Poor service by Absa
I transferred money from my Absa account into an incorrect Absa account and immediately alerted Absa of the mistake. I was told to contact the person and request him to transfer it back into my account. I immediately did that and he sent a mail to Absa to request them to transfer it back into my account. 2 and half weeks later it’s not done. I have been with Absa since 1994 and the problems I have experienced the past 8 months say it’s time to move to a better bank. My card has been blocked to buy online and there’s no explanation. The cash send service was blocked in December for no reason. I have had enough of this poor service. Now an incorrect urgent transfer is still not resolved ??

18 Aug 2021, 20:20I received a response from Absa. It’s quite obvious that you did not investigate this matter but just wasted my time. The third has not once but twice sent an email to Absa and copied me requesting Absa to reverse the transaction and that has not been done to date. For you to send me a mail saying the third party has not instructed Absa to transfer funds back to me is a lie. I have since forwarded you the emails. I don’t think I want to be a client of a bank that treats its customers like this. I know I am a small client in the scheme of things but I will be closing my account after 27 years.
