ABSA NotifyMe costs 48c per e-mail

[MarthinusSwart]

Absa sends very high quality emails through premium servers that is why it costs 48c per email. These emails even have a fragrance.

Yes, it smells like BS

When you get a homeloan through ABSA you pay R100 emailing fee as part of you admin costs.

Glad I moved away from ABSA last year.

 

[gregmcc]

I see even more people moving over to FNB.

ABSA have got the mentality of Telkom - just trying to rip people off.

 

[Tjoker]

ABSA, Proudly raping our customers one by one!!!

EDIT : My GF moved over to FNB because of ALL the banking charges.........FFEN ridiculous!!!

I think the article picture says "ABSA, carrying your money away"

 

[karnuffel]

Looking at the poll results it seems that we have one ABSA employee on MYBB.

FNB's In-Contact notifications are STILL free, including both SMS and e-mail messages. They do, however, charge a fee if you wanted your notification to go to the person you are paying. Also, FNB On-Line internet banking, and even cellphone banking, is ALSO free with your FNB account. I ditched ABSA ages ago in favour of FNB because they used to charge R80 a month for internet banking.

Capitec charges 40c per sms on that global one account. I think I pay +-R50 a month for all transactions.
I moved away from ABSA last month. I just need to go cancel my account. 12 years with ABSA!

Oh and Absa does not like stupid Afrikaners like myself :/

Yes, ironic as ABSA=Volkskas. I'm so glad I closed my account and don't have to deal with their **** anymore.

 

[kedul]

Yea, I think its time to move on myself. FNB / Standard ?
Iv'e been at VOLKSKAS / ABSA since 1975.

Time to move to FNB... loving the value-adds and cost saving compared to ABSA...

 

[william riker]

My ABSA is my shepherd...it fleeces me.

Incredible Rip off for e-mail. Fnb is a fixed monthly account fee and Incontact, E-mail statements, Internet banking is free with unlimited transactions. So that's a 2rd South African Company screwing the consumer this week. Vodacom and Absa any chance related?

Heard a FNB ad this morning about the 15% back with fuel. Now with petrol price increasing it means you get even more back. Clever

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Haha what a fail. They charge you for internet banking and notifications.

I have my notifications set to both sms and email (email so that I have a formal record, sms so that I have immediate notification), both free with FNB.

 

[stevenv]

One of the biggest reasons why I switched from ASBA to FNB

 

[rph72]

inContact is free, ie. notifications coming to you. They do charge however if you want to make a payment and want the recipient to receive an email/sms/fax. Generally easier to download the thing yourself and email it for free though.

Yes, I'm aware of that. I do that as well for once off payments.

 

[gregmcc]

Would be interesting to have a poll to see what bank people are with. By the sounds of it everyone is with FNB.
