Customer information refers to personal and private information submitted to Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management via the website that identifies or relates to a customer, whether the customer is an individual or a business.

Sharing customer information - responsibly
The only instances in which Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management is permitted to disclose customer information is when it is:
Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management will not collect or use customer information without obtaining the customer's consent.
In respect of marketing of services or products, consent to collect or use information can be expressed (for example signing an agreement) or implied (e.g. if the customer is given an opportunity to opt out of a specific form of information sharing, but chooses not to do so, it implies that the customer chooses to share this information).
Absa is made up of a number of different business units, such as Merchant Bank, Vehicle and Asset Finance and Card division. By sharing information about a customer's accounts among different business units, Absa can serve the customer more efficiently.
Other companies routinely contact Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management for credit and financial information about customers. Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management will, however, only share customer information in the instances where disclosure is made at the customer's request or with the customer's consent.
This most often relates to government tax reporting requirements or in terms of a court order or if required in terms of legislation or in accordance with common law. Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management will, however, in all instances required by law, only disclose the information specifically requested.
Necessary to protect Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management' interest
This will not be used as a reason for disclosing information about a customer or a customer's accounts (including name and address) to any one else, including other companies in the Absa Group for marketing purposes. However, basic procedures that protect Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management' interests sometimes lead to the disclosure of specific customer information to third parties, for example, returning a cheque due to insufficient funds in an account.
Sometimes Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management is asked to disclose customer information for matters of public interest, e.g. to assist in the prevention of crimes. Before complying with these requests, Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management takes every precaution to ensure the authorities involved have legitimate grounds to make such a request.
Information about a customer's personal debt owed to Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management may be disclosed to credit reference agencies. Where the customer has fallen behind with payments and has not made proposals satisfactory to Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management for repayment of debt following formal demand / or where the customer has given Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management written consent or where the customer has a cheque referred to drawer, the information is placed on a cheque verification service.
Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management reserves the right to amend this policy at any time. All amendments to this policy will be posted on the website. Unless otherwise stated, the current version shall supersede and replace all previous versions of this policy.

Select the respective terms and conditions:
These terms and conditions are exclusively governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of South Africa and are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Republic of South Africa.
Commencement, duration, termination and suspension
These terms and conditions shall commence and be effective from the date of acceptance thereof by the client and shall continue indefinitely, provided that the client may terminate the agreement with immediate effect by selecting the "Cancel Registration" option located under the Account Maintenance section on the website, whereafter the services provided to the client by Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management will immediately be terminated.
Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management shall be entitled to terminate this agreement on 30 (thirty) days' written notice to the client. Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management may give the termination notice to the client by publication on the website, or by email or any other communication tool.

Conversion of accounts and splitting of portfolios
Existing clients of Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management who have portfolio or normal telephonic trading accounts may want to convert their accounts to online accounts. The online registration process must be followed and all relevant documentation, including a letter instructing us to transfer all the shares and cash balances from the existing account. Please state the account number. The new online account will be activated within 48 hours (during a business week) of the original instruction letter being received.
Clients who want to split their existing portfolio should complete the registration process; including signing the mandate and enclosing all the relevant documentation, including a letter to Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management instructing us as to which shares should be transferred.
It is important that non-resident accountholders declare this fact when they complete the mandate. Failure to do so could be deemed to be a contravention of foreign exchange regulations.
South African non-residents will need to contact us for our non-resident trust account details when transferring funds.
This service is only available to accounts registered to trade shares online.
Orders placed in the Online Trading System will only be entered into the JSE™ Trading System once the market opens. The JSE™ is open for trading from 09:00 to 17:00 (GMT+2), Monday to Friday, excluding Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve where, if applicable, the market closes at 12:00. The JSE™ is closed on South African public holidays.
For any order to be executed, there needs to be a corresponding counterparty, thus for "buy" orders, a corresponding offer is required and for "sell" orders, a corresponding bid needs to be available. All orders are matched on price only, therefore if insufficient shares are available to match an order completely, then the order may be only partially executed.
Orders placed "At Market" will be executed immediately, in part or in full, at the best price, assuming there is a counterparty available. If there is no bid or offer available, orders will be placed at the ruling price. It is therefore strongly recommended that for illiquid stocks and in particular warrants, orders are placed "At Limit".
An "At Limit" order determines the maximum price (buy) or minimum price (sell) at which the share is to be traded. If, however, the order can be executed at a better price at that point in time, the client will benefit. An "At Limit" order will be queued in time and price priority and will only be executed once all orders ahead of it in the queue have been executed.
Once an order has been submitted, the order will appear under the "Today's Order Book" schedule until such time as the order is executed, cancelled or it expires. Email confirmation will be sent to the client when:
an order is placed on the Online Trading System
an order is entered into the JSE™ Trading System
an order is executed or partially executed
an order is cancelled or it expires
An email message will be deemed to be sent by:
The client, at the time at which Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management is capable of accessing such message;
Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management, at the time shown on the message as having been sent, or if not so shown, at the time shown on Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management' computer system as having been sent.
An email message is deemed to be received by:
The client, once it becomes capable of being retrieved by the client;
Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management, once we have confirmed receipt thereof to the client or responded thereto, whichever is the earlier.
An email message shall be attributed to:
The client, if it purports to have originated from the client, irrespective of the fact that someone else may have impersonated the client or whether the message sent to Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management resulted from an error or malfunction in the communication system;
Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management, if it has been sent by a duly authorised representative and such representative acted within the scope of such authority or by an automated system programmed by Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management and such system operated without error or malfunction.
Unauthorised use of access codes
The client must keep his/her password secret. The client must not disclose this password, thereby giving access to any unauthorised person. The client must take all reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorised use of the services provided via the website including unauthorised access to the Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management Online Share Trading service. If the client suspects that any person has obtained unauthorised access to their account, the client must immediately notify Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management on 011 647 0888 during office hours and immediately change the password. If a client elects to ordinarily change their password, this may be done via the website.
If any unauthorised person obtains the password in any manner whatsoever, such a person will be regarded as the client's duly authorised agent with full authority to access the website and use the services provided on the client's behalf, unless the client is able to prove that the person has obtained the password due to Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management' negligence or due to internal fraud in Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management. Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management shall not be liable for any and all claims, losses and / or damages whether direct, indirect, special or consequential and / or any expense of any nature whatsoever which may be incurred by the client in the event of any unauthorised person using the Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management website as the client except where any unauthorised person obtained the clients password due to Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management' negligence, or due to internal fraud in Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management.
