The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) has reaffirmed its dedication to enhancing service delivery by rolling out convenient and flexible digital payment options for contributors across Ghana.
This move forms a key part of the Trust’s ongoing digital transformation agenda, designed to make pension services faster, safer, and more accessible to workers, employers, and self-employed contributors.
The company has introduced several user-friendly platforms that allow contributors to make pension payments without visiting any physical office. These include:
USSD Service (*7119#): Contributors can simply dial *7119# on any mobile phone to access SSNIT services and make contributions via Mobile Money. The service works without internet access, making it highly convenient for users nationwide, including those in remote areas.
SSNIT Mobile App: This comprehensive app enables users to manage their pension accounts, view contribution statements, apply for benefits, and make payments from anywhere, at any time.
Online Portal and SSNITPay: The Trust’s electronic payment system (SSNITPay) supports seamless payments through Mobile Money, debit cards, and other electronic channels.
These digital innovations are expected to significantly reduce congestion at SSNIT branches while improving overall efficiency and service delivery.
