The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) was founded in 2005 and since then, it has continued to make use of technology to improve its services and save grant beneficiaries a lot of stress. One of the biggest innovations of the SASSA Scheme is the introduction of the SASSA card.<\/p>\n
Just like your regular bank Visa or MasterCard, SASSA has a card with which beneficiaries of the monthly grants can withdraw their money at any ATM or withdrawal point. This card works in a very similar way as your bank card and is very easy to make use of. The card allows its users to perform a good number of services. As a beneficiary of the SASSA grant, it is important that you get to know all the other transactions you can perform with your card other than cash withdrawal.<\/p>\n
In 2018, the government announced the introduction of a new SASSA Grant Card with which beneficiaries could now withdraw their cash. This card was to replace the Green cards issued by Net1 and the Cash Paymaster Services card. The SASSA Grant card is issued by the South African Post Office and was introduced as a means of tracking fraudulent debit transactions.<\/p>\n
