Appalling service

Good morning

Please note that I am in Brazil and my credit card is not working. I cannot withdraw any funds. I have activated the account to be used outside the country and the app even shows that, but I still cannot withdraw any money.

I am stranded in a foreign country and I am extremely disappointed with the service I am getting.

This is the second time my card is not working in a foreign country .

I think it's time to end my businesses with you.

I have tried multiple ATM'S.

DO YOU THINK THAT I WOULD WASTE MY TIME ESCALATING THIS ISSUE IF EVERYTHING WAS WORKING.

IF YOU CLAIM THAT THERE'S NO PROBLEM, CAN YOU CONFIRM IF EVEN ONE SUCCESSFUL WITHDRAWAL WAS MADE FROM MY ACCOUNT .

THE CARD WORKS ON PURCHASES ANS SWIPES, BUT WITHDRAWAL IS NOT ALLOWED.

IT KEEPS SAYING THAT WE COULD NOT PROCESS YOUR TRANSACTION AT THIS TIME OR YOU PIN CODE IS WRONG

BUT ITS FINE BECAUSE ITS TIME TO. FNB.

No response from Absa.

As usual it's always the clients that's doing something wrong

It has been one week since I returned to the country, and ABSA has blatantly ignored my request. To date, no solution has been provided.

I would like to make @Pravesh Bejay (Customer Value Management) aware that, as a result of this ongoing lack of response, I will be downgrading my cheque account to the lowest available option. Furthermore, once my credit card is settled, I will be transferring my entire banking relationship to FNB.

This experience reflects a clear disregard for a long-standing and valued customer, and it appears there is little intention to resolve the issue at hand.As evidenced by my profile, you will be losing a valuable client.
Dont bother to escalate whatever that means on your last response
