BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE BY ABSA

Absa ***** division is completely useless, they have no desire to investigate ***** claims or assist clients to recover monies, instead they are only interested in shielding Absa from liability. I reported a ***** to Absa, asked them to perform a charge back which would allow Paystack to also investigate the merchant and they refuse on the basis that the transaction was authorized by me. The lady who handled my case was unprofessional, not a good listener, lacks basic empathy, is very opinionated, patronizing and has very poor customer service. Her only interest was telling me what she knows and refused any suggestion that she contact Paystack, despite me being at pains to explain this ad nauseum. It saddens me that I have been a loyal customer with Absa for over 10 years, now I must find another bank. Shame on you Absa and your impotent and *********** team. I cant wait for the day Artificial Intelligence replaces all of you.

I am still waiting for a reply or resolution to my complaint. This issue is simple, Absa should stop the transaction, contact the merchant to notify them of the dispute and reverse the charges, no deli ery was made and merchant informed of cancellation. ***** case reported to Absa and SAPS.

Look, giving me a letter of repudiation is far from giving my matter attention, all Absa has to do is follow my instructions to dispute the charge with Paystack, and stop trying to shield itself from liability. You are not handling this matter properly and all your agents parrot each other. Common sense is indeed not common. Absa has failed me again.

I am please to report that ABSA finally got their act together and my issue has been resolved. I suggest that they train their ***** investigators better and streamline this process of charge backs across all departments.
The corporate dispute division has been excellent in dealing with my matter and I commend all of them. ABSA needs to understand that the world is smaller and international transactions are inevitable, as such, ********s have found creative means to siphon money off ABSA clients, so it is important not just to detect but to have strong restotionary measures in place. I thank you, faith restored.
