The online bank has announced today that it is now a collaborating entity with the Social Security system, allowing all its clients in Spain to receive benefits from the Social Security system, SEPE and Imserso, as well as, for self-employed professionals, pay their contributions to the Social Security.

Being able to make it easier for them to collect benefits that are so vital to their financial well-being, such as unemployment or birth and child care benefits, or retirement or disability pensions, makes us feel especially proud. We want to continue growing in Spain by offering an excellent banking experience and becoming a Social Security collaborating entity was a necessary and indispensable step”.
