Is it just me or does anyone else find the name a bit chauvinistic?
And it is also very typical Traditional Banking. You can have "this", but it has the following limitations. You can't do "this", "this", "this", "this", "this", "this" or "this" and definitely not "this". And don't forget to read the disclaimers or you might just also miss "this", "this", "this" and "this". Oh and alas don't forget it will cost you a bucketload of "this".

“By pioneering these initiatives in the South African banking industry to ensure convenience, accessibility, safety and efficiencies for customers and consumers, Absa has positioned itself as a leader in banking and financial services,” states Rautenbach. “Our innovative and customised solutions have turned us into a bank of choice in South Africa for many.”

Who writes this marketing BS? Pioneering? Where is your Android App? Where is your Blackberry App? Where is your Windows Phone 7 App? Stop inventing news ways to bill me. We don't need MORE cards. Give me more ways to access and properly MANAGE my money via my existing "tech".

Sorry for the rant. Just had to get it out of my system.

Do they even know what pioneering means?

ABSA’s tap-and-go cards will allow be limited to R200 per day and a maximum of R1,500 on the card at any given time, the bank announced this morning (7 November 2011).

They announced it in those words? Not reading the rest of this, sounds like a fail already.

Sounds like a NFC device, wonder if I can get my 9900 to utilise it, should be able to.

Then why not just make an app for the next gen phones?

Possibly security risk as mentioned in Apr2011 and ABSA seems to be going with it or have they sorted that out ?
