Well, you have landed on the right place, I’ll be sharing with you my recent experience on “Sassa gold card expiration”
A month ago I noticed that Sassa gold card was going to expire soon. So, being an over-cautious person I started thinking about How I get my SRD payment if it’s going to expire.
After some research, I got to know something satisfactory this time! And laughed at my overthinking habit.
Well, I got to know that SASSA has announced that card validation is extended for the new year. So, relax even if your card expires now, you can still use it for grant payments throughout the year 2024.
Postbank’s head of communication, Dr Bongani Diako, said:
“This important development means that millions of social grant beneficiaries do not have to change their SASSA gold cards to the cards of the other banks.
The extension of the SASSA gold card’s validity ensures continuity for beneficiaries, and they do not have to endure the inconvenience and expenses of changing their gold cards to other payment methods that are often costly“
“Postbank’s head of communication, Dr Bongani Diako“
But wait! Don’t you think that the precaution is better than later hardship? Thinking the same I decided to renew my Sassa card timely to secure my future payments.
