(c)(i)(ii)(iii) In order to prevent fraudulent transactions or changes to banking details, SANRAL’s internal control measures requires the supplier to submit changes to banking details on a registration form accompanied by an original bank statement/letter/cancelled cheque, confirming the new account number or correct account number. These suppliers have been notified of the problem. SANRAL will pay as soon as it receives correct bank account numbers in a prescribed format. The suppliers have been informed of the prescribed format for changing banking details
