THE Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank) and SSS, through its partnership on the Unified Multi-Purpose Identification (UMID) pay card, a seamless digital bridge between government services and online banking, recently rewarded a lucky SSS member and cardholder with an early holiday gift.

At the conclusion of the AsenSSSo raffle promo that previously had weekly draws awarding brand-new Yamaha NMax Motorcycles to fortunate UMID pay card holders, a software engineer from Taguig City was awarded the grand prize — a Nissan Navara pickup truck.

Twenty-nine-year-old SSS UMID pay cardholder Joseph Niel Tuazon collected his prize at a turnover and awarding ceremony at the SSS main office in Quezon City.

Tuazon is a frequent user of the SSS UMID Pay Card to transfer money, pay bills, and do other online transactions in UnionBank's primary retail app UB Online.

Tuazon wanted to upgrade his old UMID card and applied for the new UnionBank SSS UMID pay card, which requires a maintaining balance of only P2,000.

The awarding ceremony was attended by representatives from both organizations.

Representing SSS were then-commissioner and now-OIC and UnionBank director Robert Joseph de Claro, EVP Elvira Alcantara-Resare and SVP Normita Doctor, while UnionBank had Corporate Banking Group head Chett Bernad, Consumer Retail Marketing head Kenneth Mariano, and Product Management lead Mikey Tang witnessed the turnover.

UnionBank was also recently awarded by SSS as its "Best Collecting Partner" in the Universal Bank category.
