About Absa
Absa's sales seats on this board are in its South African retail branch network, and the FAIS tag on the titles marks roles that sell regulated financial products, so the holder works under the fit and proper rules of the country's Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act. The old branch manager title is now channel manager: sales and service, a job that runs one branch or several service points with growth, profitability and digital adoption targets, cash, audits and compliance, and in some branches the Home Affairs smart ID desk and MVNO functions as well. Below that, sales and service team leaders coach the consultants on the floor against team sales KPIs, NPS and complaint measures, and sales consultants (junior seats in the smallest towns) win new customers and cross-sell to existing ones toward the branch target. External sales consultants take the bank outside the branch to workplace banking schemes, public forums, events and festivals, working leads with the relationship, business and corporate bankers, while a Cape Town banking sales account executive builds retail acquisition pipelines and structures deals.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

Pay at Absa
Stated by the company, checked 2026-10-30From our research: stated by the company, checked 30 Oct 2026
Read from its postings on 30 Oct 2026: None of the sampled postings names a salary, a commission or an incentive scheme. What they state instead is the sales target the seat carries and the qualification it needs: a further education certificate in business for consultants, a diploma for team leaders, a banking or business degree for channel managers, and for the account executive a finance or commerce degree, a FAIS-recognised qualification and the RE5 exam, alongside the bank's employment equity preference. Ask the recruiter for the guaranteed package, whether the sales incentive pays monthly or quarterly and on what (new accounts, credit, insurance, cross-sell), whether it is capped, and whether the bank funds FAIS credits and the RE5 exam for a hire who still needs them.
