Security upgrade

I do internet banking at home. I do not have internet banking on my phone. However, the new security upgrade requires me to download an app to my phone. My phone can't do this. I went to the Knysna branch who couldn't help me. I spent the entire afternoon calling your internet help line as well as holding on for a manager. I was told by the consultant to get another phone!! This is not good enough. I have been with ABSA for 30 years and am not impressed at all. Kindly advise what I can do.

Hi, my husband does not have a smart phone for his account and I have a Samsung J1 which does not work with this app. He was told by ABSA Knysna that it was not necessary to have a smart phone. I am not impressed that I now cannot get onto our accounts!!!!! If ABSA would like to supply me with a smart phone that can do the upgrade that would be fine. I am not prepared to spend money to sort this out. Please advise.
