Postbank has confirmed that its master services agreement with the Sassa remains firmly in place, providing certainty to millions of social grant beneficiaries across the country.

In a statement on Tuesday, the bank stated that the agreement would continue unchanged until an inter-ministerial committee had been constituted and deliberated on the matter.

“This brings certainty and reassurance to millions of social grant beneficiaries, who will continue to use their Postbank black cards and Sassa gold cards with confidence, enjoying uninterrupted access to their grants and associated banking benefits,” the statement read.

Postbank emphasised its commitment to protecting the interests of beneficiaries, ensuring they continue to receive their social grants, an essential part of SA’s constitutional promise of social protection for all citizens, and it would continue to safeguard beneficiaries’ welfare by providing dignified, safe and reliable banking services.
