Beneficiaries have been warned that only two payment cycles remain before SASSA Gold Cards become invalid, with Postbank confirming that the replacement deadline will not be extended.
Beneficiaries of social grants are urged to replace their SASSA Gold Cards with Postbank Black Cards before the 31 August 2026 deadline to ensure uninterrupted access to payments.
Postbank warned that only two payment cycles remain before the transition deadline and said the cut-off date would not be extended.
It cautioned that beneficiaries who delay the replacement process could face difficulties accessing their grant payments closer to the deadline, IOL reported.
''Failure to replace the SASSA Gold Cards before the deadline may result in beneficiaries being unable to access their social grant payments using the old cards.''
