TymeBank and SASSA Social Grants

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. This interest-free advance is available during the last 10 days of the month and is automatically repaid when the next grant payment is deposited, ensuring no additional fees or charges.

To benefit from TymeBank’s services, grant recipients can open an EveryDay account at kiosks located in Pick n Pay, Boxer, or TFG stores. 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.
