ABSA Bank counter clerk giving negative financial advice and derogating another bank

Absa clerk empowered to dispense financial advise... Amazing that a clerk at Absa bank sees his way open to provide (negative) advice regarding another bank. When an elderly couple went in to Absa to transact, transferring some of their savings to Bank X because they get better interest, better service and lower bank fees from Bank X; he advised them that they should not do that because Bank X is in deep trouble and they could lose their money.
One can only assume that Absa understands FAIS and that their policies allow this to happen. BTW I have been banking with Bank X for some years now and they provide very professional services

ABSA Bank lack of customer service/non resolved incident

On 1 June, I went to ABSA in Karaglen to make a cash deposit of a considerably large sum of money.
I was assisted by a teller who took the money and proceeded to count the notes on her lap. I wondered why she countered it manually. There was an electronic money counting machine on her table. The teller then used the machine to count the money again. Upon leaving the bank, I realised that the deposited amount was R500.00 less than it should have been. I countered the money and remember the amount that I had given to the teller. I did not go back to stand in the queue as I was in a hurry to get back to my office. I phoned the bank and informed the Manager about the incident. I never accused anyone as I understand how an assumption can ruin another person’s reputation. I asked the manager to check the camera to see, perhaps some notes fell on the floor when the teller countered by hand. I have left several messages for the branch manager without receiving feedback and my call being lost 3 times at the switchboard. I went in to the bank at 12h15pm on 6 June and I went to meet the branch manager. She was not friendly & seemed apathetic to the incident. I asked her if she had seen the teller counting the money twice, she said no. Apparently the cameras do not have a view of the tellers physical interaction with the money that is handed to them, only that of the counting machine. When I asked a few questions regarding the footage, she became defensive and asked if I was interrogating her. I would never do that, as a client, I was just trying to determine if she could provide some clarity on the what she saw on the camera. She said that there is nothing that the Absa can do and quickly tried to conclude. I am out of pocket of R500.00 and it all ended in the office of the delightful branch manager. I am very disappointed by the level of service and disregard for their client’s money. I certainly would have appreciated being treated like a valued client.

ABSA Bank rd cheques

I am a platinum client of ABSA for a good few years and have many accounts with the bank. I am also a business owner of not one but two businesses and both the accounts are held by ABSA. I have various other accounts with this bank including a home lone.
I have introduced my family to ABSA and they all have dealings with the bank.
My mum sold her home and invested her funds with this bank.
I issued two cheques of small amounts and called the bank and requested they do not RD the cheques as I have a huge payment made to my business account the day before from another bank, as it's show up the next evening. The lady that I had spoken to ignored my request on holding on to the cheques just for a few hours and RD them. This is now put a negative record on my account because of inconsideration to good clients.

ABSA Bank car loan and bad service

after 28 years of banking at absa, I'm forced to withdraw my banking history with absa and seek new banking grounds, who would be eager to help me.

never had such a bad service as a platinum account holder.

empty promises is all there is to absa, maybe FNB, Standard or Nedbank will be better.

Wesbank is willing to help me purchase a vehicle, but not absa, WHY

Good day, my wife’s car is 3 months in arrears as her business isn’t doing well. We applied for a payment restructure as we thought things might get better. However things are only moving now, we requested from ABSA if we can make one month payment to keep the vehicle as it would cripple both her and the business. We promised as things will pick up we will settle the arrears but they refuse. We’ve been begging them as we will loose big after paying +/- R200k, we know we will most probably be left wit +/- R100k after auctions. They bluntly refuse to accept the payment of one month and work toward a plan to settle arrears.

Do you have any advise or is this our fate?

ABSA Bank bad service

Today I have phoned Absa to 3d secure as that is what you need to purchas3 online. So the consultant said 3d secure is enabled. So I tried to purchase again, still nothing. Then I have ohoned general enquiries, who sends me back to 3d secure. And then 3d secure says no they wont be able to help me in the bank then as, the branch refers the clients to 3d secure, So honestly in my opinion ABSA is useless and I seriously am going to change banks and tell all my family and friends as well. Because of all the expensive tariffs they are charging their customers, I would have thought that they atleast know what is happening in their bank. Sadly mistaken

