SSS rolls out EMV-equipped MySSS Card
The Social Security System (SSS) has introduced a new EMV-enabled MySSS card that functions as a debit card for loan disbursement and a valid ID.
This new MySSS card is designed to expedite loan processing for SSS members.
It also serves as a replacement for the UMID card and is integrated with the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) eVerify and biometric authentication.
SSS members interested in obtaining the card must have an active My.SSS Portal account with updated information and be registered with the National ID system.
Applications are processed online through the My.SSS portal, requiring consent for data sharing among SSS, the National ID system, and partner banks.
RCBC is the initial partner bank, with AUB, China Bank, and Union Bank of the Philippines set to join soon.
After online verification and identity confirmation, members open a bank account with the partner bank, which then issues and distributes the cards.
Card delivery is expected within 15 working days for Metro Manila residents and 20 working days for those outside Metro Manila.
