The Business Banking Cheque Account is the gateway to your business’ relationship with Absa. This product allows you to do transactions through a wide range of delivery channels such as our extensive branch network, ATM infrastructure, Cellphone Banking, Telephone Banking as well as Internet Banking. An overdraft facility is available at competitive rates and for added convenience, we issue a chequebook on this account. Note that we don’t pay any interest on Cheque Account credit balances, unless explicitly stated.
All transactional charges will be billed on a pay-as-you-transact basis. Please note that the bundled pricing option is excluded.
