If you’re receiving the SASSA R350 (SRD) grant, you might want an easier and safer way to access your money. Instead of using traditional bank accounts, you can switch your payment to a Shoprite Money Market Account, a low-cost, easy-to-use account that lets you withdraw or use your money at any Shoprite, Checkers, or Usave store.

Let me explain you this how to do this step by step.

Once submitted, SASSA will update your payment method to the new Shoprite account.
