Blocked a new card???

I went in to Absa on Saturday and opened a checque account.<br> I left then bank and tried to use my card a few hours later, money had been transferred and refelected according to the internet banking.<br> For some reason it declined, i went back to the branch but they had closed.<br> I tried again at an ATM and said my card had not been activated yet.<br> I waited till this morning thinking that weekend rules may apply.<br> I phone through now and they say it has been blocked??????<br> I'd love to know how on earth this happened since ive never used the friggen thing?<br> And best of all your call center can't assist.<br> Now i have to go in to a branch again with time i do not have to activate it properly as you cannot do your job properly first time?<br> Well played Absa, very happy new customer right here. Just as poor service as FNB.<br> <br> Thank you for showing that as long as the banks are *****ing your money service means nothing.<br> <br>
