Shame on you Absa... capilatising on crime like that.
lol at absa`s marketing response. Its even sadder than the 48c ripoffs. Looks a bit automated.

You are wrong, ABSA is NOT CAPITALISING on crime in this case, IMHO they are COMMITTING a crime. BIG difference.

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 :)

It's "UP TO" 15% though. I doubt many people are getting that.
I'm getting 5% which is not bad. Means at least R50 or so in ebucks every month. R600 a year for free, can't argue with that!
 
Hi, my name is Skerminkel
It's been four years since my last transaction.
I was an ABSA addict for 20 years.
I feel better now.
 
Very Funny ABSA

I am with FNB and get both Email and SMS notification for all my transactions, best part, it is FREE

Poor absa clients

No, I felt crooked by everything that ABSAd did. That's why I moved to FNB :).

Correct. Forgot the 'up to' :) I got about R100 back this month so no complaints!
 
ABSA are just common thieves.

The "Full Management Fee" only covers your current account - you'll still pay for notifications on your credit card (which is where most transactions will take place).

You have to be really thick to still bank with ABSA.

I mean they now introduce this great new product a ridilous fees which other banks like FNB have been offering for years for free.

FNB's Incontact is free for SMS & email.

Did ABSA perhaps partner with Vodacon for this NotifyMe?

One of reasons why I switched to FNB this last month from Standard Bank. Its a big mission to move all my debit orders over, but I felt that charging me R17 a month AND per transaction is a RIP-OFF. Oh and I also pay almost R200 to cap my monthly service fee. This DOESN"T include notifications which I pay for extra.

Emails are a free part of their internet infrastructure...why charge clients.

Standard Bank notifications are 90% of the time VERY late... sometimes half a day late. Wheres the security in that.

STANDARD BANK... YOU SUCK!

I'm VERY happy with FNB.

Absa have also had it for ages.
 
This is why I left ABSA some time ago and moved to Capitec Bank. The banking fees don't even compare!

I wish I could move away from absa, but currently my access bond is with absa, and I use it to manage cash flow on my current account, otherwise I would have moved long time ago.

Exactly the same problem - if another bank offered me the same interest rate - I'd move.
