Postbank tells SASSA beneficiaries who use SASSA Gold Cards to switch to new cards before 31 August. The deadline relates to accessing grant payments through Postbank systems tied to the card type.

According to the outlets, Postbank states that beneficiaries who miss the 31 August cut-off will not lose their grants. Instead, they must complete the migration process before they can access their funds. Postbank also urges people to act promptly because the window to switch is short, framing the deadline as necessary for continued access to payments.

One outlet highlights the urgency by noting the number of beneficiaries affected and encouraging them to migrate ahead of the deadline, while another focuses on what happens if beneficiaries miss the cut-off. Both accounts point to continued grant eligibility but conditional access to funds after the deadline pending card migration.
