*********** banking

ABSa has frozen my flexi Bond facility with all my funds in there, I have not been given any explanation and neither a courtesy of a call. I had to sit on the phone for almost 30 minutes only to be advised that there is no mandate for my account Ont he system and my business account is almost 3 years old.

Reviewer Update
Despite ABSA’s request for additional time to investigate my complaint and the commitment to contact me by close of business on 29 October 2025 (no later than 7:00 PM), I have still not received any feedback or resolution.

This continued silence is unacceptable and reflects a complete disregard for your clients. The ongoing delay has caused significant inconvenience and financial distress to both myself and my staff. It is deeply concerning that a matter of this seriousness can be treated with such indifference. I have already begun the process of closing all our company’s accounts with ABSA and will be escalating this matter to the Banking Ombudsman, as our requests seem to fall on deaf ears and we are being held ransom now by our bank
