## Absa Banking Reviews in Australia

### *---- "Transfer issue"
I incorrectly organised two transfers from Tony Maple to Rosemary Maple I have not been able to edit them or remove them
-- mad as a snake, 2024-02-13

### *---- "Cash send"
I recently tried to do a Cash Send transaction of R4900, which all went out of my account with no issues. When the recipient tried to withdraw the funds, this is not an option at an ATM as the limit is R4000. At no point while I was doing this transaction does it say anything about the ATM limit. What it does say is that the whole amount sent has to be withdrawn at once. How can this be done if there is an ATM withdrawal amount limit? Something which is supposed to make life easier has been very difficult.
-- Exasperated Lou, 2023-06-18

### *---- "ABSA Bank App"
If you live abroad - this app and ABSA is the start to your troubles. They just not interested - “Come in and see us” I’ve heard that just too many times.
-- Jowaca63, 2022-11-22

### *---- "TEST YOUR APPS BEFORE RELEASING"
New App version not working. Asks for Id number then keeps connecting.. such a bad app design!!
-- DoctorJpad, 2022-01-03

### *---- "Credit card"
Cannot close credit card online and bank is still charging fir fees if card is not required or used in the last 10 months
-- Pumba777, 2021-09-16

### *---- "Not good"
Got a new mobile number and phone, and after transferring the app to the new phone and changed my mobile number to the new number on the app. After this the 2 step verification did not work. I deleted the app and reinstalled it, and now it does not register the new number and I cannot link my new device since the “verification” request is STILL being sent to my previous number. I live abroad and cannot physically go to the bank to sort this out. Really really disappointing - unfortunately I am now forced to consider changing to a different bank since this is not the first (or last) issue I have had with Absa.
-- Soon-to-be-ex-ABSA-client, 2021-06-20

### ****- "Lost data"
I had the same issue after I updated the app. It’s really annoying.
-- Boet Madlisa, 2021-02-14

### ***** "Lost data"
After upgraded version 6.20.1,lost all data. How can I do for this issue online because I am abroad?
-- yongchwong, 2021-02-09

### *---- "Useless app"
Updated app and now 2 step verification does not work, all was well until update. Sent e-mail to supplied address and no response. Sitting in Australia and can do no transactions as a result of flawed update.
-- tired of pathetic apps, 2021-02-04

### ***** "Impossible to get proper help from abroad"
I live in Australia but still use my ABSA account to donate to charities etc in SA.
My Absa card was stolen and then later my app ceased to work.  I can only reinstall the app by using the number of my old card.  But no one will give it to me.  I can’t come into the branch....planes aren’t flying because of COVID. I am wiling to answer a myriad of security questions if someone would just help me.
Surely some contingency plan can be made during a pandemic
Distressed Down Under
-- Distressed Down Under, 2021-01-12

### *---- "Useless app"
Need to continuously relink device with no apparent reason. Linking never work. I live abroad which make it near impossible to get anything sorted through the helpdesk. Come on ABSA - you can do better. 👎
-- HelpU2MakeItBetter, 2020-10-30

### ***** "Repeated reinstalls needed - NOW AGAIN!!!"
This is now the THIRD time that I have had to reinstall this app - losing all the data and having to go through about 20 complex steps to re-verify and reset all the ‘trusted devices’ - what a pain!!! The app just stops working and gives only a solid red screen.
I am living abroad and need this app to be fully functional so that i can continue my affairs in South Africa. I have just sold a house and need to make amounts around and THIS DAMN APP STOPS AGAIN - forcing yet another full re-install!!!! Get you App developers to fix this!!!
-- internationally frustrated, 2019-05-26

### ****- "Impossible to get working."
I’ve got to the point where the app allows me to use it as a verification device (after multiple setup attempts) and can login to my banking on desktop. Still can’t login on the app as it says my credentials are wrong (which I know there are not as their the 5digit code I setup minutes earlier). Worth choosing another bank just to avoid this app.

UPDATE: after writing this original review (1 star) one of ABSA’s iOS Devs contacted me to troubleshoot. It took a while but all they needed to do was reset my credentials and it is not working. It’s a pretty good once working so happy I sorted it out. Thanks to Johan for the help.

### *---- "Your update doesn’t work...it crashes!! 😡"
It’s still red...but it’s broken ☹️
-- Fo spells go, 2019-01-26

### *---- "Doesn&#039;t work"
Looks good, but I&#039;ve not been able to login as App keeps crashing. Bring back the old app!
