SASSA SRD Payments at ATM without a Card

Since the reinstatement of the SASSA SRD R350 grants payments, one of the payment methods or options SASSA made available was Cash Send or Ewallet. In this instance, approved applicants can go to the ATM of a partner bank and withdraw his or her grant without the use of an ATM card. All that the applicant will need is the mobile phone number that was used to apply. The phone number must be RICA’d or registered in the applicant’s name. This is to help the verification as SASSA wants to make sure that, qualified applicants receive the grants in the right and verified accounts whether being a bank or Ewallet.

But the over the months, SASSA had a challenge when they requested approval from the National Treasury for the procurement that would allow the banks’ ATM machines to be used for the collection of the SRD R350 grants with a minimal fee. Unfortunately, that did not materialize, and along the line, SASSA asked such affected ones to either submit their preferred personal bank account details or they will be automatically switched to the default payment, thus the post office.

In fact, this led to a delay in the payment of the Cash Send users who have been approved several months without pay dates pending payment method verification. If you are an Ewallet or Cash Send user and have still not submitted your bank account details, then please expect to be paid at the post office. Post office payments are paid only to those who have been approved with payment dates. they have developed a system where payments are done using the last three digits of the applicant’s ID number. Each month post office payments dates are posted on this website with the latest one being the January payment schedule.
