SSS members with pending UMID ID releases may avail of free upgrade online
Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank) is reminding members of the Social Security System (SSS) who are qualified for a free upgrade to the UnionBank SSS UMID ATM Pay Card to take advantage of the offer so they can enjoy an easy and convenient way to receive their SSS proceeds.
The UnionBank SSS UMID ATM Pay Card is a government-issued ID card and fully functional ATM card that is linked to a UnionBank savings account, where SSS members can receive the proceeds of their benefits, loans, and refunds. The savings account doesn’t require maintaining balance.
SSS members who are registered on My.SSS and have applied for the standard UMID card but have not received it yet can upgrade to the UnionBank SSS UMID ATM Pay Card for free. To inform qualified members of the upgrade option, SSS also sent invitations via email, so they should check their email. The upgrade will be available to all SSS members applying for the UMID card eventually.
To upgrade their card, qualified members must log in to their My.SSS account, or register if they haven’t yet. They will then need to go to the “E-Services” tab, access the “Data Sharing Consent for UMID Pay Card” option, and give their consent to share their information with UnionBank. Next, they must download the UnionBank Online app, which is available on the Google Play Store, Apple App Store, and Huawei AppGallery. They can also visit https://www.unionbankph.com/unionbankonline and or scan the download QR code.
On the app, they need to select the “Open an Account” option, choose “Government ID,” click “SSS UMID Pay Card Account,” and then click “Agree to the Terms & Conditions and Data Privacy Consent” to continue. After making sure that their SSS information is updated and correct, they will need to complete the form to open their savings account. More details are available at https://www.unionbankph.com/sss-umid.
Once the free upgrade is completed, funding the account with a minimum of PHP1,000 entitles the owner to a free Jollibee eGC worth P200 and a chance to win a brand-new Mitsubishi Xpander GLS sponsored by UnionBank. Account holders must fund their account on or before Feb 28, 2023 to enjoy these perks.
