Do I need to go to the bank to open the banking function of the social security card?

The new social security card covers the functions of bank card and social security card. When employees or freelancers get a new card at the social security center, the social security card will be automatically activated and the social security function will take effect immediately. Social security cards are uniformly handled and issued by the company. The social security function of the social security card can not be used normally until it is received for 96 hours. So the new social security card can also be used as a bank card. If you want to activate the function of the bank card, you must go to the window of the corresponding bank. After activation, the medical insurance account can be used. In addition, the use of social security cards in designated medical insurance hospitals can also directly activate the social security card function. You can insert a social security card to buy medicines at designated medical insurance cooperative pharmacies, and directly activate the consumption of social security cards.
