Financial technology player PayMaya has enabled members of the Social Security System (SSS) to receive their claim proceeds through their PayMaya e-wallets.
SSS members need only to link their PayMaya accounts through the member portal.
With this, SSS funeral and unemployment benefits, among others, may be coursed through the member’s PayMaya account. Soon, members may also receive their calamity, salary, and other loan proceeds via PayMaya.
“SSS has been one of the leading government agencies aggressively implementing digitalization of their services, and we’re glad to enable them with our end-to-end digital platforms so that their members can conveniently and safely transact with them wherever they are,” PayMaya CEO Orlando B. Vea said.
Aurora Cruz-Ignacio, president of SSS, said this is part of her group’s efforts to migrate to a “checkless” disbursement process and completely electronic way to distribute funds and other proceeds to their members. She added that this is in response to the growing need to go digital and practice physical distancing given the current public health situation.
