Frequently asked questions

If I make a contactless payment, which account will the money be taken from?

If you ‘tap-and-go’ with your Premium Banking Credit Card, the payment will always be linked to your Credit Card facility.
Will all the cards linked to my credit facility be linked to all my accounts?

This functionality will only be applicable to the primary cardholder. Someone with a secondary card will not be able to access the one card functionality.
What are the payment limits for my various accounts?

As a security mechanism, this card has been set with predetermined daily limits for your transactional/savings account of R5 000 for Point Of Sale transactions and R1 000 for ATM transactions.
How can I change these limits?

Should you wish to increase/decrease these limits you are welcome to do so at any Absa branch. Your credit card limits can also be altered using our IVR functionality.
Does this also work abroad?

When traveling abroad you will not be able to access the one card solution at point of sale machines but the function will be available at ATMs.
