TymeBank is reshaping the way South Africans manage their finances, offering accessible and cost-effective banking solutions tailored to meet the needs of SASSA grant recipients. With user-friendly tools, zero monthly fees, and innovative services like GrantAdvance, TymeBank makes managing social grants simple and stress-free.
GrantAdvance allows TymeBank customers to access up to R500 of their social grant before the official payment date, providing a financial cushion during emergencies.

Once the account is active, customers should visit their nearest SASSA office to update their banking details, enabling seamless grant payments into their TymeBank account. This integration offers convenient access to funds through the TymeBank mobile app, USSD, or internet banking, all without monthly fees.
