The Postbank had to replace about 12 million bank cards at a cost of R1 billion after a major security breach.
The breach exposed the personal data of millions of social grant beneficiaries and other account holders.
The breach resulted from the printing of the bank's encrypted master key in plain, unencrypted digital language at Postbank's old data center in the Pretoria city center.
The master key was then stolen by employees.
