Absa API payments FAQs
Absa API is a secure and innovative solution that streamlines online payments. It leverages a direct connection between Absa and Ozow, eliminating the need to share your sensitive account details with third-party websites.
In line with the South African Reserve Bank's (SARB) Vision 2025, Absa has initiated its Open Banking venture – Absa API. Absa API is a fresh payment approach introduced by Absa for Ozow customers. This solution eliminates the requirement for clients to utilise remote banking credentials for payment purposes. Instead, they can employ their account number as their bank identifier and their banking app for authorisation.
Once you have chosen to pay with Ozow at the merchant checkout, simply opt for the Absa API and proceed by inputting your account number. You will then get a notification from Absa through your Absa Banking App to authorise the payment.
If you did not receive the notification:
1. Sign into your Absa App
2. Open the menu options
3. Select Authorisations and Approve the transaction
No additional integration will be required.
Certainly, merchants have the option to not use the Absa API. However, by opting out, your consumers will be using bank automation instead of the more secure and efficient Absa API.
If you wish to opt out of using Absa API, kindly send an email to support@ozow.com notifying us of your decision.
