Change SASSA Banking Details

If your SASSA Status Check shows “Pending Banking Details” it means your current payment method is either invalid (not supported) or needs to be updated. To resolve this issue, you need to change SASSA banking details online instead of visiting a SASSA office. Simply log into your account and provide your new bank account information to switch to a bank transfer method.

Change SASSA Banking Details

To change SASSA banking details for Social Relief of Distress or social grants including, Disability, Child Support, Care Dependency, or Old Age Grants, all you need is your cell phone number, personal bank account details and your government ID card.

Change SASSA Banking Details
  1. Visit the SASSA portal to change your banking details. https://srd.sassa.gov.za/said
  2. Select your ID type, South African ID Holder or Asylum Seeker and Special Permit Holder.
  3. Scroll down to “How do I change my banking details” tab and click on it.
  4. Enter your South African ID number to proceed.
  5. You will receive an OTP message on your registered cellphone number.
  6. Enter the OTP and click the Verify Pin button to get your ID processed.
  7. You will then receive a message with “Change SASSA Banking Details link.”
  8. Follow the instructions in the secure link to update your bank details securely.
  9. If you have a personal bank account, it is required to add your bank name, account number, and account type in order.
    • Choose your bank name.
    • Provide your account number.
    • Provide the branch code.
    • Select your account type.
    • Agree to the terms and conditions.
    • Submit your banking details.
  10. If you don’t have a personal bank account and want to update your banking details to other payment methods.
    • You can choose the Cash Send payment option, and receive cardless grant payments at recognized retail shops of Pick N Pay, Checkers, and Boxer, other than Post Office by default method.
    • Agree to the terms and conditions.
    • Submit your banking details.
  11. Once you have submitted, SASSA change your banking details and verify your new payment method for future payments.

After changing your SASSA banking details, check your SASSA status every month to confirm your grant approval. Once it’s confirmed as approved for the month, like ‘Approved for September,’ you can proceed to check your grant payment dates to know when you will get paid.

Checking SASSA payment dates is essential to find out your specific grant payment schedule every 30 days when SASSA starts the disbursement process. This way, you can wait for the day to receive your payment directly deposited into your bank account and contact SASSA if there are any delays.

SASSA Verification Process Time

SASSA verification process typically takes 7 to 10 business days to complete. Once verified, SASSA will notify you via SMS or email confirming the changed banking details for your preferred payment method. Subsequent grants will be disbursed in to your chosen bank account where you can anticipate for monthly payouts by referring to the scheduled SASSA payment dates.

Sassa Bank Details and Changes Verification Process Time

SASSA verification is an important step in confirming the accuracy of individual bank details, thereby establishing the eligibility of applicants for the grant. During this process, the SASSA system compares grant application information and personal identification against multiple government databases to prevent fraud and misuse.

Avoid these Mistakes

  1. Double-check that your name and personal details match exactly as they appear on your SASSA online application and bank account. SASSA will not accept bank accounts belonging to other individuals.
  2. If your bank account holds more than R1000, you will not qualify for an SASSA grant as you will fail the means test.
  3. SASSA advises against changing bank details on payment dates to avoid delays in receiving your grant.
