Now that we know how to supply SASSA with your banking information for the grant application, let’s have a look at some of the questions that are asked the most frequently concerning the Covid-19 assistance award.

What Is The Minimum Time For Sassa To Verify Your SASSA Banking Details?

After at least seven business working days have passed and no more than ten business working days have elapsed, SASSA will verify the information regarding your bank account. The amount of time required by SASSA to authenticate your financial data does not take into account any holidays that may occur during that process.

For example, if you provide SASSA with your banking information on a Friday, they will not begin the process of verifying the information you provided about your bank account on the weekend; rather, they will wait until Monday to get started on the process. This is the case even if you provided the information on a Friday.

What is the Maximum Time For Sassa To Verify Your SASSA Banking Details?

Due to the vast number of applicants whose banking information has to be validated, SASSA estimates that it will take no more than ten business days during regular hours to finish verifying your financial information. This is the quickest that it can be done in this period of time.

How will I know whether Sassa has verified the details of my bank account?

As soon as SASSA has finished validating your banking information, the information about your bank account will appear on your SASSA dashboard, and you will be able to see the information regarding payments.

Is It Possible For Me To Send Sassa Online My Banking Information?

Your ability to provide the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) with internet access to your financial information is unquestionably a reality.

How to Send Sassa My Banking Information Online?

You need to go to the SASSA website at this time.
Sign in to the account you have.
Send SASSA the required financial information by selecting the option to “payment into your bank account.”
After you have finished providing SASSA with the online banking information, you will be able to proceed to deposit all of your SASSA payments into the bank account that you will be given.

does Sassa allow me to make changes to it AFTER SUBMITTING MY BANKING INFORMATION?

Once you have provided SASSA with your banking information, you will have the ability to modify that information at any point in the future. You can change your banking information by going through the same procedures that you did when you initially submitted your banking information to your SASSA account. This will allow you to make any necessary adjustments.

However, SASSA must first validate your former banking information to confirm that it is still accurate before they may pay your SASSA award using your new information. Therefore, we highly recommend that you make any necessary changes to your SASSA banking details at least 15 days before the day on which your SASS award is due to be paid. SASSA needs up to ten business days (not counting weekends and holidays) to verify your financial data.
