How to Change Your SASSA Payment Method or Bank Details (Deadline: Before the 19th)

SASSA advises that any change to your payment method or banking details should be submitted before the 19th of each month to avoid delays, which means the next cut-off is 19 October. To make the change, visit your local SASSA office with a valid ID and bank confirmation documents, and complete a consent form there. You don’t need to rush to collect on payday because grant money stays available in your account. Be careful with anyone who offers to “fix” your payment details for a fee or asks for your PIN, and read our guide on spotting unregistered lenders before borrowing against a grant.
