Fast and Secure Ways to Get Your SASSA Grant Payment Without Any Unwanted Deductions
SASSA grant recipients often face delays, deductions, or fraud when receiving their payments. To ensure you get your full grant amount quickly and safely, follow these steps.
1. Use a Personal Bank Account (Fastest & Safest Method)
✔ Why?
- Money is deposited directly into your account.
- No third-party deductions.
- Withdraw anytime from ATMs, retailers, or mobile banking.
✔ How to Set Up Bank Payments?
- Visit the SASSA website: https://srd.sassa.gov.za.
- Log in with your ID and phone number.
- Select “Update Banking Details.”
- Enter your bank account details.
- Wait for SMS verification and confirm.
💡 Tip: Avoid using a friend’s or family member’s bank account. Payments must go to your name-matching account.
2. Avoid Using Loan Sharks & Third-Party Collectors
❌ Never allow loan companies or agents to collect your SASSA money!
- Some unauthorized companies deduct hidden fees before giving you the money.
- Others steal your details and misuse them for fraud.
🚨 SASSA does NOT charge for grant payments! If you notice deductions, report them immediately:

💡 Tip: Avoid collecting your grant on the first day of payment to skip long queues!
4. Use Retailers & CashSend for Safer Withdrawals
If you don’t have a bank account, you can collect your grant from:
✔ Shoprite, Boxer, Pick n Pay, and Checkers
✔ CashSend via ATM (for SRD grants only)
💡 Tip: Always check your balance before leaving the store to ensure you received the full amount.
