Switch your SASSA SRD R370 payment to TymeBank by updating your banking details at srd.sassa.gov.za/sc19/banking. TymeBank accounts verify faster than most traditional banks — BVS approval often completes within 48 hours. Same-day account opening with just your ID makes TymeBank a popular choice for SASSA beneficiaries without existing bank accounts.

Why TymeBank Works Well for SASSA Payments

  • Zero monthly fees on the GoalSave and EveryDay accounts
  • Open an account in under 5 minutes at any Pick n Pay or Boxer store kiosk using just your ID
  • BankservAfrica BVS registration is immediate after account opening
  • SMS notification the moment your SASSA R370 payment reflects
  • Free cash withdrawals at Pick n Pay till points using your TymeBank card

Step 1 — Open Your TymeBank Account

If you do not already have a TymeBank account, open one before updating your SASSA details. Visit any Pick n Pay, Pick n Pay Liquor or Boxer store with a TymeBank kiosk. You only need your South African green barcoded ID or smart ID card.

  1. Approach the TymeBank kiosk in-store
  2. Scan your ID barcode when prompted
  3. Complete the biometric fingerprint scan
  4. Set a 5-digit PIN for your card
  5. Receive your TymeBank card and account number on the spot

The account number and branch code print on your TymeBank card. TymeBank branch code is 678910. Save both before leaving the store.

Step 2 — Update SASSA Banking Details to TymeBank

  1. Go to srd.sassa.gov.za/sc19/banking on your phone
  2. Enter your 13-digit South African ID number
  3. Open the one-time secure link sent to your registered SASSA phone number
  4. Select "TymeBank" from the bank dropdown list
  5. Enter your TymeBank account number
  6. Enter branch code 678910
  7. Select account type: Savings
  8. Submit and note the BNK reference number

Timeline: When TymeBank Starts Receiving Your Payment

  • BVS verification: 24 to 48 hours for TymeBank (faster than traditional banks)
  • Update before the 15th of the month: current month's payment goes to TymeBank (released 24–30)
  • Update after the 15th: change applies from the following month's payment

TymeBank sends an SMS when your SASSA credit arrives. Check your balance at any Pick n Pay till or TymeBank app. The first withdrawal at Pick n Pay cashback is free each month.

What to Do if Your TymeBank Update is Rejected

  • Name mismatch: Your TymeBank account name must match your ID exactly. If your account shows a nickname, visit a kiosk and update it to your full legal name.
  • Account too new: TymeBank registers on BankservAfrica immediately, but if you applied within the last hour, wait 30 minutes and resubmit.
  • Wrong branch code: Confirm TymeBank branch code is 678910 — not the same as traditional banks.
