JOHANNESBURG - Less than 39 days remain for SASSA gold card beneficiaries to switch to the new Postbank Black Card before the 31 August deadline.
Beneficiaries who fail to migrate risk disruptions to their social grant payments.
This as the gold cards will be phased out and will no longer be accepted after the deadline.
According to Postbank spokesperson Bongani Diako, necessary resources to support beneficiaries during the card migration programme have been put in place.

However, he said the success of the programme also depends on beneficiaries taking advantage of the time that remains and ensuring that they replace their cards from our sites as soon as possible.
"Beneficiaries are strongly encouraged not to wait until the August payment dates, or final days of the migration period, to switch their cards to avoid last-minute queue congestion at our service points and ensure a seamless transition," Diako added.
