Pathetic service!

Pathetic service! I have spent over 2 hours with your service consultants - Derishni, Gugu, Koketso. Although they were professional, your systems are a definite let down. I logged a ***** case with you last week, received my card today but none of my accounts are on the banking app. I cannot link the accounts or retrieve my pin through your IVR option which I tried TWICE - which states that my contact number is wrong. I have used the same pin, contact number and card several times and this should not be an issue. I need someone to contact me today as I will NOT be going to a branch to have this rectified. In the age of technology, your services are really below standard. I have NEVER struggled like this with ABSA!

Emma called but the information she relayed is useless as it should have been provided by the first person I made contact with. There is no redeeming your service post this encounter.

Tshepang from Sanridge Square branch assisted me and actually apologized for the service failure, something that none of your contact center agents did. Relay this message to him as he was the ONLY one who cared enough about my frustration. Furthermore, please communicate to your staff the process to follow should they encounter what I did. Do the right thing the first time around and you might just save your reputation.
