The ABSA banking app is excellent. It makes it very easy to do payments to various vendors, buy airtime, etc from the comfort of your home. It is user friendly and a must have for every ABSA customer. If you don't have it on your smartphone, go to your nearest ABSA bank and have them set it up for you. It's guaranteed to make your life a lot more easier.

The app has really great features. You can do cash send, play lotto, buy vouchers and many other things. My favourite thing is the rewards. You can get a voucher after completing simple challenges, as simple as exploring the app. You even get cash back when you buy at their partnering stores. The app is really easy to use, and it's just like your best friend.

The app is behind the other banks apps ...where are the virtual cards? Also its confusing in places. Hard to tell if a card transaction type is enabled or disabled. Another frustration is that ABSA can't change my email address. I've tried over theyears and given up. The help bot is useless. I forgot my password ,nd it took 1.5 hours to get it sorted in a branch. I think that s something to do with the old online banking I had before I switched to the app. That said, security is great.
