How do I transfer money from a SASSA card to Capitec?

Unfortunately, you cannot directly transfer money from a SASSA card to a Capitec account. The SASSA card itself isn’t a linked account but a prepaid card for accessing your grant funds. Instead of transferring from the card, you can withdraw cash from an ATM using your SASSA card and then deposit the cash into your Capitec account.

What if my Capitec account name doesn’t exactly match my ID?

For successful and secure updates, the name on your Capitec account must be identical to the one on your ID. Any discrepancies can cause delays or rejection of the update. Consider contacting Capitec to update your account name if necessary.

How long will it take for the update to reflect?

The processing time for online updates can take a few business days. Be patient and allow SASSA to update their system.

Can I update my bank details at an SASSA office instead?

Yes, you can visit your nearest SASSA office if you’re unable to update online. Bring a completed SASSA form (e.g., SASSA 1 or SASSA 13) along with certified copies of your ID and proof of your Capitec bank account ownership.

Are there any fees involved in switching to a Capitec account?

There shouldn’t be any fees associated with changing your SASSA banking details. However, using ATMs for withdrawals with your SASSA card might incur fees, especially if you use another bank’s ATM. Review your SASSA card terms and Capitec’s deposit limits to avoid any unexpected charges.

By following these steps, you can successfully switch your SASSA R350 grant payouts to your Capitec bank account for convenient access to your funds. If you encounter any difficulties during the online process, you can contact SASSA’s toll-free number at 0800 60 10 11 for assistance.
