You may now apply for a UMID ATM Pay Card or have your existing one upgraded for free. Here’s how:

  1. Login to your My.SSS account
  2. Click on the Services tab
  3. Agree to share your information with UnionBank
  4. Download the UnionBank banking app and fill-out the online form.

This is open to all SSS members who applied for the generic UMID card and those who have yet to receive their UMID cards. Upgrading to the new ATM pay card is free of charge.

According to the SSS Facebook page, the UMID ATM Pay Card is an ID and a debit all-in-one card. Member card-holders may receive their claims, loan proceeds, and refunds (from SSS) directly through this ATM card. It may also be used to make cashless payments at retail and online stores, and make online bank transfers.

      Madali lang mag apply for a UMID card and getting one is free of charge. It has security features similar with the new Phlpost ID. Kung GSIS member ka, mas madaling mag apply ng loan at mag check ng account through GWAPS kiosk gamit ang UMID because all you need to do is tap the card on UMID-compliant GWAPS machine to begin transacting!

      Government and private employees, self-employed individuals, and OFWs are encouraged to apply for a UMID card.

      Here’s how:

      If you are a government employee, apply at the GSIS Enrollment Center.

Kung hindi mo ito matatanggap within the said period, maaari kang mag inquire sa pinakamalapit na SSS branch o sa GSIS office kung saan ka nag apply.
      Kung ikaw ay GSIS member o pensioner at may eCard Plus ka na, required ka pa din kumuha ng UMID card. If you are a pensioner, your UMID card will be delivered to your home address. If you are a GSIS member, your UMID will be delivered to you by your Agency Liaison Officer.
