POSTBANK has introduced a new payment method: the Postbank black card.
This convenient and secure card will streamline the process of accessing Sassa grant funds for millions of beneficiaries across the country.
The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has partnered with Postbank to introduce a new banking solution for its beneficiaries: the Mzansi Debit Card. This card aims to provide a more convenient and accessible way for Sassa grant recipients to manage their finances.
Sassa Grants
Sassa offers various grants to support vulnerable South Africans, including:
- Older Persons pension grant

The Mzansi Debit Card is a replacement for the previous Sassa gold card. It offers a range of features, such as:
- Transaction convenience: Make payments for goods and services without cash.
- ATM and Post Office access: Withdraw funds and perform other transactions nationwide.