ABSA Bank short term insurance

I would like to lodge a serious complaint against your ABSA Short Term Insurance Department for not attending/ responding to my email correspondence in connection with my short term insurance policy number [protected]*001. I tried during 2014 as well as the past week to draw their attention without any success. In 2014 after failing to communicate with them I had to utilize the services of an ABSA freelance financial advisor, ms. Elizma Kotze to assist me but unfortunately resigned. I am paying my monthly premium as well as a monthly brokers fee but do not receive any service which is unfair. The email concerned is as follows:
Good day
POLICY NUMBER [protected]*001
I was informed by Bongekile Dlamini that your office is responsible for the maintaining of short term insurance policies. Your office does not respond to my emails the past few days and I therefore referred it to him. I would like you to give urgent attention to the following matter, please.
I communicated with you with difficulty in 2014 and now I find it now difficult again to draw your attention urgently. My premium increase of R 167.78 to R259.08, in other words, almost R100 per month is shocking for me. My bank statement for February is attached for your notice and you will agree with me that I cannot afford the premium increase. We can barely survive with my monthly Transnet pension of R 5100 m. On 1 January my medical aid contribution increased with R 90.00 per month, the levy on my townhouse will be increasing with 75.00 per month from 1 April and later in the year increases in property tax and water and lights will follow. What is incomprehensible to me is that my house content is insured for R 262, 168. I occupy a small 2 bedroom town house with security and my house hold content consists of minimum house hold equipment and furniture such as:
MAIN BEDROOM

Double bed with bedding, dresser and old curtains.
Clothing myself, 3 shorts, 3 shirts, 2 sets payamas, underwear and sandals, no suits, shirts, ties and shoes because I am mostly bed ridden as a result of emphysema.
Clothing my wife, lingerie, 3 dresses, blouses 4 with 4 matching skirts and trousers, 4 pairs of shoes and sandals.
SPARE ROOM
1 single bed with bedding and curtain

TV / LOUNGE / DINING ROOM

4x2 20 year old cane sitting room couch and chairs
Wood TV cabinet with TV, HiFi, DSTV decoder (which I have to cut off soon) and DVD player.
Dining table and chairs
KITCHENNETE
Refrigerator and stove
Minimum pots, pans, cups, saucers, plates and cutlery for 4 persons stacked in 2 kitchen cupboards.
Groceries, we only buy weekly minimum grocery and some are provided by my son from time to time what we need. Furthermore, we only eat mince meat dishes and stews made of doggie bones (pieces).
In view of the above you have to agree with me that it is impossible that my house hold content worth is R 262, 168 and should therefore be redused to a reasonable level of R 190 000.

MOTOR CAR
I still own the 1998 Volkswagen Jetta which worth is certainly not R 34 200 and myself estimate it to the value of R 29, 000.

In view of the above it would therefore be appreciated if you could reduce my premium to an acceptable level, please.
Kind regards

ABSA Bank lack of customer service

Good day

I was extremely disappointed to go into ABSA field street yesterday 08/03/2016 around 08.40 to open an account, when there was no one at reception to assist me, I sat there and one of the consultant who came out of the first office and advised she will be back shortly. She went up the escalators she took about 10 mins there. One staff member went pass us greeted us but didnt even bother to ask if we have been assisted as yet, few of ABSA staff members did the same thing. The lady who went upstairs came back didn't say a thing went into her office took her back that was around 09.00 in the morning and went out the door leaving the office. Leaving me and few others people who came after me sitting like we had nothing better to do, worse I had asked for the morning off at work.

There was no communication with us why no one was assisting us, why we had to wait or how long it will take for someone to actually take notice and assist us. I found that service to be unacceptable and rude to say the least.

I have to say ABSA has lost a client and its obvious they will continue to loose more client if they continue to operate in the manner they did yesterday.

ABSA Bank monthly pension not received

Good Morning
My name is Claudene Jacobs id no [protected] phone number [protected] email adress is Claudene.[protected]@standardbank.co.za Pension fund number [protected].
I have a complain with the pension fund department I have been struggling to have the monthly payment for February paid out to me as comunicated with Alta Praeg. I must say im disgusted with her service or should i say the lack of service I received from her as she calls herself a manager.If management treats customers in this way it is no wonder that the staff does the same because she doesn't lead by example.
Im very disappointed in the service that I have been receiving with the pension funds department. I did not receive any comunication with regards to a proof of studies that was suppose to be submitted by end of January 2016 the monthly pension was stopped and when i called in i was advised that it is because they never received the proof of studies they send it to me which I completed had it stamped at the school and then send it back to them. They advised that the paymemt will only be made for the next month payroll which would be end of March. I did explain to them that I can't wait that long as the funds is needed as there is certain things we do with the funds every month for the child.I then requested the details of the manager in that department and they provided me with Alta Praeg details who promised me she was gona do an out of process cycle payment and the funds would be available on the 2nd of March after 17:00 until today there is still no funds availabe in my account I have since send emails to Alta Praeg, Madeleine Graaff, Melissa Woest and Phindile Masha requesting assitance to advice why the payment was not made into my account as promised until today not any of them replied to say they received my email they busy with the query or this is the problem or any response from them. Im really disgusted at the service im getting especially since I was dealing with a manager.Please can this be adressed with them and my query resolved please.As explained to Alta the funds is needed and i can't wait for the funds to be paid into the account end of March.I really hope this can be resolved asap and also the person's dealt with that is not willing to assist customers.

