Where a normal bank-issued Absa CashSend can be collected, based on Absa’s current product page and 2026 pricing guide.
Last checked: 25 July 2026
Quick answer: where can you withdraw ABSA CashSend?
For a normal CashSend sent from the Absa Banking App, Absa Online or another Absa banking channel, use one of these three officially listed options:
- An Absa ATM
- Pick n Pay
- Boxer
Absa’s current CashSend page and 2026 pricing guide do not list PEP, Shoprite, Checkers, Usave or Spar as standard redemption points for an ordinary six-digit CashSend. PEP has a separate Absa-underwritten transfer product that uses a four-digit PIN, which is not the same collection flow.
- Normal withdrawal details: 10-digit withdrawal or reference number and 6-digit PIN or access code
- App and Online Banking limits: R5,000 per day and R25,000 per month
- Collection period: 30 days
- Recipient fee: no separate collection fee is shown; sender charges depend on the sender’s Absa product
ABSA CashSend store and ATM list
| Place | Normal bank-issued ABSA CashSend | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Absa ATM | Yes | Use the CashSend option with the 10-digit number and 6-digit code. |
| Pick n Pay | Yes | Absa lists Pick n Pay as a selected retail partner. |
| Boxer | Yes | Absa lists Boxer as a selected retail partner. |
| PEP, PEP Home or PEP Cell | Not confirmed for the normal six-digit flow | PEP describes a separate PEP-origin transfer with a four-digit PIN. |
| Shoprite, Checkers or Usave | Not listed by Absa | Use an Absa ATM, Pick n Pay or Boxer instead. |
| Spar | Not listed by Absa | SPAR advertises Standard Bank Instant Money, which is a different service. |
How to withdraw at an Absa ATM
- Choose the CashSend option on the ATM screen.
- Enter the 10-digit reference or withdrawal number.
- Enter the 6-digit PIN or access code supplied by the sender.
- Follow the prompts and collect the cash before leaving the ATM.
Use an ATM in a well-lit location, cover the keypad and never share either code with someone offering to help.
How to withdraw at Pick n Pay or Boxer
- Ask at a till or customer-service counter for an Absa CashSend withdrawal.
- Provide the 10-digit withdrawal number when prompted.
- Enter the 6-digit access code securely.
- Collect the full amount and keep the receipt.
Absa’s public retail instructions list the two codes. They do not state one universal South African ID requirement, although an individual retailer may still apply its normal security procedures.
Limits, fees and expiry
| Item | Current Absa information |
|---|---|
| App or Online Banking daily limit | R5,000 |
| App or Online Banking monthly limit | R25,000 |
| Cellphone Banking (USSD) | Up to R500 per day and R3,000 per month on Absa’s main CashSend page |
| Collection period | 30 days; after that, the funds return to the sender |
| Sender fee | Absa’s 2026 pricing guide lists R2.70 per R100 or part thereof for relevant products; account bundles may differ |
| Amount guidance | Absa recommends increments of R50 or rounding to the nearest R100 |
Why there is no universal minimum in this table: Absa’s public help pages currently give conflicting R20 and R50 minimums for different or older cellphone-banking instructions. Check the amount displayed in the sender’s current channel instead of treating either figure as a universal CashSend minimum.
Why Shoprite, Spar and PEP cause confusion
South African retailers support several similarly named cash-transfer products. A retailer that accepts one bank’s instant-money voucher does not automatically accept an Absa CashSend.
- PEP: PEP’s own transfer page describes a four-digit-PIN CashSend created at PEP and underwritten by Absa. It does not say that every six-digit bank-issued Absa CashSend can be collected there.
- SPAR: SPAR’s national Instant Money page describes a Standard Bank service, not Absa CashSend.
- Shoprite Group: Shoprite, Checkers and Usave are not listed on Absa’s current CashSend redemption page or in its 2026 pricing guide.
For a direct answer to the retailer questions, see whether ABSA CashSend can be withdrawn at Shoprite, Checkers or Spar.
Frequently asked questions
Can I withdraw ABSA CashSend at Shoprite, Checkers or Usave?
Absa’s current CashSend page and 2026 pricing guide do not list Shoprite, Checkers or Usave as standard redemption points. Use an Absa ATM, Pick n Pay or Boxer for a normal bank-issued CashSend.
Can I withdraw ABSA CashSend at Spar?
Absa does not list Spar as a standard CashSend redemption point. SPAR’s own national Instant Money page describes a Standard Bank service, which is separate from Absa CashSend.
Can I withdraw ABSA CashSend at PEP?
Do not assume that a normal six-digit Absa CashSend can be redeemed at PEP. PEP describes a separate PEP-origin CashSend underwritten by Absa that uses a four-digit PIN. For an ordinary bank-issued CashSend, use an Absa ATM, Pick n Pay or Boxer unless Absa confirms another option for your transaction.
Can I withdraw ABSA CashSend at Pick n Pay or Boxer?
Yes. Absa lists both Pick n Pay and Boxer as selected CashSend retail partners. Use the 10-digit withdrawal number and 6-digit access code and collect the full amount.
How long do I have to withdraw ABSA CashSend?
Absa says the transaction remains available for 30 days. If it is not collected in that period, the funds return to the sender.
