Get more value out of your credit card and use it to make purchases. Top tip – avoid making cash withdrawals or electronic funds transfers.
What you get from making credit card purchases
What you can also get from your credit card
Our card statements provide a clear breakdown of your expenses. It’s easier to manage your budget when you can see where your money is going. Make sure you register for eStatements!
You can also view your statements on the Bank App or Absa online banking.
Use your card details to pay your bills like DStv with Walletdoc.com and get rewarded as you’re making a card purchase (which qualifies you for Absa Rewards) rather than making an account payment.
Because you pay no fees when you make card purchases, pay directly with your card number when you shop online.
Note: Only use reputable sites when shopping online and make sure the URL address starts with https. Do not respond to unknown payment links sent on SMS asking you to pay additional fees/postage for delivery - always check the original purchase site first for tracking details and updates of your order.
