Have you moved banks or changed your account information?
Don’t worry, you can still receive your SASSA SRD R350 grant!
This grant is a vital safety net for many South Africans, and keeping your banking details up-to-date ensures it reaches the right place.
This guide will walk you through the process of changing your SASSA banking details step-by-step.
We’ll cover everything from what you’ll need to where to find the update section on the SASSA website.
Let’s get started and ensure your grant arrives smoothly!
Before We Begin: Prepare Yourself!
- Your South African ID Number: This is the same ID you used when you first applied for the SASSA SRD grant.
- Your Registered Mobile Phone: Make sure you have access to the phone number you used during your grant application. You’ll be receiving a verification code there.
Step-by-Step Guide to Update Your SASSA SRD Banking Details
1. Open Up Your Internet Browser
Fire up your favourite browsers, like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
2. Head to the Official SASSA SRD Website
In the address bar at the top of your browser window, type in the following web address: https://srd.sassa.gov.za/.
This will take you directly to the SASSA SRD website.
3. Find the “Change Banking Details” Section
The SASSA website can have a lot of information, so don’t get discouraged!
Look around for a section titled “Update My Details” or “Change Banking Details.
It might be under “Frequently Asked Questions” (FAQs) or towards the bottom of the webpage.
If you’re having trouble finding it, try searching the website using the keywords “change banking details” or “update details.
4. Enter Your South African ID Number
You’ll see a box asking for your ID number.
Type it in carefully, double-checking each digit to avoid any mistakes.
One typo can cause delays!
5. Wait for the SMS Verification
Once you’ve entered your ID number and clicked “Submit” or “Continue,” SASSA will send a verification code via SMS (text message) to the mobile phone number registered with your grant.
6. Open the SMS and Click the Secure Link
Your phone will receive a text message with a special link.
This link is unique to you and will take you to a secure page where you can update your banking information.
Important Note: Don’t click on links from unknown numbers. Make sure the SMS is from SASSA before clicking on the link.
7. Update Your Bank Information
The secure page will have clear instructions on how to enter your new bank details.
Here’s what you’ll typically need:
- Bank Account Number: This is the unique number assigned to your bank account where you want to receive your grant payment.
- Account Type: Specify if it’s a savings or current account.
- Bank Name: Select the bank where you hold the account.
8. Double-Check Everything
Before you hit submit, take a moment to carefully review all the information you’ve entered.
Make sure your account number, type, and bank name are all correct.
Typos here can cause delays in receiving your grant.
9. Submit and Wait for Confirmation
Once you’re confident everything is accurate, click the “Submit” or “Confirm” button.
SASSA will now process your update.
It might take a few days for them to verify your new bank details.
10. Stay Informed
You’ll receive an SMS or notification on the website once SASSA has confirmed the change.
Patience is key here! It might take a few days for the update to reflect.
Important Reminders:
- Double, Double Check Your Account Ownership: The SASSA SRD grant can only be deposited into an account registered in your name. You cannot use someone else’s account to receive the funds.
- No Set Payment Dates: The SASSA SRD grant payment dates can vary each month. There’s no set schedule, so keep an eye on your new bank account after the update is confirmed to see when the June SASSA SRD payment arrives.
- contact SASSA if Needed: If you encounter any problems while updating your banking details, or have any questions about the process, don’t hesitate to contact SASSA directly. They have various support channels available to assist you. You can find their contact information on the SASSA website.
