Step-by-Step Guide to Update Your SASSA SRD Banking Details

1. Get Your Documents and Information Ready

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

  • Your South African ID: This is the ID you used when applying for the grant.
  • Registered Mobile Number: The same phone number you used during your initial application. You’ll receive a verification code on this number.

2. Access the Official SASSA Website

Open your internet browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) and type in the official SASSA SRD grant website: https://srd.sassa.gov.za.

Make sure you are on the official site to avoid scams.

3. Go to the “Change Banking Details” Section

Once you’re on the website, look for a section called “Update My Details” or “Change Banking Details.”

This can sometimes be located in the FAQ section or at the bottom of the homepage.

If you struggle to find it, use the search function on the website by typing “change banking details.”

4. Enter Your ID Number

A field will prompt you to enter your South African ID number.

Carefully type it in, ensuring there are no errors.

This number is essential to verify your identity, so make sure it is accurate.

5. Receive SMS Verification

After entering your ID number, click the submit or continue button.

SASSA will send a one-time verification code to your registered mobile number.

This code is needed to proceed to the next step.

6. Open the SMS and Follow the Link

Once you receive the SMS, it will contain a link that directs you to a secure page where you can enter your new banking information.

Be cautious and make sure the SMS is from SASSA before clicking on the link.

7. Provide Your New Banking Details

On the secure page, you’ll be prompted to enter your new bank account details.

You will need to provide:

  • Bank Account Number: Your new account number is where you want the grant to be paid.
  • Account Type: Indicate if it’s a savings or current account.
  • Bank Name: Choose the name of your bank from the list provided.

8. Review Your Information

Before submitting, double-check that all the details you have entered are correct.

Any typos in your account number, bank name, or account type could delay the payment.

9. Submit and Wait for Confirmation

After confirming your details are correct, click the submit or confirm button.

SASSA will process your request.

This may take a few days, so monitor your phone and email for any further communication from SASSA.

10. Wait for Final Confirmation

SASSA will notify you via SMS or through the website once your new banking details have been successfully updated.

Keep an eye out for these notifications, but remember it can take a few days for the changes to reflect.
