MySSS Card debit feature lets members access benefits and payments easily
The Social Security System (SSS) has introduced the new MySSS Card, a two-in-one ID and debit card that offers convenience for millions of Filipino members.
The card officially launched on October 1 and is now open for online applications. It serves as an SSS ID for transactions and doubles as a debit card to receive benefits, loans, and pensions directly.
RCBC is the first partner bank for this initiative, with more banks expected to join soon. Members can use the MySSS Card to withdraw cash, shop in stores, pay online, or even cover transportation fares.
While the existing UMID cards remain valid, the MySSS Card will eventually replace them. It comes with a security chip and integrates with the National ID system and biometrics for safer verification and to prevent fraud.
How to apply for the MySSS Card:
- Log in to your My.SSS account or register at the official portal.
- Go to “Services” and choose “MySSS Card.”
- Review and update your personal details.
- Give consent for identity verification through the National ID and facial scan.
- Select RCBC as your bank partner.
- Agree to the terms and authorize data sharing.
- Complete the process through the bank app or branch and pay the required fee.
Applicants may also choose delivery service for an additional charge. RCBC will notify members when their card is ready.
Processing takes up to 15 working days in Metro Manila and up to 20 days in other regions.
Once activated, the MySSS Card will automatically receive all future benefits and payments.
