IF YOU’RE an overseas Filipino worker (OFW), self-employed, or voluntary member, there is now an easy, fast, and secure way for you to pay or remit your Social Security System (SSS) contributions online. That is through your PayMaya smartphone app.
Recently, the state-run pension fund inked partnership with PayMaya as part of the government initiatives to ease doing business with the private sector and streamline services, hence allowing more avenues for online transactions.
PayMaya (a subsidiary brand of PLDT and Smart Communications and regulated by the Central Bank of the Philippines) is a free smartphone app available on iOS and Android that provides a prepaid virtual Visa or MasterCard and can be used to make online payment at almost the same convenience that a regular credit card offers.
