For a hassle-free experience, SASSA grant beneficiaries can switch their payments to a Shoprite Money Market Account and enjoy the many benefits offered by South Africa’s lowest-cost, fully-fledged, transactional bank account.
Switching is free of charge, and there are no obligations to sign up for any additional services.
The benefits of a Money Market Account include:
- No monthly fees. Clients only pay a flat R5 fee for cash withdrawals. All other transactions are free and no other South African bank account matches this offer.
- Clients have full control over their money through SMS payment notifications and real-time balance enquiries on their phone.
- Skip long queues and high fees at ATMs by depositing and withdrawing cash at any of the more than 25 000 till points at Shoprite, Checkers and Usave stores nationwide.
- Clients don’t pay any fees to send money, buy airtime, data, electricity, send grocery vouchers, pay bills and pay for groceries from their phones.
Switch to Shoprite’s Money Market Account for stress-free SASSA pay outs – free of charge
