Connect Absa to stub

Link your Absa account so transactions arrive in stub automatically every day — access number, PIN and password, then an approval step.

Pro
This is available on the Growing Business or Established Entrepreneur plans

Connect your Absa account and your transactions arrive in stub automatically every day — no downloading statements, no retyping.

Only an owner can add a bank account.

Connect your Absa feed

  1. Go to Settings → Bank Accounts.
  2. Click Bank account. The Add bank account window opens.
  3. Choose Connect.
  4. Select Absa from the bank list.
  5. Enter the credentials Absa asks for.
  6. Open the Absa app on your phone and approve the request.
  7. Choose the accounts you want to sync.

Absa also appears as a card under Settings → Apps, in the Bank section. Clicking it opens the same flow.

What Absa asks for

  1. Credentials: your Absa access number (or card or account number), PIN and password.
  2. Approval: an Absa SureCheck prompt on your registered phone, or an SMS one-time PIN.
  3. Business profiles: if you are connecting a commercial profile, your Absa Online profile needs third-party data permissions enabled first — that happens on the bank's side, so retrying in stub won't fix it.

Once you're connected

  1. Click Sync to pull your transactions in.
  2. Categorise what arrives — see Categorise bank transactions.
  3. Turn on background sync — see App settings & background sync.

No feed, or it won't connect?

Drop a PDF statement into Files and stub reads the transactions off it. See Upload files to stub.
