Calling the Absa home loans department

0860 111 007 is the number Absa prints on its home loan product, management and bond cancellation pages, so it handles applications, existing bonds and cancellations. Absa’s home loan page also offers a call-back: choose the option to have one of its property experts call you back. Have your home loan account number to hand when you call. You can also track an application that is already in progress from the “Track application” option on Absa’s home loan page.

Absa home loans email addresses

Absa splits its home loan email by purpose. Send general account questions to home@absa.co.za and anything about a new application to propertyhub@absa.co.za. For repayment problems, Absa’s home loan page lists bondrs@absa.co.za while its repayments page gives bondrs@absa.africa; both appear on absa.co.za, and the repayments page is the more specific of the two. Insurance questions go to the insurer rather than the home loan team: adminhoc@absa.co.za for homeowner’s comprehensive insurance and polserv@absa.co.za for life insurance.

Check your outstanding balance and statements

You do not need to call for a balance. In the Absa Banking App or on Absa Online you can:

• check your home loan balance and view your transaction history
• view your home loan account details and see how much your next repayment is
• download your statements
• manage your debit orders
• transfer money between your home loan and your Absa transactional account, and access your FlexiReserve
• view and log homeowner’s insurance claims

Absa says the Banking App and Absa Online are free to use.

Change banking details and pay your Absa home loan

To change the account your bond repayment is collected from, manage your debit orders in the Absa Banking App or on Absa Online, or call 0860 111 007. Extra payments can be made from the app at any time, and Absa’s “Save on interest” guidance explains how paying more each month shortens the loan. Absa does not publish a general bank account for home loan payments on these pages. Be wary of any email or letter that tells you Absa’s banking details have changed: confirm it by calling 0860 111 007 yourself before you pay, and report suspected fraud on 0860 557 557.

Absa home loan cancellation notice

If you are selling your home or settling the loan early, Absa gives two notice options, both submitted in the Banking App, on Absa Online, or by calling 0860 111 007:

• 90-day cancellation notice: you are charged interest on the outstanding balance only for the relevant number of days.
• Immediate cancellation notice: you are charged early termination fees plus interest on the outstanding balance for up to 90 days.

In both cases Absa calculates the outstanding balance and appoints a cancellation attorney, whose fee you pay directly. The balance is settled by guarantee, and any Absa FlexiReserve facility is suspended once the guarantees are issued. If your home loan is already paid up, cancel it at a branch or on 0860 111 007 to get your title deed; Absa charges no bank fees for this, but the attorney’s fees still apply. Keep your homeowner’s and life cover in place until the cancellation is complete. If those premiums are paid from your home loan account, call Absa Life on 0860 227 253 and Absa Insurance Company on 0860 100 876 to arrange new payments.

Is there credit insurance on Absa home loans?

Absa’s home loan pages refer to two kinds of cover linked to a bond: homeowner’s comprehensive insurance on the building, and life insurance through Absa Life. Whether your own loan carries either depends on your agreement, so check your home loan documents or ask on 0860 111 007. For the policies themselves, contact Absa Life on 0860 227 253 or polserv@absa.co.za, and homeowner’s insurance on 0860 100 876 or adminhoc@absa.co.za.

Struggling with repayments

Absa asks customers to contact it as soon as possible on 0861 222 272. The options on its repayments page include:

• a plan to settle arrears in one month or over six months
• a reduced repayment for up to six months while a long-term solution is found, for home loans older than nine months
• extending the loan term, up to 360 months, with any arrears added to the outstanding balance
• HelpUSell, where Absa’s agents sell the property if you can no longer afford it, with a discount of up to 50% on any shortfall (terms apply); offers and proof of the buyer’s finance go to privatesales@absa.co.za

Absa home loan complaints

If the home loans team does not resolve your problem, log a complaint with Absa’s Complaint Resolution Suite on 0800 41 41 41, weekdays 08:00 to 16:30, or at actionline@absa.co.za, quoting your home loan account number. If Absa cannot resolve it, the independent National Financial Ombud Scheme handles banking and credit disputes free of charge on 0860 800 900.
