SASSA said that failure to do the switch could result in complications and disruptions in receiving grant money.
Head of communications at SASSA, Paseka Letsatsi, said it was important that citizens know that they are now working with Postbank.
"I just need to clarify just a small matter that people are actually migrating from a SASSA gold card to a Postbank card so if the systems are down, it is not Sassa systems. It may be systems of another entity."
