In short: Absa’s CashSend page says you collect at an Absa ATM, Pick n Pay or Boxer — not Shoprite. You need the 10-digit reference / withdrawal number (SMS) and the 6-digit PIN from the sender. The send is available for 30 days; unredeemed CashSends can be managed in Absa Online Banking. Confirm on Absa before you travel. Not financial advice.
