7 Steps To Get SASSA SRD R350/R370 Grant At Boxer
I recommend you read through the steps below and try to implement the stated suggestions:
1. Visit SASSA Website And Change The Payment Method
This is the first step, without this step, all other efforts will prove futile, waste and abortive. One of the reasons for this is because you need to change the default payment method you selected when you first registered and applied for the SASSA SRD grant.
In essence, it is important you change whatever payment method you had before to Boxer, that is only when it will take effect and you will be able to get your money at any boxer shop nationwide within South Africa.
The steps to achieve this are listed below:
- Visit the main official SASSA site at: https://srd.sassa.gov.za/
- Once on the website, scroll down to a section where you will see
- South African ID holders or
- Asylum Seekers And Special Permit Holders
- Click on the Box showing South African ID holders ( if that applies to you)
- Once on the page, scroll down and locate a box ( under how Do i change my banking details)
- Type your South Africa ID number in the box provided and click submit
- This will require you to log in with your South African ID number
- Now, after you click submit, a myriad of options will show up on the next page, just scroll down, look for Boxer and select it.
- Choosing this means that you have now chosen Boxer as your preferred payment method.
- The next step is updating your information ( basically, refilling the details again to be sure everything is intact). Again, as an option, you may need to select the Boxer store nearest to you where you can access your fund.
- Review the information again and after you are sure, click on submit
- After few minutes, you will get an SMS confirming that you have enacted such changes and that your new payment method is Boxer.
Now, the SMS you will get from SASSA is very important because the SMS contains the date for you to go and collect the money at boxer and also it will specify the name and location of the boxer shop to go.

2. Wait For SASSA SRD SMS
Now, before going to Boxer for the collection of your SASSA SRD R370 or R350, it is important you have received the SMS from SASSA.
Going to Boxer without the SMS from SASSA is a waste of time because the moment you receive the SMS, the boxer shop you are going to will be notified also.
So if you go without the SMS, the cashier at Boxer will not see anything on the computer system for you!!
3. Arrange and go with required physical documents
You need to go with two physical things to boxer to collect your SRD R350 or R370 grant, these items are:
- Your physical original copy of your South Africa ID
- Your original Asylum papers ( if you are a foreigner)
- Your mobile phone containing the SMS received from Boxer

4. Locate the specified Boxer Store Shop
Everything you need is in the SMS you received from Boxer. As earlier mentioned, the SMS contains the exact Boxer store you need to go.
If you go to another Boxer store apart from the one specified in the text message, you will not be able to get your money.
5. Present Details to Boxer Cashier
When it is your turn to meet the cashier at the Till Point, tell him or her you want to collect your R370 or R350 grant, the first thing the person will ask is your ID number and phone number.
Then the person will punch it in on the computer, if everything goes well, the cashier will count your money and give it to you without any problem.
