Check whether yours is a business or a personal facility before you dial. Absa publishes the revolving loan under its business banking short and medium-term solutions on 0860 040 302. If your borrowing is personal rather than through a business, the personal lending desk on 0860 100 372 is the right line: the two are separate books.

What a revolving loan is at Absa
A revolving loan is not a term loan, and the difference is the point. A term loan is drawn once and repaid over a fixed period. A revolving facility lets you draw, repay and redraw up to an approved limit, so it behaves more like an overdraft, which is why Absa groups all three on one line.
That flexibility has a cost. Interest runs on what is drawn, but the facility can carry charges whether or not you use it, and because the balance never has to reduce to zero it is easy to carry indefinitely. Ask for the total cost of credit, the initiation and monthly service fees, and the limit review terms in writing, not just the interest rate.
Applying for or increasing an Absa revolving facility
A revolving facility is a credit agreement under the National Credit Act, so Absa must complete an affordability assessment before granting or increasing a limit. An increase is new credit, not an administrative change, and is assessed as such.
Where the facility is in a business name, expect Absa to ask for financials and may require personal surety from the owner, which puts personal assets behind a business debt. Read what you are signing.
Problems with your Absa revolving loan account
Raise a dispute on the number for your facility, quoting the account number and dates, and keep the reference. If repayments are becoming difficult, 0861 22 22 72 is the debt management line and contacting it early is the point: arrangements are easier to make before arrears than after.
Beyond the bank, the National Credit Regulator handles the conduct of credit agreements and reckless lending complaints, and the National Financial Ombud Scheme resolves banking and credit disputes free of charge. A registered debt counsellor can apply for debt review before judgment. Note that debt review covers personal credit: a business facility is treated differently, and business rescue is the separate mechanism there. Conduct by the bank goes to the Financial Sector Conduct Authority.
