Postbank says more than 280,000 South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) beneficiaries are still using Gold Cards and need to switch to Black Cards before an August 31 deadline. The bank warns that delays in completing the changeover could disrupt beneficiaries’ access to grant payments.
Postbank’s call is directed at beneficiaries who have not yet made the card migration from Gold Cards to Black Cards. The statement highlights the importance of meeting the cut-off date so that grant payments can continue through the appropriate card system.
Across the reporting provided, the central message is that a remaining group of beneficiaries has not completed the required switch, and Postbank is urging them to act promptly. The bank frames the issue as time-sensitive due to the approaching deadline and the potential impact on receipt of social grants.
