If you are a recipient of a social grant from SASSA (South African Social Security Agency) and need to change your banking details, there are a few steps that you can follow to ensure that your new banking information is updated and your payments continue to be received.
Firstly, it is important to note that changing your banking details can only be done in person at a SASSA office. You will need to bring the following documents with you:
- Your South African ID book or smart ID card.
- Proof of your new banking details, such as a bank statement or cancelled cheque.
- Your current SASSA card or proof of the bank account into which your grant is paid.
Once you have gathered these documents, you can visit your nearest SASSA office to make the change. Here are the steps to follow:
- Take a queue ticket and wait for your number to be called.
- Inform the SASSA official that you want to change your banking details.
- Provide your ID book or smart ID card to confirm your identity.
- Present proof of your new banking details, such as a bank statement or cancelled cheque.
- If you have a SASSA card, provide it to the official. If not, provide proof of the bank account into which your grant is paid.
- The SASSA official will update your details on the system and provide you with a reference number for your records.
- Your grant payments will now be paid into your new bank account.
It is important to note that it can take a few days for the new banking details to be processed and for your payments to be redirected to your new account. During this time, it is advisable to keep your old bank account open to ensure that you receive any outstanding payments.
In conclusion, changing your SASSA banking details can only be done in person at a SASSA office. You will need to provide your ID book or smart ID card, proof of your new banking details, and your current SASSA card or proof of the bank account into which your grant is paid. Once the change has been processed, you will receive a reference number and your payments will be redirected to your new bank account.
