Worst feedback for bond application

After more than 5 business days, ABSA is still unable to provide me with a bond offer. What is worst is that I actually work through a bond broker and we should be getting feedback even quicker. I would think that the fact that I've been a client with ABSA for years and that my current bond is with ABSA, they would be eager to get an offer out to me, but clearly not. Well ABSA, you have until tomorrow to give me an offer before I accept an offer from a different bank, and with that I'm taking my bank account too.

Update: ABSA only willing to give 80% loan while other banks will give 100%. Extremely disappointed. Well, if you're not willing to match, I'm done with you ABSA.

Well, you better hurry up. By the end of today I will have to make my decision. If you can not match the other bank's offer (rather not mention names) I am done with Absa. My wife and I will both close out accounts with you and you will loose a mortgage client as well.

Will ABSA give a better offer or not? It's simple. Yes or no?
