Managing your Absa Gold Card on mobile
The Absa Banking App is available on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Huawei AppGallery. It is a zero-data-rated app on major South African networks (Vodacom, MTN, Telkom, Cell C), meaning you can manage your credit card even without active data.
Key app features for credit card users
- Card Management: Temporarily freeze your card if misplaced, or block it permanently if stolen. You can also manage your online purchase limits.
- Absa Rewards: Track your cash-back earnings and transfer them directly into your credit card account to reduce your balance.
- Payments: Set up automatic payments or make manual transfers from your Absa transactional account to your credit card.
- Virtual Cards: Generate virtual cards for safer online shopping.
Security
The app uses biometric authentication (fingerprint or facial recognition) and requires approval for sensitive transactions. Never share your PIN or app password with anyone.
