Change SASSA banking details only through the official SASSA process. The exact steps depend on the grant and service available, so confirm the latest instructions before entering any account information.
Information to check first
Make sure the bank account belongs to the correct beneficiary or is permitted under the current rules. Confirm the account number, branch details and account type before submitting.
Never send a PIN, password or one-time code to someone offering to update your details.
Check whether the change is still being verified. Confirm that the account is active and that the submitted information matches the bank record. Contact SASSA through a verified channel if the problem continues.
