The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) continues to provide crucial financial support through the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) R350 Grant, helping many South Africans meet their basic needs.
However, one major issue causing delays in grant payments is incorrect banking details provided by applicants. To avoid these delays, SASSA urges all new and existing beneficiaries to ensure their bank account information is accurate and up to date.
If you’re an existing recipient, you can also update your banking details online via srd.sassa.gov.za. Here’s how to do it.
How to Update Your R350 Grant Bank Account Information
Updating your banking details is quick and easy. Just follow these steps:
1️⃣ Visit the SRD website at srd.sassa.gov.za.
2️⃣ Scroll down to the section titled “How to change my banking details”.
3️⃣ Enter your ID number and click Submit.
4️⃣ You’ll receive an SMS with a secure link on the mobile number registered during your application. (The link is valid for only 30 minutes, so act fast!)
5️⃣ Click the link and follow the instructions carefully to update your banking details.
Important Things to Keep in Mind
✅ You must be the account holder – SASSA will not deposit funds into someone else’s account.
