Solid with caveats

Been with Absa for a few months. App is occasionally slow to load balances. Does the job, with caveats.

Avoid if you rely on it

My experience with Absa went downhill. They asked for the same documents three times. Disappointed overall. Friend recommended it to me.

Good but support is slow

I’ve used Absa for a while now. The free tier is fine but the premium plans feel pricey. Solid but not perfect.

Switched and never looked back

I’ve recommended Absa to people I know. Card arrived quickly and Apple Pay set up instantly. Sub-accounts make budgeting effortless. No regrets switching. Switched from a traditional provider.

Decent, a few gaps

I’ve used Absa for a while now. Cash deposits are awkward compared to a branch. Good, but room to improve. Friend recommended it to me.

Decent, a few gaps

Using Absa day to day. It does the basics well but lacks a couple of features I want. The free tier is fine but the premium plans feel pricey. Worth a look if it fits your needs.

Works, but pricey

I’ve used Absa on and off. It does the basics well but lacks a couple of features I want. Worth a look if it fits your needs.

I expected more from Absa. A payment failed and the in-app help was useless. Hope they fix this soon.

Solid with caveats

My experience with Absa is mixed. App is occasionally slow to load balances. Most features are great, a few are region-locked. I’d give it three and a half if I could. Setup took less than ten minutes.

Had high hopes for Absa. They asked for the same documents three times. My account was suddenly locked for a “review” for over a week. Disappointed overall. Used across two countries so far.
