Where Can You Collect Your Grants?
You can collect your SASSA grant money from Boxer, Pick n Pay, Shoprite, Checkers, selected banks, and other participating retailers.
Grants can also be directly deposited into your personal bank account — not just the Postbank Visa debit card. This gives beneficiaries more flexibility in how they access their money, whether through ATMs, in-store withdrawals, or banking apps.
What You Need to Collect Your Grant
To collect your social grant, you will need:
Your valid SASSA card or Postbank Visa debit card or Bank Card.
A valid South African ID document or Smart ID card.
Your PIN for the card.
If you don’t have a card or if you lost it, you should visit your nearest SASSA office or Postbank to get a replacement before the payment date.

Tips to Avoid Long Queues and Delays
Go Early in the Day: Arrive at your collection point early to avoid the midday rush. Mornings are usually quieter and safer.
Avoid the First Day if You Can: The first day of payments is often the busiest. If your situation allows, try collecting a day or two later.
Use Alternative Retailers: Try stores like Boxer, Pick n Pay, Shoprite, or Checkers, which may have shorter queues than post offices or SASSA pay points.
Use ATMs or Bank Transfers: If your grant is paid into a bank account or Postbank Visa debit card, consider using an ATM or your bank’s app to withdraw funds without waiting in line.
Have Your Documents Ready: Always carry your SASSA card or Postbank Visa debit card, your ID, and any relevant paperwork to avoid delays.
Stay Informed: Check SASSA’s official updates for any last-minute changes to payment dates or locations.
Practice Safety: Be alert when carrying cash. Avoid displaying money in public and, if possible, travel with someone you trust.
Follow Health Guidelines: Even if COVID-19 restrictions have eased, it’s still wise to wear a mask in crowded areas, sanitize your hands, and keep a safe distance.
Ask for Help: Don’t be afraid to speak to SASSA staff, store employees, or volunteers if you need guidance — they’re there to assist.
Report Issues: If you notice suspicious activity or experience problems, report it to the SASSA helpline or security personnel at the pay point.
