SASSA Beneficiaries & Cardholders
All the requests in SASSA changing bank details or personal information are forwarded to the Department of Home Affairs for further verification and validation. Under verification tenure, all the personal information, such as name, registered mobile number, South African ID number, bank details of beneficiary, bank account number, and other information, are matched with the details in their database of State.
After the complete validation of information, the beneficiary is notified about the approval of the application.
Account ownership: Your Capitec bank account must be in your name, as SASSA will not transfer your SRD R350 grant to any account that does not match the original beneficiary’s name
Registered mobile number: Make sure that your SASSA registered mobile number is issued in your name through a mobile company. A SASSA registered mobile number that does not match the beneficiary’s name would be considered a scam.
