Don't get an ABSA credit card, you will spend your life in the branch
App**** for a credit card online, the entire process is completely and utterly a waste of time. First they weren't happy with my proof of address because an invoice from my ISP isn't good enough. Then when I finally get the card I was told all I would have to do to activate it is call a number to setup a pin. That number only works if you have the app installed, and I don't because this is the first account I'm opening with them. Then I go into a branch to setup my pin which they do, and afterwards I try and use the card and it doesn't work. I have to go back to the branch only to be told they didn't activate the card, they just setup a pin. Then I try and use the tap and go on the card and it doesn't work, it only works when you insert it in the machine. So I install the app so I can maybe setup the tap and go but guess what? You have to go into a branch to setup limits because you can even use the app for anything meaningful. Complete and utter waste of time, and I see horror stories on here about cancelling their credit card account, so I'm going to have a lot of fun doing that as well.
