Having an issue with your myconnect card?
Balance, statements and PIN changes
When there is less than R20 on your card, a yellow light will shine around the validator screen and you will hear multiple beeps after you tap your card. This means that the transaction was successful, but that you need to top up urgently.
You can check your balance, get a statement of recent transactions or change the myconnect PIN at MyCiTi station kiosks and any Absa ATM. You need your PIN number to access these services, including the option to reset the PIN.
If you've fogotten your PIN you can reset it at any Absa branch on presentation of your myconnect card, ID and proof of address.
Steps to check balance, obtain mini-statement or reset PIN at any Absa ATM:
- Insert myconnect card
- Select language
- Enter PIN
- Select option from: Balance/ Mini Statement/ Update/ Cancel/ Change PIN
When the validator shines yellow, top up your card to keep travelling.
