Sassa Reminds SRD Beneficiaries Not to Repeatedly Change Banking Details

It is important that SRD beneficiaries refrain from changing their banking details repeatedly, according to Sassa, the organization responsible for administering the Social Relief of Distress Grant and many other grants.

Sassa SRD Announcement to Beneficiaries

According to Sassa, clients should refrain from changing their bank details on the SRD website repeatedly, as each change will require verification- which may delay their payment.

What are other Causes of Delay in SRD Payments?

The following are some of the causes of delay for the SRD payments:

Incorrect name and or surname

Payment may be delayed if the SRD system does not match the Home Affairs database for the client. On the SRD system, beneficiaries must enter the appropriate information.

Incorrect Banking Details

Likewise, incorrect banking details will prevent Sassa from processing funds for the beneficiary. It is the client’s responsibility to make sure that the banking details are accurate.
