@AbsaKenya Now kindly, you are a financial institution please. Not a healing ministry. As your customer, i cannot be doing pata potea. Liken this to being in a remote area and looking for the tallest tree to get a connection.

[Wakaba Gicho, PhD @wakfer]

@AbsaKenya tying Internet banking (via browser) to the mobile banking (app) is archaic, backward and retrogressive in the name of https://t.co/u31IoNQSmp erodes the benefit of multiple channels in your service.Its akin to strictly presenting your ATM at a tellers desk,before use

@AbsaKenya Now, the first time it happened i visited the branch and it was confirmed everything is in order. Therefore, on subsequent attempts, once the authentication error appears the user (myself) tries after a while and it works.

[Wakaba Gicho, PhD @wakfer]

@AbsaKenya It is a problem because as much as the prompt is sent to the phone and user enters login details to authenticate the browser login, 3 out of 5 times the web browser times out before login or simply returns the message asking the customer to visit the branch.

[Wakaba Gicho, PhD @wakfer]

@AbsaKenya You have a software design problem that makes usability a pain in the unmentionables. Specifically, A user cannot login on the web platform without going through a prompt on their Absa App. This ties the two distinct channels to each other.

[Wakaba Gicho, PhD @wakfer]

@AbsaKenya Am convinced that its either
1. You are not striving to understand
2. or have no intention to provide a fair banking experience
3. or you simply did not read my message
4. or you have no idea how the weblogin and app login are connected.
Let me try agin.

[Wakaba Gicho, PhD @wakfer]

@AbsaKenya What more details do you need MK?
Are you not aware how your channels operate?
Are you not aware that this is a recent deployment maybe 42 days now?
This is not a feature affecting a single account.
It is feedback on the frustration, pain and limitation of using your channels.

Better yet, give us an option to opt out.

@SidianBank Tuambiane ukweli "my frenz". Charging 10/= for an sms in the year of our lord 2026 is robbing me blind. Bulk SMS merchants are everywhere hawking SMSes at 0.5/= (Add sys admin costs + fare to singapore + platform costs + etc). Bado it should not exceed 1.5/=.

[Wakaba Gicho, PhD @wakfer]

Kindly don't DM me tickets and "sorry for inconveniences caused". You are a global bank, figure out how to secure both platforms independently. It is possible. Equity Bank, DTB, Sidian Bank, Coop Bank, Stanbic Bank have all done it. Je nyinyi?

[Wakaba Gicho, PhD @wakfer]

Your web based system faithfully sends the prompt to the app, but consistently fails. It works (i suppose) when you please. Look, spare the customers the trouble and just shut down one of the channels instead of adding pain and misery to an already in the gutter experience.

F1/F2 is the Bill you are talking about. F3/F4 is the Bill we are talking about.

@veggie_eric Rote memorization, there is no learning at all. I made little progress in mandarin despite achieving very high levels.

@Safaricom_Care It has been 1hr since i walked in this service centre, to replace a lost sim card. How is this acceptable? or dignified? or reasonable? or simple? There are only 2 /8 attendants serving a multitude. Its incorrigible tht a multi-billion company has this little care
