Common Issues When Switching to TymeBank

Sometimes, there might be a delay in processing the first payment after switching your account to TymeBank. This delay typically happens while SASSA verifies your new account details. If you experience this issue, make sure you’ve allowed enough time (usually 7-10 business days), and check your SASSA status online to confirm the update.
- Solution: If you’ve waited the required time and still haven’t received your payment, contact SASSA directly to confirm the update or inquire if there’s any issue with your banking details.
Entering incorrect banking information can lead to delays or errors in receiving your grant payments. It’s essential to double-check your account number, branch code, and other details before submitting them.
- Solution: If you realize there was an error, immediately update your bank details on the SASSA website or by visiting a SASSA office. Double-check all details to ensure the information is accurate.
Sometimes, users encounter verification issues when updating their bank details through the SASSA website. This can happen if there are connectivity issues or if your ID number doesn’t match what’s on file.
- Solution: Ensure you’re entering the correct information. If you continue to have trouble, try switching to a different internet connection or device. As a backup, you can visit a SASSA office with your TymeBank proof of account to make the update in person.
New bank accounts may receive partial payments if the change was made shortly before a grant is processed.
- Solution: Allow at least one full payment cycle for the switch to fully update. If issues persist beyond the initial cycle, confirm with SASSA that your TymeBank account is listed as the active payment account.
