Postbank extends use of SASSA gold cards for 2 more months
This means beneficiaries will still be able to use their gold cards in April and May.
JOHANNESBURG - Postbank has extended the usage of SASSA gold cards for another two months.
This means beneficiaries will still be able to use their gold cards in April and May.
They were given until 20 March to switch to the Postbank black card.
The announcement was made during a Postbank media briefing on Friday.
Postbank CEO Nikki Mbengashe added that approximately 1.3 million of the total 2.6 million beneficiaries were able to switch to the black cards so far.
"It is quite important as well to note that the usage of the card and how it works remains the same. People can use this card across all retailers, it doesn't matter whether it's a partner retailer or not a partner retailer, you can use it to swipe, to make purchases. We do have, of course, our partner retailers that accommodate our grant beneficiaries during the payment run, so we do encourage you to use them."
