SASSA Payment Methods – Everything A Beneficiary Should Know

The National Agency has launched diversified SASSA payment methods to facilitate their beneficiaries. SRD R350 recipients will choose the right payment method according to their needs and accessibility.

We aim to provide you with a better understanding of how you can get your SASSA payments through easy and efficient methods.

SASSA has provided multiple SASSA payment methods for its beneficiaries to ensure you receive a seamless transfer of the SASSA payment relief grant program. There are diverse ways to receive your government grant of Social Relief of Distress SRD R350 payments.

Let’s choose any of the following according to your feasibility.

If you have your bank account and are comfortable with online transfer of funds, then you may opt for SASSA payment through online bank transfer.

You may go for SASSA payment through the Post office option. You will collect your SASSA grant in form of cash on-site. You have to provide your identity verification physically at the spot in Post Banks in the form of your ID- card number and your SASSA Application ID.

You may collect your SASSA grant from any branch of the Post Office near you. Post office branches are widespread in the country, so it would be easy to prefer this method as preferred one for those who need help tackling online stuff.

Moya App is the digital wallet that is authorized by SASSA for online transfer of Grants. If you prefer an online transaction directly from your SASSA account to your Mobile phone, select Moya App as your chosen payment method for SASSA Grants. 

The Moya App is a data-free mobile platform that allows South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) beneficiaries to manage and update their SRD R350 grant banking details with ease. While the app itself does not directly handle payments, it provides a convenient gateway to access the official srd.sassa.gov.za site without using mobile data. Through this link, users can securely update their bank account information or switch to mobile money options like Cash Send or e-wallet, enabling faster and more flexible access to grant funds.

Using the Moya App for bank mobile money transfers is especially helpful for recipients without smartphones or those in areas with limited internet connectivity. Once a mobile banking method is selected and verified (such as through Capitec Bank, FNB eWallet, or Nedbank MobiMoney), beneficiaries receive their payments directly to their phones. This method eliminates the need to travel to physical pay points or stand in long queues, making it a safer and more efficient alternative—particularly useful in rural or underserved communities.

If you have your SASSA ATM Card, you can have your SASSA Grant amount transferred directly from your SASSA account to any one of the authorized Retailer stores of the Government. You may also transfer your amount directly from your SASSA Card to Capitec if you have an active Capitec account in your name as a beneficiary.

You may transfer your grant amount directly from the SASSA Card to Boxers near your residency. Just visit the nearest local Boxer retailer store and ask if SASSA Grants have arrived in beneficiaries’ accounts online. On the announced payment date, you can receive your SRD R350 Grant relief, Child Support, Care dependency or any grant.

USave is another local retailer that has the permission by the South African Government to offer grant payments to the recipients as soon as received by SASSA national agency. You can head to it for your SASSA Cash collection.

ShopRite is distributed nationwide and you can receive your SASSA amount directly if you have transferred your grant from your SASSA Card to ShopRite retailers National number to receive it in the form of cash.
