What Beneficiaries Should Expect
Bank Deposit
Although the release happens on Monday morning, balances generally update from mid-morning through early afternoon. Some banks may only reflect after 14:00, depending on their clearing cycles. Families should avoid unnecessary trips before balances update.
Why Monday Matters for Families
A Monday payout provides stability for the week. It allows caregivers to address medical, school, and transport needs without falling behind. October’s alignment ensures that households can settle urgent costs before mid-week, reducing stress for both guardians and children.

Suitable Withdrawl Time
Best Time to Access Funds
Heavy demand is expected at opening hours. The calmer period is 13:00–15:30, when queues are shorter and terminals less congested. Beneficiaries who can wait until this window will experience less stress and faster service.
Safer Access Points
Choose ATMs and retailers with visible security, cameras, and proper lighting. Travel during daylight hours, especially when accompanying children.
What If Payment Not Received
If funds are not visible by late afternoon on Monday, beneficiaries should:
- Check a different channel (ATM mini-statement, mobile app, or in-store inquiry).
- Recheck after the bank’s second posting cycle, usually after 16:00.
- Note the time and method of each check, as this record speeds up queries if problems persist into the next day.
