No more cash, how to switch to your SASSA gold card?

by

SASSA grant recipients can now choose to receive payments on a SASSA gold card (via Postbank) or their personal bank accounts. If you’re among those switching from Postbank, here’s what you need to do following recent news.

After the news we reported on earlier this week that Postbank is phasing out cash payments at Post Office branches in 2024, hundreds of thousands of affected recipients will now need to secure their accounts.

Switching from Postbank might be the best option for SASSA recipients in the long run. Monthly delays and issues with cash delivery to Post Offices prompted this decision, according to GroundUp.

HERE IS HOW TO SWITCH TO YOUR SASSA GOLD CARD

  • Make sure the personal bank account you want your SASSA grant paid into is in your NAME.
  • Download the Consent Form for Bank Payment HERE.
  • Complete in full and sign and date it at the bottom.
  • Go to a SASSA branch with your completed form, proof of identity (ID document/birth certificate/driver’s license).
  • You will also need a proof of bank account in your NAME. This can be a three-month’s bank statement certified by your bank.
  • Once accepted, your next SASSA grant payment will be paid into your bank account.

Please note that SASSA recipients can switch from Postbank at any time, but this does not apply to the SASSA R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant which follows a different system.
