What does Multifactor Authentication (MFA) look like for ABSA?

ABSA makes use of in-app notifications when asking customers for MFA, or Multifactor Authentication, for security purposes. These are notifications presented via the ABSA app installed on your device. It's important that you have an internet data connection to receive these notifications.

This form of notification is required from ABSA users when:

• Logging into your account
• Initiating payments
• Adding a beneficiary

Here is an example screenshot of what a typical ABSA MFA request may look like.
