POSTBANK RESTORES SASSA PAYMENTS SERVICES

Pretoria: The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) acknowledges notice from the PostBank regarding resumption of payment withdrawals or transactions following technical challenges experienced by social grant clients on payment days of the 05 and 06 September 2025. Clients can now enjoy the use of the SASSA/PostBank powered cards to make purchases and payments.

Clients using the SASSA/PostBank powered cards could not make withdrawals or transact at ATMs and various retailers (other than PostBank Points of Sale), even though SASSA had made deposit of funds into the accounts of the beneficiaries. The technical challenges only affected clients who were using the SASSA/PostBank powered Card. Other clients, who were receiving grants at various Cash Pay-Points or other private banks (except Post Bank) were not affected and were able to withdraw their benefits with ease.

SASSA clients can make use of the alternative methods of payment available to receive their grants through various banks or retailers.
