#SSS RCBC umid pay cards

The Social Security System (SSS) and the Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) have recently signed a pact to make every SSS member part of the financial system through the Unified Multi-Purpose Identification (UMID) Pay Card at the SSS Main Office in Quezon City. Regino has said that RCBC will begin issuing UMID Pay Cards to SSS Members by Q1 of 2023. Regino, SSS President, and CEO The problem the UMID Pay Card attempts to solve is that most Filipinos do not have a bank account due to the lack of identification requirements like a valid ID or enough money to open a bank account. The UMID Pay Card bank account will also require no starting and maintaining balance and shall be the default disbursement account where proceeds of one's SSS benefits and loans be credited. Through the UMID Pay Card, SSS members can check their balance, withdraw cash, transfer funds, pay bills, or deposit cash through RCBC branches, ATMS, and online banking facilities. We are hoping that with this union which are only IDs will already have their UMID Pay Cards,” -- Michael G. Regino, SSS President, and CEO Moreover, both the SSS and RCBC have signed the Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement and Data Sharing Agreements to protect the biometric data and personal information of SSS members using the UMID Pay Cards.
