SASSA is not a bank. When your grant is paid onto a card, the money sits in a Postbank account in your name, and the black card is how you reach it. Postbank is the state-owned bank that handles grant payments. You can also choose to have your grant paid into an account at any other bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
