Take Note of the following when Changing your payment options to bank.

• Make sure the bank account is officially in the applicant’s name, as SASSA will not pay grant to any other person other than the approved applicant. You cannot use your family member’s bank account.
• Make sure bank accounts details are correct as a single mistake can lead to delay or nonpayment.
• Be reminded that, payment through the new option is for future or subsequent payments. In effect, if the applicant’s grant is approved with pay dates for a particular month, he or she will still collect the grant from the previous payments option, until the next payment passes through the new collections point.
• If you are not currently having any problems with your collection point, there is no need to switch as this sometimes leads to delay in payments.
• If the phone with the sim card registered with is not a smart phone, you can use a friend’s smartphone (but insert your sim card) to complete the online process.
