What Are TymeBank SASSA Loans?
TymeBank doesn’t offer long-term loans on grants.
But it does offer GrantAdvance, a short-term, interest-free loan.
This lets you access part of your SASSA grant before payday.
It’s fast, safe, and has no hidden costs.
What is GrantAdvance?
GrantAdvance is a loan against your upcoming grant.
You can get up to R500 (or R1,000 for some users) before payday.
It’s interest-free and repaid automatically when your next grant is paid.
