There are different ways that millions of South Africans use to receive the SASSA R350 Grant, all thanks to SASSA, but in this article, I will be talking about how to change or switch to one payment method, in particular, Pick n Pay.
People are looking for ways to change their SRD payment method, so I’m glad to inform you that you can do that on the official website, srd.sassa.gov.za. This article will teach you how to change your payment method to Pick n Pay on the website. After changing, you have to visit any Pick n Pay store in South Africa to get or use your money.
Note that while you are free to change your payment method to your choice, SASSA has made it clear that the best option for R350 grant beneficiaries is to receive their payment in their bank accounts because it is easier and faster for them to send your money to your bank account than to other options. It is also much easier for you to withdraw the funds anywhere you are with your debit card than for you to stress yourself going to collection centres.
