Absa vehicle finance login: how to register
There is no separate vehicle finance login. Your car loan is managed through the same Absa Online and Absa Banking App profile as other Absa accounts. Absa’s registration steps are:
- Go to absa.co.za and tap Login in the top right of the screen.
- Tap Register, follow the prompts and tap Next.
- Enter your card number and ATM PIN, add a title and tap Next.
- Choose a five-digit PIN and tap Register.
- You will get a verification SMS on the cellphone number you entered, and registration is complete.
How to check your Absa vehicle finance balance and manage the account
Once you are logged in to the Absa Banking App or Absa Online, Absa says you can manage your car loan 24/7 and:
- make payments into your vehicle finance account
- request a copy of your eNaTIS document
- view your paid-up letter once the car is paid off
- request your settlement letter and a copy of your contract
- download a cross-border letter for travel
- adjust your loan, using an advance to reduce your instalments and balloon payment
Absa vehicle finance settlement
To pay off your car loan early, Absa says to get your settlement quote in the app or online, where you can request the settlement letter yourself at any time. Check the date on the settlement letter before you pay, and request a fresh one if it is out of date. Pay only into Absa’s own account using your vehicle finance account number as the reference, and never into an account given in an unexpected SMS or email, however official it looks. If you receive a settlement SMS you did not ask for, check the figure in the app or call 0860 669 669 before acting on it, and report anything suspicious on 0860 557 557. After the final payment, your paid-up letter is available in the app or on Absa Online.
Absa vehicle finance relief and payment help
Absa’s debt assistance page for vehicle finance says that if your debt is overwhelming, speak to Absa first, and gives 0861 222 272 for help. It also has a “Call me back” button on that page if you would rather Absa phoned you. The options Absa lists for customers who cannot keep up with repayments are:
- a short-term arrangement
- a loan restructure
- letting Absa “HelpUSell” your vehicle
- voluntary surrender of the vehicle, where you sign consent for Absa to sell it on your behalf; Absa warns that you remain liable for any shortfall after the sale
If Absa cannot agree lower instalments, it recommends contacting a registered debt counsellor before legal action starts, and suggests the National Credit Regulator on 0860 627 627 to find one.
Sell a car financed by Absa
If you cannot continue with repayments and want to avoid repossession, Absa’s FASTBuy HelpUSell process markets and sells your car to one of its approved dealers, provided you meet the qualifying criteria. Email FASTBuyHUS@absa.africa or call FASTBuy HelpUSell Support on 0860 789 555. Absa’s vehicle finance pages also link to Absa FASTBuy for selling a car more generally. Because the vehicle is security for the loan, get a settlement letter first so you know what must be paid before ownership can pass to the buyer.
Absa vehicle finance protection plan
Absa sells credit protection with its vehicle finance, described as cover in the event of death, illness or loss of income, and value-added insurance such as extended cover. Queries about vehicle credit protection go to 0860 669 669 or Vehicle.creditprotect@absa.co.za. The terms and conditions of your cover and of your instalment sale agreement are in your contract, which you can download in the Absa Banking App or on Absa Online.
Complaints
If customer care does not resolve a 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 vehicle finance account number. Absa Bank Limited is a registered credit provider (NCRCP7). If the complaint is still unresolved, the independent National Financial Ombud Scheme handles banking and credit disputes free of charge on 0860 800 900.
