Opisyal nang ini-launch ng Social Security System (SSS) ang MySSS Card noong October 1, 2025.
Ang launching ay ini-announce ng ahensiya sa official website nito.
Ang design ng MySSS card ay base sa kung paano maa-access ng Filipino workers, pensioners, at beneficiaries nila ang kanilang social security benefits and financial services.
Sinabi ni SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Joseph Montes De Claro na may dalawang purpose ang MySSS Card.
Una, magsisilbi itong official ID kapalit ng Unified Multi-Purpose Identification (UMID) card.
Isa rin itong fully functional debit card na naka-link sa savings account.

MYSSS CARD FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
Ang MySSS Card ay equipped ng EMV (Europay, Mastercard, and Visa) chip.
Naka-integrate ito sa Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) eVerify and biometric authentication.
Nagkakaloob ito ng ligtas at convenient na paraan para sa SSS members na ma-access ang kanilang benefits and loans, gayundin kung paano i-manage ang kanilang daily financial transactions.
Ipinaliwanag din ni De Claro na ang MySSS Card ay nagme-merge sa social security benefits sa digital banking.
Dahil dito, maraming paraan para sa SSS member kung paano maa-access ang benefits, loans, and pensions nang mas mabilis at convenient.
Magagamit din ang MySSS Card sa shopping, public transport fares, and online purchases.

MYSSS CARD EXCLUSIVE TO SSS PARTNER BANKS
Ang issuance ng MySSS Card ay exclusive lang sa SSS partner banks.
Sisimulan ito sa Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC).
Magiging partner banks din ang Asia United Bank (AUB), China Bank, at Union Bank of the Philippines.
Ani Castro, ang MySSS Card ay awtomatikong magiging main disbursement account para sa SSS members.
“Once members apply for the MySSS Card, we will link their partner bank savings accounts to SSS for benefits, loans, and other proceeds.
“They no longer need to enroll the MySSS Card in the Disbursement Account Enrollment Module (DAEM).”

SSS MEMBERS MAY OPEN BANK ACCOUNT VIA ONLINE OR THROUGH PARTNER BANKS' BRANCH
Ang MySSS Card application ay simple at maaaring makumpleto via My.SSS Portal.
Paalala ni De Claro: “Members choose their partner bank—initially RCBC—and consent to data sharing between SSS, the National ID system, and the bank.”
Matapos ang online verification and identity confirmation, ang members ay maaaring mag-open ng bank account alinman sa pamamagitan ng kanilang online app o pagpunta mismo sa branch ng banko.
Sa RCBC, halimbawa, ang members ay maaaring gamitin ang DiskarTech app para makapag-open ng account.
Ang SSS partner bank ang magpo-produce at magdi-distribute ng MySSS Card.
Para sa mga taga-Metro Manila, matatanggap ang card sa loob ng 15 working days.
Ang mga taga-probinsiya ay matatanggap naman ito sa loob ng 20 working days.
