Wow, that was super service !

I don't often buy stuff online in foreign currency, but have had my eye on something for a while. Today I decided to order it online and pay with my ABSA Credit Card via PayPal. Before the "payment rejected" screen even finished loading, my phone started ringing - someone from ABSA was calling to hear if it was me trying to spend a fairly large amount on my card online. After a quick checking of credentials, I re-submitted the purchase and my package is now being shipped. Today is a public holiday, but rather than take the day off, ABSA is looking out for suspicious transactions on my card. I'm pleased and impressed. Thank you ABSA !
