Postbank urges grant beneficiaries to migrate to black cards before deadline.

Postbank says social grant beneficiaries have less than five days to migrate from SASSA gold cards to black cards before the 31 August deadline. More than 1.8 million beneficiaries have already migrated, while fewer than 80,000 still need to do so. Postbank says the deadline will not be extended. Beneficiaries can migrate for free at selected retailers, including Shoprite, Checkers, Pick n Pay, Boxer and Spar. They need only a valid ID or temporary ID. Funds will remain in their accounts, but beneficiaries must migrate before accessing them. Thami Cele is the Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) at Postbank
