The Social Security System (SSS) and Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank) have announced the development of the MySSS Card, a groundbreaking 2-in-1 solution that combines an SSS issued functional ID with a UnionBank-powered Visa debit card. This new offering builds on the success of a previous card partnership that saw hundreds of thousands of cards issued since the initial rollout in October 2022.
“This partnership marks a major step forward in making government services more accessible and efficient for our members,” said Robert Joseph M. De Claro, President and CEO of SSS. “The MySSS Card empowers our members with a secure and convenient way to receive their benefits, while also serving as an official SSS-recognized ID.”
Once available, the MySSS Card provides members an even more secure and convenient way to receive their SSS benefits, loans, and refunds directly through a UnionBank savings account. Through a simple online application via the UnionBank Online app, an SSS member will be able to access a Visa debit card that supports worldwide transactions, digital payments, and mobile banking.
“Together with SSS, we are once again reimagining what banking can be like for millions of Filipinos.” said Ana Aboitiz Delgado, President and CEO of UnionBank, “This new product will allow SSS members with a Philsys ID to get a MYSSS card, broadening the eligible base to over 40 million Filipinos. We are proud to be partners in this initiative that enhances financial inclusion.“
The MySSS Card is designed for today’s digitally inclined Filipinos who value speed, security, and simplicity in their financial and government transactions. It reflects a shared commitment between SSS and UnionBank to make basic financial services more accessible, especially to the unbanked.
Members are encouraged to stay tuned for the official release of the MySSS Card. It is worth looking out for as the MySSS Card represents a promise of faster, safer, and smarter access to SSS member benefits through innovative government-private collaboration.
