I don't know what came over me to consider Absa.

The account was eventually FICA'd at around 1pm. (don't know for how long this time). I still have issues with internet banking but I was told once again to go to the branch for that, for which I hope it is the last time I have to go to the branch and stand in a queue. Here is the point of me putting this on here. a Bank, or any institude for that matter cannot just tell a client sorry, you cannot access your money because certain departments are not open over weekends. It is not the clients problem, surely someone should be either on standby, or have the ability to override any of these systems when need be. I had to borrow money from someone and pay them interest simply because I had no way to access my salary. I had to phone and hope that my car payments can be moved until monday to ensure I do not pay any penalties on it etc. No one person at absa will care about what it cost ME to cater for THEIR problems. So here is my suggestion, instead of Absa only caring about the money they make from clients, instead read all the bad responses on hellopeter and actually take note off it and do something about it. Being proactive beats being reactive. Kind Regards Gerhard
