AVOID ABSA BUNCH OF *******

AVOID ABSA if you want to keep your money safe! They lost +- R25000 of my elderly mother's money and pressured her to bring her peso's to rand while she was trying to send money to one of her children. They ahould have given her the option to leave the money in peso's and use an alternative overseas account which was available at the time. Instead they behaved hysterically telling her to convert to rand right now without explaining the consequences or giving her alternative options. This is not the first time a family member of mine has been done in by Absa. My father's business account was flagged due to ***** BEE partner. Absa allowed said ***** BEE partner to help himself to my father's business's money. Hundreds of thousands lost as well. There are more incidents like this! Not once has Absa taken responsibility or given the money back. They just say case closed. I would urge anyone who banks with Absa or is considering to bank with Absa to go elsewhere or be prepared to loose your money. AVOID AVOID AVOID!
