How to submit banking details to SASSA. This is one of the frequently asked questions about Sassa. Are you approved to receive the Sassa SRD R350 grant and do you want to submit your bank details to Sassa?

Do you want to change your Sassa r350 grant banking details? Well then, you’re on the right page for the guide.

In this article, we’re walking you through the step-by-step process to learn how you can send your banking details to Sassa.

We’ll also look at some frequently asked questions about changing your banking details to Sassa.

So, let’s get started.

How To Submit Banking Details To Sassa

Follow the below step-by-step process to submit your bank account details to Sassa.

  1. Go to www.rsd.sassa.gov.za
  2. Scroll down the page and click “How do I change my banking details”
  3. Enter your ID Number and click “Submit”
  4. You’ll receive an SMS on the cell phone number you used to register Sassa r350 grant containing a secure link
  5. Click on the link in the SMS and follow the instructions carefully

More importantly, in order for this to be successful, you’ll need the phone number you used to apply for the SRD Grant.

You should be able to submit your bank account details to the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) for the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) R350 grant if you diligently follow the above 5 simple steps.

All sassa beneficiaries who use the “Cash Send” option as their Sassa r350 grant payment method are to change to using a personal bank account.

Now that can send your banking details to Sassa successfully to receive your R350 payment, let’s look at some of the frequently asked questions about it.

Who Can Submit Banking Details To SASSA?

Only approved beneficiaries of the SASSA SRD R350 Grant are those who can submit or change their bank account details to SASSA.

Can I Submit Any Bank Account To SASSA For R350 Payment?

SASSA cautions beneficiaries to use their own bank account. This is because SASSA cannot pay your R350 grant into another person’s account.

Again, this is for beneficiaries who select payment into bank account and want to receive their grant through bank payment.

How Long Does SASSA Take To Verify Banking Details?

Sassa takes at least 7 business working days to 10 business working days to verify your banking details.

The period that Sassa takes to verify your banking details excludes holidays.

For example, if you submit your banking details to Sassa on Friday, they will not start the verification process on Saturday and Sunday but on Monday.

Again, the maximum period that will take Sassa to complete the verification of your banking details is 10 business working days.

This is because of the high volume of beneficiaries who are submitting their bank account details to SASSA for verification.

Nonetheless, SASSA will verify our bank account details and send your grant payment to it once they confirm your banking details.

This also means you will have to make inquiries if your banking details are not verified after 10 working days.

How Will I Know Sassa Has Verified My Banking Details?

When Sassa finishes verifying your banking details, your bank account details will reflect on your Sassa dashboard and you’ll be able to see the payment details.

Can I Submit My Banking Details To Sassa Online?

Absolutely yes, you can submit your banking details to the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) online.

However, to do that, you’ll need to go to the Sassa website, log into your account, and submit your banking details to Sassa from the “payment into your bank account” option.

After completing submitting your banking details to Sassa online, they will deposit all your Sassa payments into the bank account you have provided.

Can I Update My Banking Details After Submitting It To Sassa?

Yes, you can update your banking details to Sassa after submitting them to Sassa. You can change your banking details by following the same process as you added the banking details to your Sassa account.

However, Sassa will also have to go through the banking details verification process again, to verify your new banking details before they can pay your Sassa grant through it.

We, therefore, advise you to change your banking details for at least 15 days before the SASSA grant payment.

This is because it will take at most 10 business working days for Sassa to verify your banking details.

Sassa Payment Dates

Knowing the payment dates for Sassa is part of how to add my banking details to Sassa.

We do recommend that you see SASSA Grant Payment Dates for all the dates of each month that you’ll be receiving your Sassa grant payments.

This way, you’ll know how do I give my bank details to Sassa.

We do hope this article on how to submit banking details to Sassa was helpful.

Once your banking details are verified and approved by SASSA, they will pay all the months of which you’re approved for the R350. However, the money may or may not be paid in bulk

This is usually caused by a glitch in the website. You should keep trying and you should be able to complete the application once SASSA fixes the issue.

I want to know why my status says field when I check also i don’t working so seen March I don’t get r350 cause is declined and the reasons says Uif register so I want to know how can I do to fix this mess

Reply
Universityonlineapplication September 12, 2022 - 9:21 pm

There are two things you can do to fix SASSA SRD R350 UIF Registered Status.

Firstly, you should cancel your UIF. See How To Cancel UIF For SASSA R350 Grant for the guide.

Secondly, you must apeal to your declined R350 applications for reconsideration.

However, if you have no UIF records, then canceling will be impossible. So in that case, just appeal your declined grants and when SASSA process your appeal, they will know that you’re not UIF registered.

Why May did not have a pay day and june and April declined so i applying appeal so i want to know this things And my July says pending I don’t get my money

Reply
Universityonlineapplication September 12, 2022 - 9:18 pm

Well, in that case, with the day date issue, SASSA says they’re still processing pending R350 payments.

Also, your July pending application simply means SASSA has not processed your July grant yet. However, they say they will complete the processing of all pending applications soon.

With the declined months, you can only appeal for reconsideration.

There’s nothing wrong with your application. SASSA SRD R350 grant pending status simply means SASSA has not processed your card application yet.

According to SASSA, they’re still processing lots of pending SASSA R350 grant applications, although they haven’t given a date as to when the processing will be completed.

Bank account verification and approval are done by SASSA itself. Once they are through with it, they will approve your payment details, and send you pay dates for all your approved SRD R350 grant.

First, we advise that you make sure you have submitted your bank account details for the SRD R350 payment. If you have, then there’s nothing to worry about.

According to SASSA, they’re still processing lots of pending SRD payments.

Again, it seems your payments have taken too long so try and go to a SASSA branch to make an inquiry about your grant payment.

It is not possible to get all your previous payment in bulk. However, SASSA will pay all your approved R350 gradually. We also recommend that you find a way to change your payment method to bank account payment to make payment easy.

D not registered (identity verification failed) means SASSA has found out that your personal information details do not match what the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) has in their system.

With the bank verification, what you can do on your part is to submit the accurate banking details to SASSA. They will do the verification by themselves.

Again, you can only appeal to SASSA once you’re granted is declined. So, we suggest that you appeal now if you haven’t yet.

Reply
Universityonlineapplication July 3, 2022 - 8:22 am

SASSA only pays for the months that you’re approved. So, if you’re declined for some months, you’ll have to appeal and get approved before you get your R350 for those months.

Again, SASSA does not pay for declined months but only the approved months. Appeal to all the months you’re declined.

First, we suggest that your information on your payment details is correct and accurate and that SASSA can verify them and send your payment through it.

If they are but your payment is still delayed for 3 months, we suggest you change your R350 payment method. Use bank payment if you’re not.

Lastly, you should make an inquiry from SASSA for an explanation for the delay of payments if all your information is correct.

After you update your personal information, SASSA will work to verify your new names from the Department of Home Affairs. Once they finished verifying your new names, they will approve your payment. Again, as long as SASSA approves you for payment, they will definitely pay you the grant money. 4
Also, make sure your new surname matches that of your payment information. For example if you’re using bank account to receive your grant, make sure your new surname is the same as that of your bank account.
