What happens after changing SASSA banking details?

Here’s what happens after you successfully change your SASSA banking details:

Immediately:

• Confirmation: You’ll receive a confirmation SMS or email from SASSA acknowledging your request to change your banking details.
• Processing: SASSA will begin verifying the new information you provided, which can take 7-10 business days.

After verification:

• Notification: You’ll receive another notification (SMS or email) stating that your banking details have been successfully updated.
• Future payments: Any future SASSA grant payments you’re eligible for will be deposited directly into your new bank account.
• Past payments (if applicable): Payments for approved applications before the change will still be sent to your old bank account.

Additional points:

• It’s important to be patient during the verification process. Even after receiving confirmation, your new bank details might not be active immediately.
• Double-check your new bank account information thoroughly before submitting it to avoid delays or errors.
• Keep your contact information updated with SASSA to ensure you receive future notifications and updates.
• Don’t rely on unofficial sources for information. Always refer to the official SASSA website or contact channels for reliable information and assistance.

Remember, avoid sharing your personal information with anyone posing as SASSA representatives. Only use official channels to communicate with SASSA about your grant or bank details.
