  1. Same sentiment here sa mga nag-post about BDO not having SSS in their list sa online banking. I wrote to them sa official FB nila that OFWs really need it since their service is built around ‘Finding Ways’ for people. I asked why the logo of Bancnet is at the back of my Visa debit card and yet they aren’t in the list of banks you can pay SSS online thru Bancnetonline. I guess what we can do is to mobilize and keep on sending them this request to have it available. May BDO Kabayan pa naman din sila. Mas OK sana for the SSS din to make it easier for us to pay them by having more options sa kanilang e-Payment scheme.

  6. isa po akong OFW ditto sa Saudi Arabia ask ko lang po about the payment for SSS monthly contributions and Loan Restructuring program. dati po kasi pwedeng magbayad ng direct sa SKY FREIGHT Forwarder’s pero now po sa FAWRI remittance center na ang bayaran. pero sabi po sa SKY FREIGHT Forwarder’s kailangan munang humingi muna sa kanila ng reference number bago magbayad sa FAWRI. hindi po ba pwedeng diretso na agad ang bayad sa FAWRI remittance na hindi na dadaan sa forwarder. kasi po may chardge sa sa SKY FREIGHT na 70.oo pesos kada transaction tapos another charges naman sa FAWRI na 15SR. doble doble po halos ang binabayaran na charge. wala po bang ibang way na di na dadaaan pa sa forwarder para lang kumuha ng reference number. kasi po ang ang BDO online wala naman pong SSS payment until now. please ano po ang maisuggest nyo.

  10. Can I pay my loan amortization voluntarily even if i’m employed? This is so i can prevent my employer from not paying my loan again like before.

    Reply
    • Yes. I did paying my own monthly loan amortization while I’m employed. I suggest to pay it directly to the SSS Office because your payment/s will be reflected within one to three working days..

  14. hello,

    Online payment every month. Thru sending in the bank . Palompon, Leyte PNB Bank , is that be allowed to sending , no bank account in the philippines . because I am stayed in Australia almost one year now.

    Please be advice or helping me about my distribution of sss online payment every month. Since I contributed on 2001 until 2014. i wish i will continued this year 2017.

    Reply
    • Well, for one, it is very difficult to understand what you are saying. If you can write in another Philippine language, that would be more preferable so that the answers provided here can also answer those that have the same question as yours.

      Did you mean that since you have been in Australia for the past year. you have been unable to continue paying for your contribution? And that you wish to pay your contribution through PNB Bank in Leyte? (It actually doesn’t matter where your bank is because they offer the same services all throughout their network).

      If that is correct, then please consider the following.

      1. You can’t pay for your missed payments in the years 2015 and 2016, That means you have already lost 24 months of payment opportunities.

      2. You have until December 31, 2017 to pay for all the remaining months in 2017 that you have missed. After that, you only have until March 31, 2018 to pay for October 2017, November 2017, and December 2017 payments (last 3 months), If you were still unable to pay for those months by March 31. 2018, then you will have lost all of your opportunities to pay for the entire year of 2017

      3. You can pay your SSS contribution through PNB’s online banking. If you have a PNB account, you may enroll it to activate your online banking privilege. Please follow this link and follow the instructions there https://portal.pnb.com.ph/pnbonline/fo/enrol

      4. You can pay for your SSS contribution through any payremit centers in Australia. Please follow this address to check which payment center is nearest to you. https://www.payremit.com/about/findagents

      5. SSS only requires a minimum of 120 monthly payments. After that, it just becomes an investment of diminishing returns. Since you have already paid a total of 168 monthly contributions (2001 to 2014 = 14 x 12 = 168) and assuming that you have paid all of the months in all those years, and that you paid the maximum contribution, then please consider the calculation below. It shows that you have to continue paying for the next 6 years (72 payments) if you want to get more pension (by P300) than what you can already get from your minimum (120 contributions).

    • No. Although BDO is a founding member of Bancnet, it chose not to avail of the services and facilities offered under the Bancnet network.

      Sorry to break it to you but there is no way to pay SSS through any of the facilities of BDO.

      Talking about the biggest bank in the Philippines that doesn’t care about the welfare of Filipinos, but only how to make the most money, Actually, there is very little profit for banks in doing business with SSS,

      And also, you can’t pay SSS through BPI and Metrobank.

      This article is so full of misinformation. The author did not research very well.

      Reply
      • I guess the author failed to update this. Metrobank used to have this facility and when i checked it today to register my sss, it is no longer on dropdown list of government billers.

    • di ako taga sss pero sa experience ko pwedi mong bayaran ang kabooang taon with in the year laang din pero yong last 3 months from oct- december pwedi bayaran until Jan 31 pag ka next year halimbawa 2016 hangang 2017 sa january yong last 3 months po

      Reply
    • You can’t pay the contribution of a previous year. SSS collection for the previous year closes on 31st December of the same year. However, you may still be able to pay the last 3 months of the previous year until January 31st of the following year.

      See below:

      01-Jan-2016 ~ 31-Sep-2016 Deadline is 31-Dec-2016
      01-Oct-2016 ~ 31-Dec-2016 Deadline is 31-Jan-2017

      and the same goes for the any year unless SSS releases a new directive.

  17. How can I pay through BDO online? There’s no SSS Company / Biller Name on BDO to register my SSS Number / Account No. I think BDO is not yet partner by SSS?

    • SSS is not a biller of BDO.

      No chance to pay SSS thru BDO. Sad but true since BDO is like the biggest bank in the Philippines.
