THE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM (SSS) has partnered with East West Rural Bank, Inc. to expand the MySSS Card to underserved areas.

SSS President Robert Joseph M. de Claro and EastWest Rural Bank President Shiela Marasigan-Bajado signed a memorandum of agreement authorizing the bank to issue the card, which serves as both an official SSS ID and debit card, mainly for rural members while remaining accessible nationwide.

“The MySSS card also allows SSS to provide digital payment facilities for our registrants, members, pensioners and beneficiaries,” Mr. de Claro said in a statement on Wednesday.

The state pension fund uses the national ID database to verify membership and issues cards via partner banks, with benefits disbursed through linked accounts.

Ms. Bajado said the application process would be available at EastWest Rural Bank’s 112 branches and branch-lites nationwide this year, most of which are in Mindanao and the Visayas, and may also be offered digitally at cross-selling desks at EastWest Bank branches.

Cardholders will have waived maintaining balance requirements and can earn interest once balances reach P500, she added.

Launched in October 2025, the MySSS Card replaces the unified multi-purpose identification card and functions as a digital banking tool. — Aaron Michael C. Sy

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
