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 avail of the offer now so they can enjoy an
easy and convenient way to receive their SSS proceeds.
Announced a few months ago, 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 may avail of the UnionBank SSS
UMID ATM Pay Card upgrade for free. To let them know about the upgrade option,
SSS also sent invitations to qualified members via email, so they may want to
check their email. The upgrade will be available to all SSS members applying
for the UMID card eventually.
Qualified members may upgrade their card by logging 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.
Upgrading to the UnionBank SSS UMID ATM Pay Card comes with a few
perks. 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.
Because the card is linked to a UnionBank account, users will be
able to enjoy fully-featured ATM transactions, as well as digital banking
services and advanced features like financial goal setting and payment requests
via the UnionBank Online app.
UnionBank has been a long-time partner of the government in the
issuance of two-in-one ID and pay cards that have benefited countless Filipinos
over the years, and the new UnionBank SSS UMID ATM Pay Card is just one of the
many innovative offers that have come from its partnerships with government
agencies like the SSS and the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), to
name a few.
