Absa website security upgrades on the way

Absa has informed clients that it will upgrade its security in the coming weeks to make online banking “even safer.”

Would be interesting to know what bugs they are patching.

I understand the statement as more than bug fixes:

"De la Rey told MyBroadband that Absa has invested heavily in a comprehensive and robust suite of information protection measures. It is also rolling out enhanced
security to its customers using smartphones tyuto transact, he said."

Wasn't safe to begin with. Capitec did this from the beginning...

This is just a smokescreen to increase tariffs. After the "upgrade" ABSA clients will still face their initial issues with debit orders and sim swaps.

Perhaps ABSA should stop using SIM based verification (SMS/USSD/SureCheck) which are subject to SIM Swap ...

They are planning to move to App-based verification. Showing notifications every time i log into Internet banking on that matter
