The Absa app shows up to 6 months of transaction history. For older proof of payments, visit an Absa branch with your ID or call Absa on 0860 008 600 to request archived statements.
When You Need a Stamped Statement Instead
Some institutions, especially government departments and universities, require a stamped bank statement rather than a proof of payment. You can get a stamped statement at any Absa branch. Bring your ID and know the date range you need.
