New Postbank cards for social grant beneficiaries
Postbank has replaced Cash Paymaster Services in providing electronic payment solutions to SASSA for social grants, and SAPO and SASSA are making it easy for grant beneficiaries to get a new card free of charge. The new card is said to offer more benefits to recipients and to reduce unfair deductions, and the replacement process is planned to be concluded by August 2018.
The Minister said SAPO and SASSA will make it easy for beneficiaries to obtain new cards free of charge at pay points as well as SAPO and SASSA offices.
