Brand positioning PR launch
Absa has today launched its repositioned brand to the market signalling a shift to being a more deliberately customer-centric business with the new brand promise of ‘Your Story Matters’. The bank has set a clear trajectory to ensure that Absa’s entire suite of services and offerings lives up to this crucial pivot towards a more human-centred, empathetic banking service ethos across the continent. The refreshed brand strapline is part of the business’ ambitions to align their offerings and brand experience with their internal corporate purpose launched last year of ‘Empowering Africa’s tomorrow together, one story at a time’.

Womens month
From the classroom to the sports field to the boardroom and beyond, the inspirational stories of women are written daily. Join us this Women’s Month as we celebrate the stories that empower us all.
We’re inspired by your story this Women’s Month and beyond. That’s why we seek to support women and their voices across different sectors in our society. Through our various initiatives such as She’s Next, Women in Sport, Banking on Women, She Thrives and our Queen Modjadji TV series sponsorship, we work to empower women to decide how their story unfolds. Our “In my story…” campaign is dedicated to highlighting all the women who own their narratives every day.
#InMyStory
Absa is wrapping up Women’s Month in true female fashion with the Women’s Month Event. In her story, she has power. Women inspiring and empowering women is the core of that power. We believe that the Red Lip is a timeless symbol of breaking barriers and women making their mark.
Learning from legends on the panel and staying connected to each other – that is the magic of this event. This is just the beginning; our commitment won’t stop here because Her Story will always matter.
