Secondly, there is no "Discovery" option as bank because Discovery is not actually a bank. Lastly, the number on your credit card is not the same as the number displayed on your internet banking, who knew?So here is how to go about adding your Discovery Credit Card to your beneficiaries list on your Absa internet banking:To start with:Click on "beneficiary" in the main menu.Click "add new"Then Step 1:Find the button asking you to "Link Absa listed beneficiary (bill payment)" and CHECK IT.Head over to the right text box and type in "DISC".Click on the "Next" button.absa1.gifStep 1a:Find the button that says "Discovery Credit Card" and CHECK IT.Click on the "Next" button.absa1a.gifStep 2:Enter the relevant details regarding your Discovery credit card.
