No one ever answers the phone calls!!

I have been an Absa client for the past +/- 10yrs.

Two weeks ago( January 2025) , I wanted to make changes to my car , household contents and building insurance and tried to engage with Absa iDirect to no avail. Just when I was on the verge of cancelling soneone from vehicles department picked up and updated my details and I requested to be transferred to the other units. It has been a hassle there after. I have been calling Absa insurance and visiting the branches.... still to this day.... NO ONE Answers (including the so called "Retentions department"). I called again today, my 10th call this morning (again holding on for atleast 55 minutes).....to no avail once again....

I am utterly disappointment with Absa iDirect. The urgency for me to get these documents sent to me and everything to be completed correct is an understatement. Unfortunately, I have no option but to look elsewhere for all these services. I cannot request for documents and have 3 sent back and all incorrectly completed despite letting them know what I needed to be completed. I think its high time one starts looking for a more reasonable and competent insurance. I would never recommend Absa iDirect to anyone with their ridiculously over priced insurance policies.

Dear Vanessa

I have received numerous misleading messages from Absa stating I we have reviewed my vehicle premium and the documents I have requested have been sent, yet nothing has been processed. Could someone take the liberty to pick up the phone and call their client and follow up on such complaints. Its frustrating that this is the second week that I am going back and forth regarding this matter. If there is no correspondance by end of business day , kindly cancel all my policies that I have with Absa.
