Payment methods and collection options

Beneficiaries may receive grants through a bank account, Postbank-linked route or another approved method depending on the grant and the latest official arrangements. Always verify the payment method shown on your own record.

If you want to change a method, use the official procedure and allow time for verification before assuming the change is complete.

Need official action?

This page explains the topic but cannot alter an application, payment, appeal or contact record. Use a recognised official SASSA service whenever personal grant data must be changed.
