How to Update SRD Banking Details / Payment Method (Correct Flow)
Banking / Payment Method Changes Can Trigger Identity Verification
Updating your SASSA SRD banking details or payment method, may trigger SASSA’s identity verification to confirm if it is the real applicant who is making the change. This is especially common during sensitive account changes.
Important: If identity verification is required and not completed, further checks on your SRD profile can pause until you complete that verification step.
- Complete identity verification as soon as the official system prompts you.
- If your status shows Awaiting Identity Verification, complete the verification path first before expecting payment updates.
- Only continue troubleshooting payment dates after identity verification is resolved.
OTP / Phone Number Problems While Updating Payment Method
If you cannot complete the banking details or payment method update because you are not receiving OTPs, the problem is often linked to your registered SRD phone number.
Lost old SIM / old number
You may need to update your SRD mobile number before you can finish OTP-based steps.
No OTP received yet
Retry later if the system is busy, confirm the number entered is correct, and avoid repeated random attempts.
Identity verification request appears instead
This can happen after sensitive changes. Complete the identity verification step before expecting further progress.
Approved But No Payment Date After Updating Banking Details
It is possible for your SRD status to show Approved while a payment date is still missing. Banking/payment method verification and account checks can delay date allocation.
- Confirm your payment method/banking update was submitted on the official portal.
- Complete any OTP or identity verification steps still pending.
- Re-check the official status portal after some time.
- Use the dedicated page for deeper troubleshooting if approval remains without a pay date.
