner, which I sincerely appreciate.

After great consideration, I will be closing my account with Absa Bank due to its excessive fees as I am paying 10 times the banking charges to Absa Bank then the affordable rates that Capitec charges.

Thanking you,
