- A 6-digit access code/PIN (from Betway – often 238929)
- You visit any ABSA ATM
- You enter both codes and collect your cash
Reality check: Based on hundreds of user reports, this process fails about 40% of the time. Let’s fix that.

Problem #2: Received PIN but NO 10-Digit Code

What users are saying:
“I received one message with only the pin. When can I expect to receive the other message with the withdrawal number?”
Your Action Plan:
- Understand the source: The 10-digit code comes from ABSA, not Betway
- Wait 60 minutes maximum – ABSA systems can delay
- After 60 minutes, contact Betway for your cashsend withdrawal inquiry to verify they sent the request to ABSA
- Ask specifically: “Has my withdrawal been sent to ABSA for processing?”
Problem #3: Waiting Too Long (3+ Days)
What users are saying:
“Since Thursday 3rd it’s been 3 days now no pin code”
“I’m still waiting for my absa cash send didn’t send the pin yet for the 3days”
The Hard Truth: If you’re waiting more than 3 hours, something is wrong.
Immediate Actions:

- Consider switching to FNB eWallet (more reliable according to users)
Problem #4: ATM Errors and Rejections
Common ATM issues:
- “Invalid PIN” message
- “Transaction declined”
- “Code not recognized”
Solutions:
- Verify code order: pin and access code. Enter 10-digit number FIRST, then access code (238929)
- Try different ABSA ATM – Some older ATMs have issues
- Ensure you’re at ABSA ATM (not Standard Bank or FNB)
- Check expiry: ABSA Cash Send expires after 30 days
Problem #5: Lost or Deleted SMS Messages
Your Options:
- Inspect your Betway app – Codes might be saved there
- Contact Betway support – They can resend codes followed by the access code.
- Request new withdrawal if support can’t retrieve original codes
Special Case: Betway Cash Collect (8-Digit Confusion)
Important: Betway Cash Collect is DIFFERENT from ABSA Cash Send
- Cash Collect = 8-digit voucher
- ABSA Cash Send = 10-digit code + 6-digit PIN
If you received an 8-digit code, you selected the wrong withdrawal method. Contact support to clarify.
