The Unified Multi-Purpose Identification Card (UMID Card) is one of the primary valid IDs in the Philippines which serves as a single card that Filipinos can use to transact with different government agencies. These agencies include the Philippine Social Security System (SSS), Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG Fund.
Now, SSS members may acquire the UMID ATM Pay Card through UnionBank Philippines. This card will serve as an all-in-one identification and debit card, which will be linked to a UnionBank regular savings account with no required maintaining balance.
UMID ATM Pay card holders may perform these transactions and more through UnionBank’s branches, self-service machines, and mobile banking platforms.
