CALAMBA CITY, Laguna (PIA) — The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) announced that 91 percent of its members nationwide are now enrolled in its mobile app allowing members to manage their finances digitally.
The GSIS Touch app is equipped with features such as a digital ID for easier transactions with partner banks, a One-Time-Pin (OTP), and facial recognition system to ensure that the contact information of its members remains secured.
