How Absa FlexiReserve works

FlexiReserve lets you access a portion of the money you have paid into your Absa home loan over and above your required repayments. Absa states that new home loan customers get the facility automatically when the mortgage bond is registered. You transfer available funds to a linked Absa transactional account through the Banking App or Absa Online. If your transactional account is at another bank you cannot do it yourself: visit an Absa branch or call 0860 111 007.

It is borrowed money, not savings: the money you access is drawn back against the bond. Absa itself suggests a savings account if saving is your actual goal.

FlexiReserve balance and the minimum transfer

The available balance is the portion of your extra payments you can still draw, and it reduces over the term of the home loan so that your repayments stay affordable if you draw the full amount. The minimum transfer is R1 000 per transaction.

To pay a third party you must move the funds to your transactional account first, since you cannot pay someone directly from the facility. The funds also cannot be used to cover your monthly home loan repayments, which Absa answers with a flat no.

When FlexiReserve is suspended

If you miss any monthly repayment the facility is suspended until every home loan account is up to date, after which Absa reinstates it two months later, so it is not available in exactly the month you are most likely to want it.

For access problems or a dispute about the available amount, call 0860 111 007 and get a reference. Joint home loan accounts have their own conditions published on the same product page, so both parties should read them before either draws funds.
