PAYMENT SAFETY TIPS
Some tips to keep yourself safe when collecting your grant:
- Check your surroundings to ensure no one is hanging around the ATM or following you.
- Check your bank balances regularly and report any wrong amounts/ deductions.
- Leave the ATM immediately after completing your transaction.
- Look out for strangers who ask you to return and finalize/ close your transaction owing to them not being able to transact (in these instances, individuals may be trying to skim your card).
- Complete your transaction carefully, taking your time to do so.
- Put away your card and cash as soon as you have received it and before leaving the ATM.
SASSA GOLD CARD
The SASSA gold card works like any regular bank card – you are able to draw money at an ATM and use your card at a till point. Grant holders should create a PIN for their gold card, to ensure their funds cannot be withdrawn if the card is lost or stolen. The SASSA gold card is approved by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB).
After SASSA social grant are paid each month, they remain on your SASSA gold card until you are ready to use the funds.
