  • Log in to your My.SSS account. Go to My.SSS Card > Services > and complete the steps that verify your personal information, doing a facial scan, and choosing your preferred partner bank.
  • Go to a branch of your preferred partner bank to complete the verification process and settle the applicable fees. Wait for the bank’s SMS or app notification when your card is ready for delivery or pickup.

The fee for getting a MySSS card will depend on your chosen bank. Failure to settle the payment within a given timeframe will result in the cancellation of the application.
