Important Update for Postbank Gold Card Holders!
The Department of Social Development has issued an urgent warning to SASSA-Postbank gold card holders. The SASSA-Postbank Master Service Agreement will end in December 2025. If you are one of the over 400,000 gold card holders who have yet to migrate your payments to commercial banks, it's crucial to do so now to avoid any disruptions in receiving your grant.
