If you get the SASSA SRD R370 grant (used to be R350) and need to change your bank information, the process might seem hard. On the other hand, it can be easy if you get some help. Here is a full description that will help you get through the process easily.
First, it is important to make sure that your South African ID number and cell phone number are listed on your grant application. These are very important because they let people know who you are and let you communicate during the process.
Make sure you can get to the cell phone number you used to apply for the grant. It is important to do this because SASSA will text you to approve your changes.
Step-by-Step Guide to Change Your SASSA SRD R370 Banking Details
Your own name must be on the bank account you want to use. Your grant will not be sent to someone else’s account by SASSA. There is no set date every month for when the SRD grant will be given out. Because of this, you should check your new bank account often for the payment.
If you are having trouble changing your banking information or have any questions, please contact SASSA immediately. Make sure that the phone number you registered is current and can receive SMS messages, as this is how SASSA will mostly contact you.
To make sure the process goes smoothly and quickly, have your new bank account information ready before you start. To keep your personal information safe, you should only use a private and secure internet connection when you go to the SASSA website.
