If you’re a SASSA grant recipient and have lost your SASSA card, don’t worry! In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to withdraw money from SASSA without a card using ABSA’s Cash Send or FNB’s E-Wallet. Additionally, we’ll explain how to change your payment method to your personal bank account and answer common questions about SASSA, including where to withdraw money and the need for an ID.

Step 1: Withdraw Money from SASSA Using ABSA’s Cash Send or FNB’s E-Wallet

If you don’t have your SASSA card but need to withdraw your grant money, you can do so through ABSA’s Cash Send or FNB’s E-Wallet. Visit the nearest ATM of either partner bank and follow the prompts to withdraw your funds without using your ATM card. Although having a SASSA Card is advisable for easier withdrawals, this method allows you to access your money when needed.

Step 2: Utilize SASSA’s Cashless Payment System

SASSA has introduced a cashless payment system for grant recipients. If your mobile phone number was used to apply for the grant and registered through RICA, you can withdraw money using your phone number. This convenient option ensures you can access your funds even without the physical presence of your SASSA card.

Step 3: Change Your Payment Method to Your Bank Account

To withdraw money from SASSA without a card, consider changing your payment method to your personal bank account. Visit the official website of SRD SASSA and find the section “How do I change my banking details.” Enter your ID and phone number, and SASSA will send you an SMS containing a secure link. Follow the instructions, select your bank account as the payment method, and input your account number.

Step 4: Verification and Payment

After changing your payment method, SASSA will verify your details. Once verified, you will start receiving grant payments directly into your bank account. You can also receive payments through E-Wallet or CashSend without needing a SASSA card.

Step 5: Lost Your SASSA Card?

If you’ve lost your SASSA card, take immediate action. Inform SASSA officials and file a report at your nearest police station. To get a replacement card, visit the nearest SASSA office and follow their instructions. Keep in mind that you will be charged a fine of R26, which will be deducted from your next payment for the card replacement.

Step 6: Withdraw Money from SASSA Card to Bank Account

To transfer money from your SASSA card to your bank account, visit any nearest SASSA office and request a change of payment method or bank account forms. Fill out the forms carefully with your ID documents and other particulars. SASSA will notify you when your request is granted, and you can start receiving your SASSA grants directly into your preferred bank account.

Step 7: Collecting SASSA Money Without an ID

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to collect SASSA grant money without a valid South African ID or asylum seeker permit. The SRD grant requires specific eligibility criteria, and providing identification documents, such as an ID number or asylum seeker permit number, is mandatory during registration.

Step 8: ATM Options for SASSA Withdrawals

You can withdraw your SASSA grant from various ATMs, including Capitec, Absa, Standard Bank, FNB, and more. Look for ATMs labeled as SASSA ATMs at these banks to withdraw your funds conveniently.

Step 10: SASSA R350 Cardless Withdrawal

You can also apply for a change of SASSA withdrawal method from your SASSA card to your personal bank account. Visit the official SRD SASSA website and find the “How do I change my banking details” option. Enter your ID card number and phone number in the prescribed fields. You will receive a text message with a link. Follow the instructions to change your payment method. Note that cardless ATM withdrawals from SASSA are not possible.

Remember, you can withdraw your SASSA money from any ATM, including Capitec, Absa, Standard Bank, FNB, and more. Additionally, selected supermarkets and stores like Shoprite and Checkers allow you to withdraw money or make purchases using your SASSA card.
