How long does it take for a bank to apply for a social security card?

It usually takes about 3 months for a bank to apply for a social security card, and it only takes about 1 month if it is fast.

Want to know the progress of social security card processing, you can call the unified service hotline 12333 for consultation, or visit the website of the local social security center for enquiry. In addition, the social security card needs to be activated before it can be used, so it is best to activate the social security account and the bank financial account on the spot when the bank notifies you to pick up the card.

It is recommended that you activate both accounts, because the functions are different. Social security accounts can only be used to purchase medicines at designated pharmacies and settle personal medical expenses at designated medical institutions, while bank financial accounts can only be used for business such as consumption transfer and cash deposit and withdrawal. In addition, pensions are paid through financial accounts rather than social security accounts.

The full name of the social security card is the Social Security Card of the People's Republic of China. The Social Security Card of the People's Republic of China is an integrated circuit (ic) card which is uniformly planned by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and issued by local human resources and social security departments for various business fields of human resources and social security. Social security (individual) cards are issued to urban employees, unemployed people and retirees, and social security (employer) cards are issued to employers. Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said that it will take about five years to make social security cards generally have financial functions.

Social security card information includes basic information on the card surface and information in the card. Among them, the basic information on the card surface is the cardholder's name, card number, citizenship number, card issuing date, validity period, etc. The card records the personal status of the cardholder (such as employment, unemployment, retirement, etc.). ), social insurance payment, personal account information of endowment insurance, personal account information of medical insurance, professional qualifications and skills, working experience, industrial injury and occupational disease disability, etc.
