Quick answer
Only change your banking details directly on the SRD portal. Type your new account number slowly, submit it once, and wait for the verification message to appear.
What this means
Scammers know people search for 'change R350 bank details' on Google. Never click on random links that promise a shortcut. The only real route is through the official gov.za website.
Why this matters
Bank-detail changes for this kind of support are high-stress because they are directly connected to payment. That makes users more likely to trust wrong links or rush through the update.
What you can do next
- Start from the relevant official banking-details route.
- Check the page carefully before entering information.
- Submit the new bank details once and carefully.
- Save the current wording and any reference.
- Watch for banking-verification or payment-method updates before assuming the change failed.
How to think about it
The key is to separate the search phrase from the official route. The phrase may help you find the topic, but the official route still decides where the update belongs and how it is confirmed.
Important things to remember
GrantCare will never ask for your bank details. If a site claiming to be GrantCare asks for your account number, close the page immediately.
How GrantCare can help
GrantCare can help you compare changed bank details, pending payment method wording, and banking verification guidance after the official update is done.
