This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

2 weeks ago I went to the absa atm machine, just outside ABSA bank central cape town. I attemped to withdraw cash from the atm, The atm machine request me to remove my cash but no cash was dispensed.I went into the bank, a teller assisted me, saying that the complaint has been lodged and when the atm guys check the atm they will see that there is a balance over on the atm machine and my cash will be deposited into my account. 3 days later I called and no one could assist me. I then telephoned the complaints department, where a young lady, check the details of the complaint and asked me for a reference number, no reference number was issues to me.She said that the atm machine was over and that the cash should have been deposited. But its been 2 weeks now and no cash. Its my money and its their fault, why should I run after them and telephone them ? I hate ABSA and will be closing my account ASAP and want absolutely nothing to do with this poor excuse for a bank.

I had an accident in August 2023, logged a claim with ABSA Activate same month, to date still have not being assisted. I call almost everyday but I am getting the same response that my claim has been approved and sent to the mechanics for them to contact me. I have been waiting for assistance for nearly 3 months now.

Good day.

An amount of R 11 600 was debited in my account via a journal on 13/09/2023. My personal loan was in arrears and an arrangement was made. I need the monies credited back into my account.

I sold my Land Rover Defender on 28 Dec 2022. I requested the proxy documentation form as the Land Rover was still registered in ABSA Bank's name. I have up to date received no feedback. I was told it would take 7 days to process. It is now 12 days later and I have had no joy. I purchased the vehicle in 1997.

I am a small business owner and am regularly ignored by the bankers in charge of my accounts. Emails and phone calls are ignored continuously.

Ive noticed money was deducted from my account. Went to absa strand told me it was for an inactive account... They just closed the account and deducted a large amount fr my personal account.
I would like the money back as no correspondence were made with me that this was the case for an account i did not use!

I need to bank a large amount of cash and only 1 normal teller are available and no bulk teller. This is at ABSA Lambton court Webber Road Lambton Germiston. It is ot a pleasure to come to this ABSA because there is never enough tellers and the service is very slow.

I have been sitting in the line for 2 hours and nobody has helped me. They really need more people in the front because the lady and guy that are currently working at the desk are making more jokes with the customers and taking ages helping them

Claim registered for burst geyser.

No feedback to date. This is poor and unsatisfactory service from ABSA.

Once this problem is sorted when ABSA has decided its convenient, I will be moving all my documentation to another efficient banking institution.

I want immediate feedback and my problem sorted immediately!

On the 18th of August 2019 i could not withdraw money through cashsend, there were service providers i needed to pay and had no petrol to travel from Hammanskraal to Witbank to see my kids. Why do i need to struggle to access my money, the service is plain mediocre and disappointing to say the least

I submitted a complaint to absa in July regarding a July 6 transaction at their atm. Money was deducted but not returned to my account.

I'm still waiting for my money to be returned a month later and the relevant person no longer responds to my mails.

Absa should be held accountable for their indifference in dealing with other people's money.

I was at the cape gate on Saturday 6 July about my personal load being deducted.
I was given an email address of the lady in the bank as they do not have the personal loan's department's email address.
Up and till today no response from this lady. Although the manager assured me that they will sort this out for me.

Not a very happy Absa client.
