The Social Security System (SSS) and UnionDigital Bank are poised to forge a transformative partnership aimed at significantly improving service delivery and accelerating the digitalization efforts for millions of SSS members, particularly Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).
SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Joseph Montes De Claro hosted UnionDigital Bank President and CEO Danilo “Bong” J. Mojica II for a productive courtesy visit at the SSS Main Office on May 30, 2025. The high-level meeting centered on exploring concrete collaboration opportunities to benefit SSS members.
During the discussion, SSS President De Claro announced that SSS has agreed in principle to coordinate and work with UnionDigital Bank on several key initiatives. These include the development and implementation of a micro-lending program for SSS members with a flexible 15- to 90-day tenor, streamlining transactions for OFWs, and facilitating technology transfer as SSS continues its comprehensive digitalization journey.
“Through our partnership with UnionDigital Bank, we look forward to further enhancing service delivery to all Filipino workers, service being our main thrust under this administration,” stated De Claro. He added, “A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) shall be prepared toward this goal.”
UnionDigital Bank President and CEO Mojica reciprocated the enthusiasm, expressing the bank’s commitment to close collaboration. “UnionDigital Bank fully supports SSS in its digitalization and service delivery efforts and commits to cooperating in any way to achieve these goals,” Mojica affirmed.
This strategic meeting underscores the earnest efforts of both the SSS and UnionDigital Bank to team up with innovative companies and platforms. The overarching goal is to significantly improve online services for millions of SSS members, with a particular focus on making transactions more accessible and efficient for the vital community of Overseas Filipino Workers.
This prospective partnership signals a significant step forward in SSS’s commitment to modernizing its services and ensuring financial inclusivity for all its members.
