After November 30, the GSIS will submit all applications to LandBank for the printing of the LandBank-issued UMID eCard.
It may be recalled that beginning August of this year, the more than 1.4 million members may already choose to have their loan proceeds and other benefits credited to a UMID (Unified Multi-Purpose Identification) eCard issued by the Land Bank of the Philippines.
By choosing LandBank as servicing bank, GSIS members would be able to benefit from LANDBANK’S wide network covering 327 branches and more than 900 ATMs nationwide, Manager Fuentes said.
With a LandBank-issued UMID eCard, members may withdraw their loan proceeds and other benefits in any Expressnet, Bancnet or Megalink ATM nationwide.
LandBank-issued UMID eCards also serve as a debit card in more than 20,000 accredited merchants nationwide and as a discount card for GSIS corporate partners such as Pfizer and STI. The card is free with no maintaining balance required for members transferring to LandBank.
Ms. Ana Marie Macuja disclosed that at the GSIS website www.gsis.gov.ph, log on to the eCard member transaction page and click the CHOOSE LANDBANK AS YOUR SERVICING BANK icon.
They can also email their name, date of birth and UMID Common Reference Number (CRN) to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., or visit the nearest GSIS Field Office, Ms. Macuja added.
The GSIS renewed its partnership with LANDBANK in December last year, to give its more than 300,000 pensioners the choice to receive their monthly pension and other benefits through a LANDBANK ATM or thru their eCard.
The renewed partnership with LANDBANK makes it easier for the members and pensioners, especially in the provinces to access their benefits and other loans.
For its part, LandBank said that as a partner of the GSIS in delivering improved service to its members especially in the rural areas, it shares the commitment of the new GSIS leadership to provide excellent service for its stakeholders.
