Our key priority remains to become a truly customer-obsessed financial institution that places the customer at the centre of every decision, giving them a voice and a platform to shape Absa’s products and services with their evolving needs in mind,” Omamo said.

Under its new horizon business strategy, the bank’s priority is to become a consumer financial services business that is fit for the modern-day by benchmarking its consumer business to what the market offers and what consumers need, thereby ensuring that the business is connected to present and evolving consumer needs.
A critical strategic agenda under this new strategy is establishing best in class customer experience and digital propositions while modernising Absa’s systems towards cutting edge, cloud-based technologies.
The announcement comes months after Absa Bank unveiled an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) withdrawal option on Timiza to allow subscribers to withdraw funds from any Absa Bank ATM across the country.
