Pillar To Post

<p>I recently opened a savings account at the Lillian Ngoyi Street branch. I wanted to gauge ABSA's level of customer service before opening a Cheque Account. </p> <p>ABSA's Cheque Account is the only one of the big four I haven't tried. I unnecessarily spent more time in the bank as a result of the perceived laziness of one of the staff members despite the bank being almost empty at the time.</p> <p>I was sent from pillar to post as one consultant claimed he was offline just after opening the account and the other consultant blaming the former of lazineess in following through the request to link other ABSA related accounts.</p> <p>Most of my credit cards are linked with ABSA and I thought I would significantly save on transaction fees If I transacted from one account.</p> <p>I am suddenly not sure if it would be a good after the bank's first impression.</p>
