For the past two years, we have embraced the new norm of conducting personal and business transactions online. Who would have thought that shopping, paying bills, getting services, ordering food and anything you can think of is now being done online. It’s much simpler, faster, and more convenient as you can do it anytime and anywhere without leaving the safety and comfort of your home. You just need to have a stable Internet connection to do all of these things.
In line with the SSS’s digitalization initiatives to better serve our members and to minimize face-to-face interactions to prevent the spread of Covid-19, we highly encourage our members to maximize the usage of our various online channels/platforms in doing their SSS transactions.
For those who already have their existing My.SSS account, it is good to know that you are now registered in the My.SSS portal. You can continuously access your SSS records using your My.SSS username and password and check your account 24/7. You can also use the same username and password to check your account using the SSS Mobile App, which you can download for free via Google Playstore, Huawei App Gallery, and Apple App Store.For those who have not created their accounts yet, we have made the web registration guide easier.
