PICK N PAY AND BOXER BECOME FIRST RETAILERS AS COLLECTION POINTS FOR R350 GRANTS

RETAILERS Pick n Pay and Boxer have announced that approved recipients of the R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant can now collect their benefits from Pick n Pay and Boxer stores nationwide from today. This move makes Pick n Pay and Boxer the first retailers to become a collection point for the SRD grant. Pick n Pay retail executive: Omnichannel John Bradshaw said: “Pick n Pay and Boxer are proud to assist grant beneficiaries to access their funds more conveniently and safely.” Beneficiaries will never be asked to enter personal information on their cellphones or to click on a link. The retailers said beneficiaries should note that Pick n Pay and Boxer do not manage the application and approval of grant funds or when and where collections can be made. This is a process run entirely by Postbank. “Only grant recipients who have received an SMS from Sassa confirming their collection pay-out point as either Pick n Pay or Boxer can use the new collections points,” the retailers said. Pick n Pay is also a Sassa grant pay-out point. To read the full story and the step-by-step process needed to collect the SRD grant, go to: https://www. iol.co.za/business-report
