Absa Premium to replace Platinum Banking

Absa has informed Platinum Banking clients they will be migrated onto a new package called Premium Banking.

FNB did this a while ago.

 

[Creag]

Question is whether they can deliver said package as experience.

Premium Banking is available to Absa clients who earn between R25,000 and R62,500 per month, and comes with a “red core card” – one card with which you can access your debit, credit, and savings account.

Capitec did that since last year already.

 

[Kosmik]

This process was done so badly. The change was done a few days ago yet no concrete details or information was sent to clients.

We don't care fanboy...

I am looking at switch to this account but I am a bit concerned about the bank charges. I am with them now with a gold check account that i have had all the years for which they said there are set charges per month but i far exceed that and i hardly draw any cash and use less than free withdrawls. Seriously looking at capitec

Capitec is life.

So now only 7 free ATM cash withdrawals? TSEK naaiers.

"Absa rewards may also be added for an extra R23 per month", so you have to pay to get rewards? And let me guess they cap your rewards at R20.....

Actually no. You've always paid for the rewards service but depending on spend and tier can get back quite a bit. Most I've had is around R350 cash.

Capitec does all that at 1/500th of the price

 

[Hemi300c]

I bet this will happen:-
Go to the ATM or try buy something and your card is stopped because it's been transferred to "Premium"

No they don't...

Capitec's Credit card is expensive.
Their Debit Card is what R5 per month....

At R35p/m it's the cheapest of the lot.

Ex transactions.

All i know is my wife who's account is with capitec pays way less bank charges than me and I mainly transact online. She withdraws money at ATM's other than Capitec like its normal and yet still pays way less than me the bank with ABSA.

It's the cheapest credit card available in South Africa last time I checked.

No, it's R21 currently, and I get about R150-200 per month.
