Using a Bank Account to Receive Your Grant Amount
Getting your grant amount in your bank account is the easiest way if you have chosen it as your payment method in your SASSA grant application. Go to the nearest bank branch or ATM to withdraw the amount.
Receiving a Grant Through the SASSA Card
If you have chosen your SASSA card as your payment method in the grant application, you can also get a grant with it. You can receive the payment with this card from your nearest ATM or SASSA-Partnered retail store.
Accepting Grant Money Through SASSA-Partnered Retailers
SASSA-Partnered retailers such as Pick n Pay, SPAR, Boxer, and Shoprite are also the best way to receive grant amounts after choosing them as your payment method in the grant application.
Please visit these stores with your ID and registered phone number to receive your grant money.
