Two Ways to Change your SRD payment method to ShopRite 2024

There are two ways to change your SRD payment method to ShopRite:

1. Online:

• Follow the same steps as changing your bank details online (mentioned in my previous response):
  • Visit the SASSA SRD website: https://srd.sassa.gov.za/
  • Choose your ID type and scroll down to “Banking Details Update.”
  • Instead of clicking “How do I change my banking details,” click “Apply for change or change method for SASSA R350 grant payment.”
  • Proceed with verification using your ID number and phone number received via SMS.
  • On the secure link, select “ShopRite” as your new 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 or Refugee Permit/Asylum Seeker’s permit.
  • Proof of residence (e.g., utility bill, lease agreement).
  • Proof of bank account closure (if applicable).
  • Completed SRD Payment Method Change form (which you can download from the SASSA website or collect at the office).

Additional Information:

• Changing your SRD payment method to ShopRite will require you to open a Shoprite Money Market Account. This account is free to open and maintain, but there may be charges for specific transactions.
• You can collect your SRD grant at any ShopRite store nationwide during their operating hours.
• Be aware of potential waiting times at SASSA offices.

Important Tip:

• Make sure you understand the terms and conditions of the Shoprite Money Market Account before opening it. You can find them on the ShopRite website

I hope this comprehensive information helps you change your SRD payment method to ShopRite!
