7 SASSA Payment Methods

1. Post Office Branches (SAPO/Post Bank)

If you don’t have a bank account or prefer collecting cash in person, SASSA grants can be collected at any South African Post Office (SAPO) branch or Post Bank outlet.

You’ll need your SASSA card and a valid ID document to collect your payment.

This method might involve waiting times, especially during peak periods.

2. Bank Mobile Money Transfer

For individuals with a registered bank account that offers mobile money transfer capabilities, this option allows receiving your SASSA grant directly on your phone.

The specific process varies depending on your bank but generally involves using a USSD code or mobile banking app to receive funds.

Ensure your phone number linked to your bank account matches the one registered with SASSA for successful transactions.

3. Boxer Stores

Similar to Pick n Pay, SASSA grants can be collected in cash at selected Boxer stores nationwide.

When choosing this option, you’ll receive a unique code via SMS. Visit your chosen Boxer store with your ID and the code to collect your grant.

This method is convenient for individuals without bank accounts who prefer in-store cash collection.

4. Pick n Pay Stores

If you don’t have a bank account, SASSA grants can be collected in cash at designated Pick n Pay stores across South Africa.

You’ll need to select this option during the application or update your details on the SASSA website.

After approval, you’ll receive an SMS with a unique code. Visit your chosen Pick n Pay store with your ID and the code to collect your grant.

5. Cash Send

Cash Send allows collecting your SASSA grant in cash at participating Pick n Pay, Boxer, or Post Office branches, even without a bank account.

Choose Cash Send as your payment method and select your preferred collection point during the application or by updating your details on the SASSA website.

You’ll receive a unique code via SMS, which you’ll need along with your ID to collect your grant at the chosen location.

6. SASSA Bank Account

For individuals with a South African bank account, receiving SASSA grants directly into their account is generally considered the most convenient and secure option.

This method avoids the need to visit collection points and ensures faster access to funds once deposited.

You can choose this option during the initial application process or update your details on the SASSA website.

Ensure your bank account information is accurate and up-to-date to avoid delays or failed payments.

I hope this guide has helped you understand the different ways you can receive your SASSA grant.