ABSA Bank call centers

I have had enough! When ever I need something from absa they take forever to respond or simply never respond, but when they need something i have 2 hours to resolve it or else i am the ### of the earth.I have contacted them regarding my credit card every few months since last year October and still nothing. Today I received a phone call from a very aggressive call center regarding an issue of unpaid monies and instead of her hearing the answers I had for her questions she insisted on insulting me as a paying customer I should have know my account was in areas and resolved in within 2 hours. Well excuse me madam but clearly I needed time to allocate the monies had you given me the respect and decensy to explain instead of continously interupt ing me and insulting me you would have heard that. This is in fact the first time in over 15 years of banking with absa that a bill has gone Unpaid and this is how I am treated! I deserve a better bank. LAST CHANCE ABSA RESOLVE OR LOOSE A CLIENT. Eventhough you might not care about one clients

ABSA Bank vehicle finance - general service

I have been struggling to first of all get a settlement letter on my vehicle in order to sell it and clear my account. Then after investigation, i found that there was over R23 000 loaded on my account without my consent for a "balloon/residual" amount in 2013. I bought the car in 2011 with NO residual. Now after finally getting the settlement letter and paying the vehicle off, i am once again struggling to get my registration papers. How difficult can this be? The consultant could not help me and just put me through to another consultant in another language. I have to call everyday, from my own phone, to find our what is going on.

I have had enough of ABSA, I will never ever do business with ABSA again.

ABSA Bank cheque

My name is Lentheng Fortune Letshele with ID NO: [protected], I have a 32 days notice account ([protected]) with ABSA.
I am accused and criminally charged for been cashed a cheque number: ([protected] 323345 [protected] 18) of Matima Project Management Enterprise on the 25/08/2008. under case number 922/11/2009 of TEMBA SAPS.
The investigation is done by SAPS and I was provided with the copy of the docket for TRIAL, and the Prosecution provided me with the copy of the check only, which I dispute knowing or in possession of the cheque for cashing at ABSA. The prosecution did not provide me with any document from ABSA showing that I am the person with my ID number who produced the ID book at the branch and cash the cheque. Because I am conducting my own defense in this matter. I will like ABSA to assist me to defend my case, as I am accused of been visited ABSA branch and cashed a the above mentioned Cheque.

Looking forward to your response as I am given opportunity to study the documents I am accused of, but my worry is how does ABSA confirm that it is me who cashed the cheque yet there is no any document or achieve document showing that.

I am innocent here, but accused of visited ABSA and cashed a cheque.

Regards

Fortune Letshele

ABSA Bank payment for insurance claim not received

On 5 Jan 2016 I submitted an insurance claim to ABSA after the assessor completed his report. Only on 14 Jan 2016 (after several e-mail requests) the settlement form was sent to me for acceptance. I returned the signed setllement document the same day to ABSA. Up to today, 20 Jan 2016, nothing has happened as far as the settlemnet is concerned. I am a ABSA (former Volkskas Bank) client for over fourty years and this type of service and treatment is unacceptable. This is not about the amount, but rather the principle.

ABSA Bank vehicle insurance that wants me to take up the case with damages done to my vehicle because the insurance had my car taken away without my knowledge

2 years ago i drove my voyager over a piece of tyre on the road and the car stopped a few kilometres further. I had it towed in to john williams. There after opening up the motor they discovered that some kind of an oil pype was hit or got loose during the accident. They gave me a full report that i send to my insurance. After the assessor was there and he took photos as well, he reported to my insurance that there is no claim due to lack of evidence. A few weeks later i phoned john williams to find out if the assessor has been there already and they told me that my vehicle has been written off and towed away already. I then phoned i-direct to ask what is going to happen from there onwards . They just said that the claim was rejected. I tried for 2 weeks to find out who gave permission to tow away my car and where my car was towed to...Without any luck. I got hold of the company that towed the vehicle and they told me it was in bloemfontein at smd. The next day i went there just to find that my car was bumped all over and being moved around the yard with a forklift. Another mont went by and after threatning to reprt the vehicle as stolen the people from i-direct had my car send back. John williams assesed the new damages to my suspension, body work and exhaust and i send it to i-direct. They then told me some nondens about john williams also using forklifts to move vehicles and that i must take it up with smd myself. Well it has been 2 years and i have been made offers of r26500.00 and the latest was r5000 just to not bother them again. I now come back to my bank were my insurance is and i have been paying my monthly payment every month since the accident. Asba should never have taken away my vehicle and they should sort this out . The claim no. [protected]*001*003 i have spoken to gillmore fillis, richard moiloa, mr.Pederson, jolene and leandrew at smd, jacos saayman the assessor and many others and keep on ending back at the beginning. I have tried my best to leave out all bad words, but at this moment i have noyhing good to say about the service that i received. My day starts at 03.00 and ends at 18.00. I 've tried doing it on my own but i am paying for a service every month and want something to be done immediately. My id.
