Change SASSA Banking Details
If you want SASSA to pay your grant into a new bank account, you need to submit your banking details using the official SASSA portal. You can change your SASSA banking details for your grant type to receive your payment directly in your account without needing to visit the Post Office or retailer outlets. In this process you need to verify your registered cellphone number, submit your new bank account details, and then wait for bank verification to complete before payments switch to the new account. Before you start, make sure:
- The bank account is in your name and your ID.
- Your ID details match your bank profile (name/surname/initials).
- You still have access to the cellphone number link to your SASSA grant.
What Information You Need to Change Your Banking Details Online
To update your banking details for SASSA, have the following information ready:
- Your South African ID number, the same one used for your SASSA application
- Your registered cellphone number needed for OTP and verification
- Your Bank name, Account number, Account type, and Branch code.
Change SASSA Banking Details Step-By-Step Process
To change your SASSA banking details for the SRD grant, Old Age Grant, Disability Grant, Child Support Grant, Foster Child Grant, Care Dependency Grant, or any other social grant, all you need is your registered cellphone number and personal ID card number. The process is simple, and you can easily update your payment method to link your personal bank account or choose another available option.
Step 1: Access the official SASSA portal
Open your browser and go to the SASSA SRD portal link for Change Banking Details page: https://srd.sassa.gov.za/said
Step 2: Select your identity type
On the SASSA SRD portal, scroll down the page to the identity section and select your ID category.
- South African ID or Green ID Book holder.
- Asylum seeker or special permit holder with a valid permit.
Step 3: Proceed to change banking details option
Click the option labeled “Change my banking details” and start the process.
Step 4: Provide your ID and registered phone number
Enter your South African ID number and the cellphone number linked to your SASSA R370 application or any other social grant type like Old Age Grant, Child Support Grant, or Disability Grant.
Step 5: Verify your identity and phone number
To verify your ID number and phone number, you will receive a 6-digit OTP via SMS. Enter this code to confirm your identity.
Step 6: Open the secure banking link
After verification, SASSA will send a link via SMS. Click it to access the change banking details form online.
Step 7: For SASSA fill in your personal bank account information
Click on the link received in the official SASSA message and enter the required banking details.
- Enter your Bank name like Capitec Bank, FNB, TymeBank, Standard Bank, ABSA Bank, or Nedbank
- Account holder name (must match your ID)
- Account number
- Branch code
- Account type (Savings or Current)
Step 8: Confirm Your Banking Details with an OTP code
SASSA will send an OTP (One-Time PIN) to your registered cellphone number for verification. Enter the OTP to confirm your banking information for new payment method.
Step 9: Agree to the terms and conditions for provided information
Read and accept the declaration for your banking details and grant payments to SASSA.
Step 10: Submit your new banking details to SASSA
Click “Submit Updated Banking Details” to complete the process of changing your banking details for SASSA grant payments.
This is the complete process of changing your SASSA banking details ensures that all information provided is accurate and valid.
Banking Details Verification Process and Duration
After submitting your banking details to SASSA, the verification and update process usually takes 7 to 14 working days, depending on system checks and workload. During this time, SASSA verifies that the bank account belongs to you and matches your identity details. Once verification is successful, the new banking information is approved and future grant payments are redirected to the updated account. Until the change is fully processed, payments will continue through the previous payment method.
While most cases are resolved within this timeframe, the process can extend up to 30 days during periods of high workload or if there are verification issues with the bank or the Department of Home Affairs. The SASSA status may show “Pending Banking Details” if the submitted information is incomplete or incorrect and requires correction or resubmission.
How to Change Banking Details through the SASSA office?
You can change your banking details by visiting your nearest SASSA office. You will need to complete the “SASSA Consent Form for Bank Payment.” The form can be downloaded from the SASSA portal here. You can fill your details and submit in person at the office. This process follows the same verification steps as the online submission, and your grant payments will be processed through your new bank account once verified.
Why did my SASSA banking details verification fail?
Banking details verification failed if the bank account is not registered in your name and matches your ID, if the wrong bank was selected, or if there is a typing error in the account number or account type. Even small mismatches can cause verification to fail. To resolve this, always confirm your bank details with your bank and resubmit them carefully through the official SASSA portal.
Why am I not receiving the SASSA OTP?
OTP messages may fail due to poor network signal, blocked SMS settings, or temporary system delays. Ensure your phone can receive messages, restart it if needed, and wait a few minutes before trying again. If you no longer have access to the registered number, you can request SASSA Change Phone Number online.
Why is SASSA still paying my grant into my old account after I updated my banking details?
This happens when the banking update has not yet been fully verified or was submitted late in the month. Payments continue to the old account until the change is approved. Avoid submitting multiple requests unless there is an error, as this can slow down processing.
What is the perfect time to request SASSA change banking details?
For the SRD R370 Grant, you can change your bank account in the first 14 working days of the month, as SRD payments are typically made in the last week, between the 24th and 31st.
Permanent Social Grants, like Older Persons, Disability, and Children Grants, are paid in the first week of each month. You can change your bank account after the payment dates or well before the end of the previous month to avoid delays.
Why is the SASSA website not working when I try to update my bank details?
System errors often occur during busy periods or due to browser issues. Trying again during off-peak hours, switching browsers or devices, and using a stable internet connection usually resolves the problem.
How do I avoid scams when changing SASSA banking details?
Only use official SASSA platforms and never share your ID number, banking details, or OTP with anyone. SASSA does not charge fees for banking detail updates and does not use third parties to process changes. If you are unsure, verify information directly through SASSA’s official platforms before taking any action.
Can I use someone else’s bank account for SASSA?
SASSA does not allow payments to be made into someone else’s bank account. The bank account must be registered in the beneficiary’s own name and match the ID details used for the SASSA grant application. During verification, SASSA and the bank check account ownership and identity details, and third-party accounts usually fail this process. Verification is not always instant and may take several working days, but if the account does not belong to the applicant, it will not be accepted.
Important Reminder for SASSA Banking Details
- Always use your own bank account registered in your name.
- Do not use a friend’s, partner’s, or relative’s account.
- Avoid mistakes; even a single wrong digit can cause verification to fail or payments to go to the wrong account.
Note: Your grant is paid according to the scheduled SASSA payment dates for each approved month. You can check your bank mobile app or online internet banking during the announced SASSA dates to confirm that you have received your grant money.
