Pathetic Customer Service

So your system is down the entire day on Tues 12/4/23, it’s erratic on Wed 13/4/23, going down again in the afternoon, and on Thur 14/4/23 when I call in advance (so that your client, my 83 year old mother, doesn’t AGAIN have to be inconvenienced with a unsatisfactory trip), you tell me (because I ask) that you only have ONE customer service clerk in today, and confirm that the queues for assistance are very long. Duh? Are you surprised? Seriously ABSA ROSEBANK MALL? You are a big branch, how can this be your plan after 2 days of no service?? Total lack of care for your clients. Move to Standard Bank guys.

Dear ABSA
Apologies that it has taken me a month to give feedback and give credit to the manager at Killarney Mall ABSA (I am so sorry that I can’t recall her name), who contacted me directly the day after I posted my complaint and invited me to visit her at the Killarney Branch (seems she is also involved in the Rosebank Branch). My 84 year Mother was attended to in minutes, the issues she had been battling with were sorted in no time, AND she was given a beautiful pink peak cap and pen set for any previous inconvenience. But best of all was this ABSA employee’s attitude and manner. She treated my mum like a Queen, was so kind, and communicated patiently and beautifully (my mum is a bit hard of hearing). Truly this was an unusual and wonderful experience with a bank. Well done ABSA! And to that lovely lady at Killarney, thank you for your kindness and efficiency m, I do apologize that I can’t recall your name! Kind regards, Susi
