The Social Security System (SSS) and the Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank) have announced the launch of the MySSS Card, a new innovation designed to provide millions of Filipinos with a single, powerful tool for both government transactions and financial services.



The MySSS Card is a two-in-one product that functions as an official SSS-recognized ID while also serving as a UnionBank-powered Visa debit card. This landmark partnership aims to accelerate digital inclusion and provide a secure, convenient way for SSS members to manage their finances, especially for those who are unbanked.



"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."



The card enables SSS members to receive their benefits, loans, and refunds directly into a UnionBank savings account. Applicants can request the MySSS Card via the UnionBank Online app, which provides access to a full suite of digital banking features and the ability to make worldwide Visa transactions.



The initiative is expected to have a broad impact, with over 40 million Filipinos holding a PhilSys ID now eligible for the MySSS Card. This new offering builds on a previous SSS-UnionBank partnership that has already issued hundreds of thousands of cards since October 2022.



Ana Aboitiz Delgado, President and CEO of UnionBank, described the collaboration as a "game-changer" in reshaping the Philippine banking landscape. “Together with SSS, we are once again reimagining what banking can be like for millions of Filipinos,” she said. “We are proud to be partners in this initiative that enhances financial inclusion.”

The MySSS Card is set to roll out soon, promising a faster, safer, and smarter way for members to manage their government-related and financial transactions. Members are encouraged to stay tuned for the official release and monitor updates through UnionBank's official channels.
