About SASSA R350 Payment Method Change
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) is changing the way it processes social grants.
The new system will be called SASSA R350 and will replace the current system, SASSA Pay.
The method of payment for social grants has changed from cash to a direct deposit into your bank account.
This means that you will no longer receive a physical voucher to withdraw cash from an ATM machine. Instead, your grant money will be deposited directly into your account.
This change is designed to make it easier for people who receive social grants to access their money more easily and securely than before.
It is also expected that it will reduce opportunities for fraud by making it harder for criminals to steal or misuse grant funds.

Tracking the Status of Your Payment Method Change
When you change your payment method, it’s important to know if your old and new methods are connected or if they have to be activated separately.
If both of your accounts have been active for at least 24 hours, you can track the status of your payment method change by logging in to your Sassa account.
Moreover going to: Payment Methods > View Details. You should see an entry for each payment method that has been linked to your Sassa account.
The status of these entries will reflect whether or not they have been activated or remain pending.
If one of the entries shows “Pending Activation”, this means that it has not yet been activated on our end.
It’s likely that there was some kind of issue connecting our systems and we’re working on resolving it as quickly as possible.
