A new digital payment system for SASSA grants promises to transform the lives of millions of needy South Africans. With 45% of the nation receiving a South African Social Security Agency grant, accessing billions in funds each month provides a significant logistical challenge.
That’s why there’s a new digital payment system for SASSA grants from EasyPay Everywhere. This innovative solution can solve the issue of travelling far distances, waiting in long queues and wasting money on public transport. Moreover, it’s the elderly, disabled, young mothers with newborns living in remote areas that will benefit most from such a service.
DIGITAL PAYMENT SYSTEM FOR SASSA GRANTS
With failed government entities like the South African Post Office no longer able to do their bit, a new approach could not be more timeous. Enter EasyPay Everywhere, which gives South Africans secure access to their monthly social grants, no matter what.
According to the company, it will leverage its branches, networks and extensive digital channels to provide support anywhere in South Africa. Moreover, the company now has 230 branches nationwide, as well as mobile agents in remote communities. The digital payment system for SASSA grants platform allows recipients to open an online account and access their funds through whatever means they prefer.
LIMITED ACCESS TO BANK AND ATMS
The thinking behind EasyPay Everywhere’s omni-channel services is that millions of SASSA grant beneficiaries don’t have access to banks and ATMs. Moreover, it’s not just a means to collect grants. The firm says it provide long-term financial security through its digital and telephonic access. Plus, there are additional financial services available, like reputable loans and insurance.
As Simphiwe Phakathi, Executive Head of Sales and Distribution at EasyPay Everywhere explains: “For many people in rural areas, the lack of accessible financial services is a barrier to improving their quality of life. We bring easy and affordable banking, loans, and insurance options to all communities. And we make it easier for people to get their grants and give them the all-around tools to take control of their finances.”
HOW DOES IT WORK?
With the EasyPay Everywhere card, grant recipients can access their money at any ATM or participating retailer. Simply follow the link HERE and input your details. “Our priority is to make sure that every grant recipient has uninterrupted access to their money. Plus, the financial solutions they need, wherever they are, to suceed,” concludes Phakathi.
Sadly, many SASSA grant recipients have not been able to access traditional financial products like loans, insurance and funeral cover. But now, EasyPay Everywhere customers can access loans by simply dialling a USSD number and dealing with a consultant. They will receive a loan in under 10 minutes.
