How to Transfer Money from SASSA Card to Capitec Bank? There are two ways to transfer money from your SASSA card to Capitec Bank. Both methods are easy. So let’s start the guide. How to Transfer Money from SASSA Card to Capitec Bank (ATM Method) Many SASSA grant users receive their payments through the SASSA Black Card. This card works like a debit card and allows you to withdraw money from ATMs.  If you want to send your SASSA grant to your Capitec Bank account, you can do that easily. This guide explains the simple ATM method to transfer funds from your SASSA card to Capitec Bank. Follow the steps below carefully. Make sure you enter the correct details to avoid any problems. Step 1: Find a Postbank ATM Go to the nearest Postbank ATM. These ATMs support SASSA card transactions. You can also find them at selected Post Office branches and shopping malls. Make sure the ATM is working. Step 2: Insert Your SASSA Card Put your SASSA Black Card into the ATM. Wait for the screen to load the menu options. Step 3: Enter Your PIN Use the keypad to enter your 4-digit SASSA PIN. Make sure no one is watching. Keep your PIN safe at all times. Step 4: Check Your Balance From the menu, select “Check Balance.” This will show you the amount of money available on your SASSA card. It’s important to know how much you can transfer. Step 5: Select “Transfer Funds” Now, go back to the main menu. Choose the option that says “Transfer Funds” or “Money Transfer.” This option may vary slightly depending on the ATM machine. Step 6: Choose Capitec Bank as the Recipient The ATM will ask for the bank name. From the list, select “Capitec.” Make sure you select the correct bank to avoid sending money to the wrong account. Step 7: Enter the Recipient Bank Account Number Type the Capitec Bank account number where you want to send the money. Double-check the number before confirming. If the number is wrong, your money may go to another person. Step 8: Enter the Amount Now enter the amount you want to send. The ATM will show you a confirmation screen. Check the amount and the bank details again. Step 9: Confirm and Send the Money Press confirm or OK to complete the transfer. The ATM will process the request. You will get a message on the screen and a printed slip if the transfer is successful. Tips Always keep your ATM slip as proof. Do not share your PIN with anyone. Make sure you have enough balance before making a transfer. Visit a secure ATM during the daytime, especially in busy areas. How to Transfer Money from SASSA Card to Capitec Bank (Change Your Bank Account to Capitec Bank Method) If you want to stop using your SASSA card and receive money directly into your Capitec Bank account, you can update your bank details online. This is the second and easier method to receive your SRD grant payment into your Capitec account. You only need to update your bank information on the SASSA SRD website. Once you do that, your future payments will go directly into your Capitec account. No need to transfer funds again and again. Just follow these simple steps. Step 1: Get a Device and an Internet Connection Use a smartphone, laptop, or computer. Make sure your device is connected to the internet. Use a stable connection to avoid errors while filling out the form. Step 2: Visit the SRD SASSA Website Open your web browser and go to: https://srd.sassa.gov.za This is the official SASSA SRD website. Avoid using any other websites to keep your data safe. Step 3: Go to “Change Banking Details” Scroll down the homepage. Look for the section called "Change Banking Details." Click on it. This is the section where you can update your bank account linked to your SASSA SRD grant. Step 4: Enter Your ID Number and Phone Number Now enter your South African ID number and the phone number that you used when applying for the SRD grant. This number must be registered in your name. Once entered, click submit. You will receive a 6-digit OTP (One-Time PIN) on your phone. Step 5: Verify the OTP (PIN) Check your SMS messages for the PIN. Now go back to the website and enter this PIN. This step is to confirm that you are the real applicant. Once verified, you will be redirected to the bank details update form. Step 6: Fill Out the Capitec Bank Details Now you can add your Capitec Bank account details. Make sure the account is active and registered in your name. SASSA does not pay into accounts under someone else’s name. Fill in: Bank name: Capitec Bank Account type: Savings Account number Branch code (use universal code: 470010) Other required fields Step 7: Review and Submit the Form After filling out the form, double-check all the details. Make sure there are no mistakes. Click submit to complete the process. Once you submit your new bank details, SASSA will process the change. It may take a few days. After approval, your next SRD payment will be sent to your Capitec account directly. You will get a message from SASSA when the update is successful. From that point, you don’t need to use your SASSA card to get your money. Note: Make sure your Capitec account is active. You must be the legal owner of the account. Keep your phone number active to receive OTPs. Only use the official SASSA website.
