Is the housing provident fund card and social security card the same card?

Housing accumulation fund card and social security card are not the same card, as follows:

1, social security card and provident fund card are not the same card. Social security cards are mainly used to pay pensions, buy medicines and see a doctor and be used as bank cards. Provident fund card can be used to receive housing provident fund;

2. The social security card is issued by the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of the insured place, and the housing provident fund card is issued by the local housing provident fund management center. Because social security cards and provident fund cards are issued by two different institutions, the issuing banks may also be different.
