MANILA, June 3 ------ The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) launched the GSIS Digital ID, marking a significant step in its journey to digital transformation. The launch was made simultaneously with the state pension fund's 87th anniversary with the theme, "GSIS @87: Kabalikat sa Bagong Pilipinas."
GSIS President and General Manager Wick Veloso said the enhancement is “another leap” in the pension fund’s efforts to automate processes, streamline services, and improve customer experience for members and pensioners. "The GSIS continuously strives to stay ahead and make it safer and more convenient for government workers to transact. We are not just launching a digital ID – this signals a new era where our members and pensioners can fully access our services easily through their smartphones,” Veloso said. “The launch of the GSIS Digital ID aligns with the Bagong Pilipinas Strategy of the administration, with the GSIS as a key partner in implementing robust measures to develop innovative solutions, driving progress and sustainable development for our country.” Veloso added.
The GSIS Digital ID is integrated into the GSIS Touch mobile app, allowing registered users to access their digital ID for identity authentication, enhancing efficiency, security, and avoiding fraud. As of December 2023, 97 percent of GSIS loan transactions were processed electronically, demonstrating the organization's commitment to convenience and accessibility.
In April 2024, GSIS discontinued the production of Unified Multipurpose Identification (UMID) cards and eCards, transitioning to automated teller machine (ATM) cards from chosen banks for new enrollees.
