Bank Deposits to the SACAA

The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) has embarked on a project to streamline its processes to identify and receipt deposits made into its current bank account. Currently many deposits are made without clear referencing. This makes it difficult to allocate the payment(s) to a particular transaction/application or account holder. Clients are therefore kindly requested to adhere to the deposit referencing requirements stipulated below for all deposits into the SACAA account with immediate effect. The banking details are also confirmed.
