Just realized a lot of people don't know how easy it actually is to change your SRD grant bank details now. Been helping my mom with this and it's way simpler than the old permanent grant process. So if you're on the SRD R370, you can literally do it all online through their portal - no need to go to an office like before. You just need your SA ID number, then they send you an SMS link, click it, enter your new bank account details, and done. Takes a few days for the bank to verify but that's it. The thing is, make sure the account is actually in your name though - they won't pay into joint accounts or anything like that. I think a lot of people mess this up. If you're changing your phone number for the SRD, same deal - online portal, enter your ID, new number, they send you an OTP to verify, and you're sorted. Way better than having to sit at a SASSA office for hours. If the portal gives you issues, you can always call them on 0800 60 10 or email, but honestly the online method works fine. Just don't use any random websites claiming to do this stuff for you - there's a lot of fakes out there trying to scam people. Stick to the official SASSA portal and you're good. Anyone else on the SRD recently updated their details?
