Absa and MTN have also tied up with Huawei to pre-load the Absa app on all Huawei Y560 smartphones, which is an entry level LTE smartphone exclusive to MTN.
Plans are on to eventually preload the app on other smartphones later on.
Absa chief executive of customer channels and distribution Marius de la Rey said: "This is a joint initiative between MTN, Huawei and Absa, which demonstrates how the bank is providing value to its customers by helping them to access affordable mobile and digital banking. Consumers will now be able to migrate to the exciting world of smartphones and, with our pre-loaded banking application, they can bank anywhere and at any time – for free."
