SASSA Gold Cards: A Vital Update for Users
Rest assured, South Africa’s Social Security Agency, SASSA, has proclaimed that beneficiaries can continue to use their existing Gold Cards for transactions until further notice.
This assures millions of SASSA grant beneficiaries that they will not have to change their SASSA Gold Cards and can reliably collect their grants, despite previous concerns regarding their validity.
SASSA Gold Cards Remain Valid Beyond 2024
Good news for grant recipients – The well-received SASSA Gold Cards will continue to be valid, even in the year 2024. This announcement was initially made by Postbank, which confirmed that the gold cards will not expire and will remain functioning for grant payments well into the future.
Is the Old Sassa Card Still Valid?
Yes, indeed! Your old SASSA card remains valid. This means that millions of social grants beneficiaries do not need to switch their SASSA Gold Cards to other bank cards to continue receiving their grants.
Important Notice for R350 Reapplication in 2024
Last year, cardholders were advised to renew their cards by December 31st. However, this is no longer necessary as your old SASSA Gold Card remains functional.
In this regard, Dr Bongani Diako, a spokesperson for Postbank, urged state grant recipients to disregard any misleading information that suggests they need to switch to other banks as he confirmed that the old gold cards are not being replaced.
Postbank has remained committed to ensuring that millions of beneficiaries receive their social grants on time and without delay.
Beneficiaries remain unimpeded in their withdrawals
Dr Bongani Diako also emphasized that grant recipients could freely use their cards to withdraw money from a vast network of the country’s ATMs and well-known retailers such as Shoprite, Checkers, Pick n Pay, Spar, Usave, and Boxer.
