SSS Umid card with UnionBank

In case you missed it, Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank) has collaborated with the Social Security System (SSS) to launch the new UnionBank SSS UMID ATM Pay Card, which serves as both a government-issued ID card and an ATM card linked to a UnionBank savings account.

Since its introduction, many qualified SSS members have upgraded to a UnionBank SSS UMID ATM Pay Card and are now reaping the benefits. "I tried to apply the same day I noticed the SSS post [about the card] on Facebook," Kenneth Sulmayor, a 32-year-old business owner, said. "I went to my My.SSS account, shared my consent, downloaded the UnionBank app and applied. After that, I received an email confirmation that my application was successful. “It’s very easy, since the instructions on how to get the Pay Card are clear on the app,” shared 38-year-old call center agent, Ryan Abouelo. “UnionBank’s app is also easy to navigate.”

SSS members should anticipate their upgraded UMID cards to arrive sooner. Sulmayor received his UnionBank SSS UMID ATM Pay Card about 15 banking days after applying on the UnionBank app, whereas Abouelo received his within two weeks. UnionBank also ensures that the cards are distributed in a safe and secure manner. "[The courier] is pretty stringent; they will not release the card if the owner is not present to receive it," Sulmayor explained. "Even then, they asked for my ID to check. There was not any hassle."

Holders can also use their UnionBank SSS UMID ATM Pay Card in a variety of ways. One SSS member, a 23-year-old HR officer, related her friend's upgrade experience.
