How long does SARS take to process change of bank details and to refund the money?

Posted 22 July 2014

I was told that I have a refund from SARS but I was suppose to go and verify my bank details, so I went and changed my bank details because the previous account was inactive. I did that on Saturday, and if I check the status on eFiling it says bank details status processing. How long does the processing take and when can I get my refund because I was told that it only takes 48 hours?

It is 48 working hours so work days not the weekend, everything should be done by Wednesday.
