Some Absa subscribers complained they have been\u00a0unable to make payments through\u00a0online banking since 4 March 2014.<\/p>\n

Queried about the complaints, Absa confirmed there is a general issue affecting clients who use a Vodacom cellphone number for their random verification number (RVN), and transaction verification number (TVN) messages.<\/p>\n

This is due to an issue with the security checks performed between Absa and Vodacom.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe impacted customers are still able to view their accounts and make payments to existing beneficiaries,\u201d Absa said.<\/p>\n

Tests conducted by MyBroadband confirmed this, as an account that uses a Vodacom number for RVN and TVN messages was able to log in, transfer money between accounts, and pay existing beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsa apologises for the inconvenience caused and our teams are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.”<\/p>\n
