Steps to follow to change Sassa payment to bank account:
Step 1: Go to the Sassa Website
Step 2: Download the Sassa Bank Form
Step 3: Print out the form.
Step 4: Take the form to your bank to be completed and stamped.
Step 5: Take the form to a SASSA local office to be captured and processed
That’s all you have to do. Sassa will then capture your form and process it. They will then deposit the social grant money directly into the bank account after verifications.
Why you have to submit the form yourself?
It is important to note that you as the beneficiary must submit the form to your local SASSA office because the agency will need to take some fingerprints to confirm your request to change method of payment and bank details.
Where to find the Sassa Bank Change Form?
You may download the bank form here or obtain it from any of the Sassa local offices.
Where to submit the form?
You have to submit the form to your local Sassa office personally. You can’t submit it online as Sassa will have to do some verification such as fingerprints as stated above.
