R25 ATM charge??

ABSA bank is charging me R25 to take cash out of the ATM and they just increased EFT charges from R11 to R15, which is a 36% increase!

Please fix both. That's ******ionate.

I got a call back, but I just got excuses. ABSA is charging me R2.50 per R100 withdrawal from an ATM (first two withdrawals free per year).
EFT's went up by 36%.
Overseas ATM withdrawals went up by 25%.

This is not an occasional service error - this is deliberate national strategy and is unacceptable. It's time for me to find a new bank.

ABSA came in with a R50 offer to make me go away and sign a form saying a retract my charge against them of massive increases with no link to inflation.

No, you're not listening to your customers!
