Whether you’re on the beach, at work, hiking, in the car, so long as you have access to a phone, you can do your banking there and then. With Telephone Banking you can bank instantly, day or night, 365 days a year. What’s more, banking by phone gives you a choice between personal and automated banking, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And to make your life even easier, Telephone Banking is available to you in 4 official languages: English, Afrikaans, IsiZulu and Sesotho.


Total or Basic - The choice is yours

 

Absa Telephone Banking allows you to choose between the Total or Basic Service depending on your individual requirements. The Total service gives you full access to the complete Telephone Banking offering allowing you to do transactions within and outside of your portfolio at no monthly fee*. With the Basic service you are limited to transactions on your own portfolio at no monthly fee.

You are now ready for Telephone Banking


To start banking by phone, contact us from anywhere in South Africa and follow the simple automated process. Enter your transaction account number and the two random digits of your security PIN requested by the voice prompt. Calls are charged at local rates and normal cellphone rates apply if you are phoning from a cellphone. If you are travelling abroad, you can call our international number. All conversations are recorded for your security and are used to improve our service to you.

 

The Absa e-Pin is a secure, six to twelve digit PIN number that is used as a security and authentication measure prior to performing transactions.

 

How to protect your e-Pin

  • Your e-Pin is personal to you and you should not share it with anyone
  • It’s important to keep your e-Pin secure and therefore you should never write it down
  • When choosing your e-Pin, please avoid obvious numbers, personal data such as your birth date, anniversary date, telephone number, ID or passport numbers
  • Regularly check your statements and balances to verify that all transactions have been properly documented. If there are missing or additional transactions, you should contact us immediately
