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 great. I love it, it's everything you need BUT you need to be consistent with "No data log in". Sometimes this feature works and sometimes it doesn't. For whatever reason a person might find themselves without either airtime or data and in an emergency situation, needing to upload via app quickly. This feature of logging in and performing transactions without data needs to work consistently. At the moment it's stating that there's a technical error of some kind if you don't have data.
