Absa, like many other financial institutions, sets limits on how much clients can transact per day and per month, including limits on ATM withdrawals and Point of Sale (POS) transactions. If you’re looking to raise these limits, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s a straightforward process through the Absa app. Here’s how to do it:



  1. Log In to the Absa App: Begin by opening the Absa mobile banking app on your smartphone or mobile device. Log in using your Absa ID or the appropriate authentication method.
  2. Access the Menu: At the bottom of the app screen, you’ll see the “Menu” icon, typically represented by three horizontal lines. Tap on this icon to open the menu.
  3. Navigate to the Cards Section: Within the menu, select the “Cards” option. This section will contain information related to your credit and debit cards.
  4. Choose the Card: Next, choose the specific card for which you wish to adjust the transaction limits. This card could be either a credit card or a debit card.
  5. Adjust Transaction Limits: Once you’ve selected the card, locate the “Card Transaction Limits” option and select it. Here, you’ll be able to modify the limits for various transactions.
  6. Modify Limits: You will see options to change the ATM withdrawal limit and the POS daily limit. Adjust these limits according to your needs. Ensure that the new limits align with your financial requirements and capacity.
  7. Save Your Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, click on the “Save” button to confirm the new limits.
  8. Verify Your Changes: Absa may require additional verification for security purposes. Accept and complete any verification requests that the app presents.

By following these steps, you’ll successfully raise the transaction limits on your Absa credit and debit cards to meet your specific financial needs. It’s essential to ensure that you are comfortable with the adjusted limits and can manage your transactions responsibly.

Please keep in mind that the app’s interface and procedures may evolve over time, so it’s advisable to refer to the Absa app or contact Absa’s customer support for the most up-to-date guidance.
