In 2025 it is easy to update your R350 grant banking details through the SRD website. Read on to find out how!
How to Change Your SASSA SRD R350 Grant Banking Details
If you are a recipient of the SASSA SRD R370 Grant and need to update or change your banking details, you can easily do so by following the steps outlined below.
It is important to ensure that you are the owner of the account or mobile phone number that you register for payment, as SASSA cannot process payments to another person’s account or phone number.
1. Visit the SRD Website
The first step is to navigate to the official SRD website at srd.sassa.gov.za. On the homepage, you will need to indicate whether you are a South African ID holder or an asylum seeker/permit holder. Once you make this selection, you’ll be directed to a new page.
Action:
Scroll down the page until you find the section titled “How do I change my banking details?” and click on it.
2. Submit Your ID Number
To begin the process, you will be asked to submit your South African ID number or asylum seeker permit number. This step is crucial, as SASSA uses this identification to link your new banking details to your profile.
Note:
Make sure that the ID number you enter matches the one registered with your SRD application to avoid any complications.
3. Receive SMS with a Secure Link
Once you submit your ID number, SASSA will send you an SMS with a unique, secure link. This link will be sent to the mobile phone number you originally used when applying for the SRD grant.
Important:
Ensure that you have access to this phone number as the SMS is only valid for your specific account. If your mobile number has changed, you’ll first need to update your contact details on the SRD website before proceeding with this step.
4. Click the Link and Enter Your Updated Banking Details
After receiving the SMS, click on the secure link provided. You will be redirected to a page where you can enter your new banking details.
This includes your:
- Bank name
- Branch code
- Bank account number
Alternatively, if you prefer to receive your grant via a mobile money transfer, select the mobile transfer option from one of the major South African banks.
5. Verification Process
Once you’ve entered and submitted your new banking details, SASSA will begin a verification process to ensure that all information provided is accurate. This verification helps maintain the security of the payment system and ensures that the payments go to the correct recipient.
Tip:
Be patient, as the verification process may take some time. SASSA will notify you once your details have been successfully updated and verified.
6. Future Payments
After successful verification, your new banking details will be used for all future payments of your SASSA SRD R370 grant. Make sure to double-check your account details for accuracy to avoid any delays or interruptions in receiving your payments.
