Why Does It Matter?

Breaking into South Africa’s financial services, banking, and insurance sectors without experience is notoriously tough. Because SASSA conducts strict ITC credit vetting and trains appointees on BAS accounting, debt recovery, and risk compliance, this contract builds a credible track record for future roles in credit control, claims assessment, underwriting, and public finance.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need prior banking, finance, or insurance experience to apply? No. Both positions require 0 years of working experience, making them ideal entry points for Matriculants and finance or commerce graduates.

2. Why does SASSA conduct ITC credit checks for these roles? Because Debt Management and Grants Reviews staff handle state funds, unallocated receipts, and beneficiary financial records, clean credit and criminal records are mandatory for fiduciary trust and security vetting.

3. Should I attach certified copies of my Matric certificate and ID now? No. Submit only your New Z83 form and detailed CV. Supporting certified copies (and SAQA evaluations for foreign qualifications) will be requested from shortlisted candidates.
