It is only approved SASSA R350 Grant beneficiaries that qualify to add their bank account details to their Grant for payment.

If you have applied for the SRD R350 Grant but have not been approved yet, then you will have to wait until your application is approved to receive your grant payment before you can add your banking details.

Which Bank Can You Use For SASSA R350 Grant?

You can use any bank of your choice provided the bank is in South Africa. The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), accepts all banks for R350 grant payments.

So, if you already have a bank account, just add it to your grant to receive your R350 payment.

There’s no need to be selective of the many banks in the country.

Can You Add Any Bank Account To Your SASSA SRD R350 Grant?

You’re to use your own personal bank account for R350 Grant if you’re a SASSA SRD R350 Grant beneficiary and prefer to receive your payment via bank account,

This is very important because SASSA will first verify the banking details you provide to make sure they match the details you used to register your SASSA R350 Grant.

If the bank account details do match your grant registration details, SASSA will decline the bank account and you’ll not be able to receive your R350 payment via that bank account.

This is to ensure that, the grant is paid directly to the beneficiary so that the person can get the full R350 payment.

Additionally, it is also because SASSA does not pay your grant into somebody else’s bank account.

Which Mobile Phone Number Does SASSA Send The SMS Link To Add Your Banking Details To SASSA R350 Grant?

It is therefore important to remember that when adding or updating your SASSA SRD R350 Grant banking details, you’re to use the mobile phone number with which you used to register your R350 Grant.

Again, you cannot use a different mobile phone number when adding your banking details to your R350 Grant other than the one you used to register during the application for the SRD Grant.

In case you have changed or updated your SASSA R350 Grant phone number, then you should enter the new (updated) number in the field when you’re adding your banking details to your grant.

How Often Should You Update Your SASSA R350 Grant Banking Details?

Ideally, there’s no need to often change your banking details when you’re able to receive your grant payment via your current bank account with no issues.

Once your banking details are verified and approved by SASSA, you’ll be able to receive all your R350 payments through it.

There’s no need to constantly change your SASSA R350 Grant bank account.

Moreover, SASSA will have to verify and approve your details whenever you add new banking details to your SASSA R350 Grant and this can delay your payments.

So, one bank account for your R350 grant is okay.

In conclusion, SASSA allows SRD R350 Grant beneficiaries to receive their grant payment via bank account.

With this, beneficiaries have to add their bank account details to their grants for verification and approval from SASSA.

The bank account must be opened in the name of the R350 Grant beneficiary before SASSA will pay the grant into it.
