We recommend that before you make any purchase you check with the merchant if VISA Electron is an accepted card type to avoid any disappointment or embarrassment.
Keeping track of your finances with your Absa debit card

Whenever you use your Absa debit card to pay for purchases, your statement will show the name of the merchant where the transaction took place, the date and transaction amount. We also monitor transactions to protect you against your card being used fraudulently. Make sure that your contact details are up to date so that we can contact you in case we suspect fraudulent activity or notice unusual spending patterns on your card.

Card security features

Your card and money are protected by a 4-digit PIN that you enter when withdrawing cash at ATMs and when paying for purchase at some point-of-sale terminals. To protect your card against fraudulent use, we will lock your PIN after the third failed attempt to enter it.

Protect your card and PIN
Remember that your card is your cash and you need to treat your card the same way as you would cash by never leaving it unattended.

Sign your card the moment you receive it.

Destroy any old cards.

Do not keep your card and chequebook together.

Keep your card transaction receipts safe and dispose of them carefully.

Check your statements regularly and contact us immediately if you notice any transactions that you don’t recognise.

We monitor your transactions for fraudulent activity and may need to contact you if we suspect any fraud. To assist us, please ensure that we have your up-to-date contact details.

Memorise your PIN.

Never tell anyone or write down your PIN.

We will never ask you for your PIN, so never quote it to any of our staff or in any correspondence to us.

When entering your PIN on an ATM or on a PIN pad in a shop, shield your hands to that anyone nearby will not be able to see what you are typing on the keypad.

Do not allow anyone else to use your card or PIN.

If you suspect that someone knows your PIN, change it immediately at any Absa ATM in Seychelles.

On completing a cash withdrawal transaction, discreetly put your money and card away.

Be vigilant of others around you when using an ATM machine. Avoid using the ATM if you notice any suspicious looking individuals loitering around the ATM.

Do not take advice from 'helpful' strangers that happen to be standing near an ATM, especially if your card has been unexpectedly retained.

If anything looks suspicious or unusual when you are at the ATM, do not use it Instead call our Contact Centre if the ATM belongs to Absa or move a reasonable distance from the machine and call the police if it belongs to another bank.

Contact us immediately if your card is retained by an ATM for an unknown reason.
Other security precautions you can take

Carefully store and dispose of information about your accounts, such as correspondences from us to you, account statements and card transaction receipts. Fraudsters use many methods such as ‘dumpster diving’ or ‘bin raiding’ to get this type of information, which they may use to commit identity theft. Always ensure that we have your current address for sending your statements and correspondences so that they do not end up in the wrong hands.

Contact us on +248 4383973 immediately if your card is lost or stolen and we will block your card. To get a replacement card, you will need to visit any Absa branch, bringing along a valid identification document.
