To receive SASSA grants like the SRD R370 payment, your banking information must be on file, including your bank, branch code, account number, and account type, and it generally needs to be in your name. If you open a new account, change banks, or your current account stops working, update SASSA using the SASSA banking details link is here for you.
Current policy and practical guidance
Allowed but with caution
- Yes, you can change your banking details with SASSA. However, frequent changes may cause delays in processing your grant payments.
- Some sources indicate a limit, suggesting you may only update your banking details once every three months.
- SASSA also restricts updates to one request within 24 hours.
What SASSA emphasises
- The account must be in your name and match your ID number.
- Updates trigger a verification process, which takes roughly 5–10 working days. Until verification is complete, your next payment might be delayed or go into the old account.
- Beneficiaries are warned not to keep changing their banking details and contact numbers frequently, as this can delay payment processing.
Can you change multiple times in a year?
Short answer: Yes, you technically can, but with important limits and caveats.
Breakdown:
- If you change once, and all details are correct, you’ll avoid undue delays.
- Attempting to change again shortly afterwards may hit restrictions, such as “once every three months.”
- Each change triggers verification, so frequent changes may delay SASSA payments.
- In practice, you can change more than once a year, possibly up to four times （once every three months）, but doing fewer changes avoids disruptions.
Recommended best practice
- Double‑check your new bank details before submitting to avoid mistakes.
- Avoid submitting a change just before a payment date to prevent delays.
- Stick with one account for as long as possible, changing only when necessary.
- If your account is closed or bank details have changed, it’s time to update.
- Keep proof of submission or reference number when you update to follow up if needed.
- Ensure your registered phone number is active for verification updates.
Before updating your banking information again, it’s useful to understand how to SASSA cancel application in case you need to withdraw or restart your grant process.
What happens when you update your details
- You submit your update via the SASSA portal or approved methods.
- SASSA verifies that the account belongs to you, matches your ID, and is active, taking approximately 5–10 working days.
- Until verification is complete, payments may go to your old account or be delayed.
- Once verified, future grant payments go into your new bank account.
- Multiple changes or mismatched details may result in additional verification and further payment delays.
Risks of frequent changes
- Frequent changes may flag your profile for suspected fraud or system abuse.
- Incorrect updates （wrong account number, not your account） can result in failed payments.
- Attempts to update too soon may be blocked with messages like “already requested in past 24 hours.”
- Changing banking details alongside other key details （like mobile number） may further delay verification.
Yes, you can change your SASSA banking details multiple times in a year. However, there is a practical limit, commonly cited as once every three months. To keep payments running smoothly, change only when necessary, ensure accuracy, and allow 5–10 working days for verification.
