QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES — Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) was recognized as the Social Security System’s (SSS) Best Digital Disbursement Partner for the fourth consecutive year at the SSS Balikat ng Bayan Awards, recognizing the bank’s continued role in delivering SSS benefits and services to members.
Through RCBC and its digital banking platform RCBC DiskarTech, SSS members receive benefit payments and access digital financial services alongside their SSS transactions.
“Being recognized by SSS for the fourth consecutive year reflects the strength of a partnership built around a common goal: making social protection and financial services more accessible to Filipinos,” said Lito Villanueva, RCBC Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation and Inclusion Officer.
“Our work with SSS has grown beyond disbursements. Together, we are using digital banking to make it easier for members to access their benefits, manage their finances and participate more fully in the digital economy,” Villanueva added.
The recognition comes as RCBC continues to expand its digital partnership with SSS.
In 2025, RCBC and SSS launched the MySSS Card powered by RCBC DiskarTech.
The partnership expanded further this year with the rollout of MySSS Card-enabled contactless payments at LRT-2, allowing cardholders to use the card for train fares, and the introduction of SSS LoanLite, which enables eligible SSS members to apply digitally for short-term loans ranging from ₱1,000 to ₱20,000.
RCBC also brought the MySSS Card closer to overseas Filipinos during the SSS Global Kabayan Day in Hong Kong on September 12 and 13, providing onsite assistance to OFWs applying for the MySSS Card. The event also provided an opportunity to introduce SSS LoanLite, the digital lending service powered by RCBC DiskarTech, as part of the expanded digital financial services available through the SSS-RCBC partnership.
The MySSS Card has also received recent industry recognition, including the Best Growth Strategy in Digital Banking in the Philippines at The Asian Banker Philippine Awards 2026 and a Philippine Quill Award for Marketing, Advertising, and Brand Communication.
