Available options:

Methods to change your payment method:

1. Online:

• Visit the SASSA SRD website: https://srd.sassa.gov.za/ (Note: This website handles the Social Relief of Distress grant, not specifically the Child Grant. However, the process for changing payment methods should be similar)
• Select your ID type (South African Citizen, Refugee, Permit Holder)
• Scroll down to the “Banking Details Update” section and click on “Apply for change or change method for SASSA R350 grant payment.” (Replace “R350 grant” with “Child Grant” when updating your details)
• Verify your identity using your ID number and phone number (an SMS with a verification code will be sent to you).
• On the secure link, select your preferred payment method and follow the instructions to complete the change.

2. At a SASSA Local Office:

• Visit your nearest SASSA local office with the following documents:
  • Original and certified copy of your South African ID document.
  • Child’s birth certificate.
  • Proof of bank account ownership (if choosing direct bank deposit).
  • Completed SASSA Child Grant payment method change form (download it from the SASSA website or get it at the office).

Important Notes:

• Changing your payment method might take some time to process. Make sure you update your information well before your next payment is due to avoid delays.
• Double-check all your information before submitting it. This includes your bank account details, phone number, and address.
• Never share your personal information with anyone unauthorized. Only use official SASSA channels to communicate and update your details.
