Sassa gold cards are set to expire at the end of May 2024. While these cards remain valid for the April and May 2024 payment cycles, beneficiaries will need to update their payment method before the June 2024 grant disbursement.
Postbank Black Card Offers Enhanced Security
Sassa has encouraged recipients to switch to a new Postbank black card, which features several upgrades, including enhanced security.
However, beneficiaries who do not wish to transition to the black card have another payment option available.
Alternative Option to the Postbank Black Card
Sassa confirmed that beneficiaries may have their grants paid directly into their personal bank accounts as an alternative.
Clients can also choose to have their social grant paid directly into their personal bank account.
To make this change, individuals must visit their nearest Sassa office.
Clients who wish to have their social grant paid directly into their personal bank account can visit their nearest Sassa Local Office.
