What is Phone-ABS?

Phone-ABS is a computerised telephone system which enables you to call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year and access your ABS Building Society Accounts.

Phone-ABS will allow you to obtain balances, transfer funds, request statements and obtain details of transactions as well as many other useful functions.

There are no application forms - ABS Building Society members can access Phone-ABS by simply using their account number and Access Code. If you experience any difficulty then please call (02) 67 72 5522 during normal opening hours.

What You Will Need
You will need a touch-tone telephone or a tone sender adapter available from electronic stores.

Most telephones including mobile phones issued within the last few years have been tone senders. If yours is not a tone phone, contact your telephone provider for an upgrade handset.

You may have a pulse/tone switch on your phone. If so, switch over to "tone" to connect to Phone-ABS.

In addition to a tone sending device, you will also need your ABS Building Society account number and your date of birth.

How Do I Start?
If you have the right telephone or adapter, your account number and the date of birth, you can dial up and connect to Phone-ABS immediately by phoning (02) 67 71 4588

You will be asked to enter your account number followed by a # (hash) which is located on the right of the zero "0" digit on the telephone keypad. Enter the number part of your account, do not enter the S4, S15, L1, I13, etc.

You will then be asked to enter your Access code followed by a # (hash). The Access code has been preset to your date of birth for your initial call.

You will need to enter your date of birth as a six digit number. For example if your date of birth is 7th of September 1964 you would enter 070964 (07 for the day, 09 for the month and 64 for the year).

Please note: In the case of joint accounts, the computer will recognize the date of birth of the first named on the account.

For security purposes, during your initial call, you will be asked to change your Access Code to a new number with 4 to 6 numbers. We suggest that you avoid simple sequences and repeated digits and strongly recommend that you do not use your Cashcard password or your birthdate.

If at any stage you forget your access code, call the Building Society on (02) 67 72 5522 in normal business hours for help.

Once you have successfully entered your membership number and Access code, Phone-ABS will automatically give you a balance on all your "S" accounts. After this you can choose from a range of options available in the menu.

If at any stage during your call you wish to disconnect from Phone-ABS, simply hangup.
