The deadline for social grant beneficiaries to migrate to black cards has arrived on 31 August 2026. Beneficiaries operating with gold cards who fail to complete their migration by 31 August 2026 will not be able to access their social grant payments for the 2 to 7 September 2026 payment period.

Social grant payments will continue being made into their accounts, but they will be required to complete the migration process before they can gain access to the payments.
Thami Cele, Postbank Chief Commercial Officer say: “This is not the outcome we want for any our social grant beneficiaries. Our ideal is for every social grant beneficiary to be successfully migrated before the commencement of the September grant payments cycle, so that they can continue accessing payments without interruption. We therefore make a special appeal to all beneficiaries who have not yet migrated to act immediately and complete the process.”

According to Cele, Postbank understands that some social grant beneficiaries may not have been able to complete their migration by the deadline. As a result, Postbank’s card replacement sites will remain available after 31 August to assist social grant beneficiaries who have missed the deadline with completing their migration.

Beneficiaries who missed the deadline should visit their nearest Postbank card replacement site as soon as possible to receive assistance with completing the migration process and restoring access to their social grant payments.

Postbank remains committed to supporting these beneficiaries to complete their migrations and ensuring that all social grant beneficiaries operate with the black cards.
Postbank card replacement sites can be found in participating retail stores that includes Shoprite, Usave, Checkers, Spar and Pick n Pay stores. Beneficiaries can dial *120*355# from any mobile phone to locate a nearby site. The migration process is free, and beneficiaries are required an ID or a temporary to complete the migration. The cards are activated immediately, and there is no need for beneficiaries to visit a SASSA office.

For more information, beneficiaries may contact Postbank on 0800 5354 55.
