Remember these when enrolling your account in the SSS Disbursement Account Enrollment Module:

For bank accounts, enroll your bank account number, not your card number.

Do not enter special characters like - or spaces.

For e-money like Paymaya, enter your phone number in this format -->  09185128764

Make sure na tama yong pinili mo na bank. Yong iba, napipili nila yong BDO Network Bank, imbes na BDO Unibank.

      Ang BDO Network Bank ay rural bank na pag-aari ng BDO Unibank.

For pensions and maternity benefits, do not use e-wallets, e-money cards or cash cards. Why? Because these have maximum balance limits. Usually they can contain only up to 100,000 pesos only. Paano kung more than 100k yong lump sum mo? Paano kung 70k yong maternity benefit mo?

New Tips!!!

For proof of account, upload a scan or photo of your latest deposit slip. Yong merong marks ng teller machine, merong proof na nag-deposit ka at proof na active ang account mo. Dapat clear yong bank name, account name and account number.

Does SSS accept e-money cards or cash cards?

Yes, but only these cards:

DBP Cash Padala Thru MLhuillier

DCPay Philippines

Paymaya (Make sure your Paymaya account is verified and upgraded)

          (How to upgrade your Paymaya account)

Union Bank Quick Card 

* Again, do not use these cards if you are expecting to receive more than their maximum balance limits.

Puede ba ang SSS UMID card?

Yes, you can use your SSS UMID card as your ATM card, but you need first to activate your UMID card at Union Bank kiosks at SSS branches in:

Diliman
Manila
Buendia
Pioneer
Baguio
Cebu
Davao

*Note: Wala sa list sa itaas ang SSS UMID card kasi hindi required na i-enroll mo ang SSS UMID card mo sa Disbursement Account Enrollment Module sa online SSS account mo.

I Like to open a bank account with only 100 pesos as initial deposit and maintaining balance. What do I present to the bank so that they won't require me to make an initial deposit of 2,000 or 3,000 pesos?

Present a Letter of Introduction (LOI) from SSS. Humingi ka ng LOI from SSS. Pero bago ka nila bigyan, sisiguraduhin muna nila na meron ka talagang kukuning benefit sa SSS, so bring your SSS benefit claim acknowledgment slip, or photocopies of your claim documents. 

I already have an existing ATM account. Can I use it to receive my sickness or maternity benefit?

Yes, puede sa mga minsanang claim, like sickness or maternity benefit or loan proceeds.

Pero kapag SSS pension, gusto ng SSS ang separate bank account. Gusto nila na hindi maisturbo ang iyong account kapag merong changes sa regular accounts dahil halimbawa sa closure of account due to non-maintenance of account.

Sa experience ng mga kilala ko, kung gusto nio ang Landbank account for your SSS pension, Landbank requires an LOI from SSS. Ayaw nila na mag-open ka ng regular savings account for your SSS pension (halimbawa ayaw mo nang pumila for an LOI at gusto mo na lang mag-maintain ng regular account).

Meron ding other banks that require an LOI from SSS, lalo na kung gamitin for SSS pension. 

If you decide to open your own account and not use an LOI from SSS, which banks offer the lowest amount of initial deposit and maintaining-balance requirement?

Easi-Save Basic account -- no maintaining balance -- 100 pesos opening fee -- offered by China Savings Bank
Regular ATM savings account -- 1,000-peso maintaining balance -- offered by BPI Family Savings Bank (Huwag na ito, kasi magme-merge na ang BPI at BPI Family)

If you're near these rural banks, their maintaining-balance requirements are lesser than the commercial or thrift banks:
BDO Network Bank

Camalig Bank Inc. (A Rural Bank)

Cebuana Lhuillier Bank (A Rural Bank)

East West Rural Bank Inc.

See if the rural bank near your residence is in the list above.
