How transaction fees work
In short, you pay either a fixed fee or a sliding scale fee, sometimes called ‘ad valorem’.
An example of how a fixed fee works is that when you perform account payments at an Absa ATM, you’ll pay a fixed fee per transaction, whether you pay R100,00 or R1 000,00.
With a sliding scale fee, you pay a base fee for the transaction itself plus a fee based on the value of the transaction.
An example is the Absa ATM cash withdrawal on a current account. There is a R3,95 base fee for the transaction plus a R1,30 fee per R100,00 withdrawn, which means a R500,00 cash withdrawal will cost you R10,45 (R3,95 + 5 x R1,30).
Pricing options – at a glance
To get the most out of your banking, choose the product and pricing option that best suits your needs and your pocket. As your needs change, relook your options. When choosing a transactional account, you can choose between various pricing options.
1. Pay-as-you-transact
This is the standard fee pricing option, where you are charged a standard fee for every transaction you make. 2. Value Bundle
You pay an affordable, fixed monthly fee from as little as R55,00 a month for a set number of transactions as part of your Value Bundle. On the Gold and Platinum Value Bundle, unused transactions roll over to the next month. Various value-added services are included. 3. Prepaid
With this pricing option, an upfront fee is charged for all credits to the account. No fees are charged for transactions performed on Absa’s infrastructure.
Disclaimer:
Fees quoted in this brochure are valid from 1 June 2016. Unless otherwise stated, fees include 14% VAT and are subject to change.
Absa Bank is entitled, immediately and without notice, for each product or service offered to individual customers, to change the pricing option that apply
4. Rebate Banking
You will not pay banking fees on certain transactions if you keep a set minimum balance in your account throughout the month.
5. EasyFee
EasyFee is a Management Fee option where you pay a monthly fee based on the number of selected transactions you do each month. It offers you different pricing options to choose from, each with a set number of selected transactions. Once you have used all your set transactions you are charged a single fee per selected transaction and no out-of-bundle penalty fees.

It’s smarter to use your credit card for purchases instead of using cash, and here’s why:
• You get up to 57 interest-free days on purchases, excluding cash withdrawals, casino transactions, Internet Banking transfers, fuel purchases and budget plan purchases. This applies if all outstanding balances on the credit card account were fully paid by the due dates. Cash and Garage card transactions are not included in the interest-free period, as interest is charged from the date of transaction. Terms and conditions apply.
• Avoid paying cash deposit fees when you transfer payments to your credit card using electronic channels (Internet, Cellphone or ATM).
Tip: Use your credit card for fuel purchases, as no transaction fees are charged.
