Constantly receive message time out error after entering 5 digit password twice on my Samsung cell on my Samsung tablet message reads not compatible with this device! There were no problems previously, so frustrating recovering from operation and trying to do Internet banking from a bed no win situation, called help line yesterday was advised technicians attending to it this has been going on for 2 weeks! A very dissatisfied Absa client!

Does not calculate my credit rating. Get and error over and over saying techbical error try again later. Tried it on 2 different devices. Same issue.

Processes the initial information and then blocks me saying that I answered the authentication questions incorrectly when there were no questions. Needs a fix but it would be very useful if it worked.

by R####:

The App just kept processing and next thing I was told I answered questions incorrectly so my application wad blocked I should contact ABSA. If I wanted to call I wouldn't have downloaded the App.

Difficult to use. Some fields tkae long to respond to inputs. Plus home loan estimator does not estimate... i wanted to see what i would qualify for instead of inserting potential purchase price...

You have probably one of the worst UX I've ever experienced as a UX designer and customer. It's like you try to make all Absa products horrible. I honestly wish I could change it

Would be great if it works. Keep getting to the credit part and it says the server is down. And it doesn't save so each time I have to fill in all the details

If u are looking for a property u are not a homeowners yet!! What app do I download to have access to my bond, I do not have other accounts with ABSA

R70%
by R####:

I used the app to see for how much of a bond I qualify, but it asks me for a purchase price and then just gives feedback that I don't qualify. Doesn't tell how much I would qualify for.

When I search for a place, and I want to press back to go back to my search - it completely closes the app. Otherwise great concept. I look forward to using it.

The app doesn't want to work when using the home loan estimator it can't verify my details or my wifes. No help function or technical support for the app either. Thought it would save time but just wasted my time.

Tried to use the "Estimator" it was hanging and wouldn't go to the next screen. I hadn't even started answering authentication questions and it has now blocked me. I was so excited to use this feature, now it's just admin to get it unblocked.

It's sad that ABSA has to link its business operations with Google and to sync information not even needed just to provide a HomeLoan Estimation. I would advise clients that are serious about privacy to think twice to login on the Home loan Estimator because with Google's sync policy shortly your information will be all over the net. Google has no respect for how information is kept and preserved. Please be careful....if you intend to use this App because information must be preserved and protected. Why does ABSA need access with such an App to your Contacts, Photos and other information on your phone? Legally this is a violation and the reason the APP is sold to ABSA because Google gathers information with different intentions of which ABSA know the reasons. Google will never try this in the USA and Europe....they will be sued big time but South Africans are just gullible and technological ignorant to see the greater picture behind such operations. Why does ABSA not develop an independent APP on its Home loan page and rather increase the level of security with regards to possible clientele than to put its clients at risk and their information? ABSA cannot guarantee that any clie
