Next, click the yellow โ€œclick here to proceedโ€ button under the title โ€œSouth African ID Holdersโ€ at the bottom of the first page of the website. After clicking this button, you will see the next page, where you will find the heading โ€œHow do I change my banking detailsโ€.ย 

Step 3: Enter Your South African ID

After that, enter your 13-digit ID under the change banking details heading to prove your identity.

Step 7: Submit the Details

Now, click the โ€œSubmitโ€ or โ€œUpdateโ€ button. You will receive a confirmation SMS from SASSA or see a notification on the website after a successful change in banking details. 

2. Change Your Banking Details to TymeBank By Visiting SASSA Office

This method is slightly different from the previous one because you need to visit the SASSA office and follow these steps:

  • Then, become SASSA grant recipients (If you are not yet) by visiting your nearest SASSA office. 
  • Next, download and print your TymeBank account statement from your banking app and submit it to your close-distance SASSA  office. 
  • Now, request the SASSA staff that you want to receive your R370 grant in your Tymebank account.ย 
  • The SASSA team will verify your banking details and change your grant recipient method to a Tymebank account within 7 to 10 working days if they find your details correct.
