Looking Forward To 2010

There is certainly much to look forward to this year – the implementation of GSIS e-card payout system and the SSS-Philpost Unified Multipurpose ID system, among them.

Comes the implementation of the GSIS e-card payout system, GSIS e-card holders may no longer queue in front of Unionbank’s ATMachines, but flock instead to any capital post office in Region 6 (Iloilo City Post Office, Bacolod City Post Office in Negros Occidental, Roxas City Post Office in Capiz, Kalibo Post Office in Aklan, and San Jose Post Office in Antique) and other big post offices like San Carlos City and Cadiz City post offices (both in Negros Occidental) to withdraw their money or make balance inquiries. This project is seen to favor especially those in the provinces as they no longer have to travel far and wide just to get to the nearest UnionBank branch.

Meanwhile, SSS and Philpost has signed a Memorandum of Agreement on the integration of the SSS Unified Multipurpose Identification System (UMID) to the benefits of the Postal ID. Simply put, the UMID card will enable SSS members to get payments for pensions, loans and benefits through PhilPost’s nationwide network of about 2,200 post offices.
