Sassa Grant Collection
Sassa beneficiaries can choose to have their Sassa grant be paid directly to their bank account.
Sassa Grant beneficiaries can also collect their Sassa social grants at several payment points. These payment points include ATMs and retail stores such as Pick n Pay, Checkers, Shoprite and Boxer.
Sassa has said that there is no need to rush to withdraw the Sassa money on the first day because once the money is paid, it will remain in your bank account.
