What are some banks that can issue social security cards?

When looking for banks where you can get a social security card, here are some common financial institutions: Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Bank of Communications, China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of China, as well as Postal Savings Bank and Rural Credit Union. The process is roughly as follows:

First, you need to bring your ID card and prepare a photo ID to upload it to the social security system. Then, according to the system prompts, go to the bank to get a photo receipt, and then fill out the application form for the social security card. The whole process can take about two to three months of waiting for notification from the bank until you receive your new Social Security card.

The social security card is very versatile, as it is not only used for real-time settlement of medical insurance personal accounts, but is also capable of handling pension insurance-related matters. For example, you can use it to register for job searching, register for unemployment and claim unemployment insurance benefits. In addition, it also supports job training applications, labor capacity appraisal and receipt of work injury insurance benefits, as well as handling a range of labor and social security affairs online.

It should be noted that the social security card is not available at all banks; it is actually a financial social security card issued by the social security authorities in cooperation with banks. In China, the current rule is that applications are only accepted from the four major state-owned banks (China, ICBC, China Construction Bank and Agricultural Bank of China), and you can choose a bank that is close to your residence and has a large number of branches to apply for the card. The social security card is designed to be used nationwide, adapting to the needs of a unified national labor market and social security networking, and facilitating the use of the card when people move around.

So if you need to apply for a social security card, you can consult your local social security office to get a list of specific partner banks so that you can successfully complete the application process.
