What is a verification device and why do I need one?

For security, some transactions must be verified by you to make sure it’s not a fraudster performing the transaction. To do this, we send a verification request to the Absa Banking App on your verification device.

Your verification device is the smartphone or tablet that you do your banking on. If you have two or more devices, only one will be the verification device.

The verification requests sent to your Absa Banking App protect you from SIM swap fraud.
