New cash card launched for Moroccan social security claimants
2006-04-26
As part of the process to simplify access to social security benefits, a new cash card is being distributed up by the department in partnership with Barid Al Maghrib.
By Hassan Benmehdi for Magharebia in Casablanca – 26/04/06
 [File] The card will eliminate the need for Moroccan pensioners to queue at the post office counter. |
Barid Al Maghrib and the Moroccan Social Security Department (CNSS) signed an agreement on 20 April that will establish a cash card payment procedure to allow CNSS benefits to be paid to claimants who do not have bank accounts. The new product, which will be launched in June, will allow card holders to access funds through the various services run by the CNSS.
The new card, under the Visa label, will also serve as a debit card for withdrawals from all automatic teller machines run by Barid Al Maghrib and banks affiliated with the Centre Monétique Interbancaire and for electronic payment for goods at retail outlets.
Saïd Ahmidouche, director general of the CNSS, said that this partnership will strengthen ties between the two institutions, which are firmly committed to a global modernisation process to benefit their customers and users.
Anas Alami, director general of Barid Al Maghrib, expressed hope a similar process can contribute to the successful implementation of compulsory health insurance.
Adding that the launch of the card does not contribute to profit-making, he was careful to explain that the project has a social dimension that will benefit most of the Moroccan population now. Alami feels the cards will make the electronic payments available to all Moroccans without any distinction. Barid Al Maghrib has promised to ensure a 95 per cent availability rate across its automatic teller network.
The card will bear the logos of the CNSS and Barid Al Maghrib and be valid for a period of three years at a price of 20 dirhams annually. Owners will thus have easy access to payments made by the CNSS with the simple-to-use card.
Created in 1961, the CNSS manages all social security payments for employed individuals. Currently, it covers 163,026 affiliated companies, 1,757,847 contributing workers and 300,501 pensioners.
Barid Al Maghrib is a multiple service business with international coverage. Set up in 1998, it provides messaging, postal and financial services.

Thank you for your hard work. We ask you to intervene so that workers benefit from 26 days in a month, because the entrepreneurs don't meet their obligations. As to medical coverage, why doesn't the insured take advantage of it...? Thank you- I hope there will be an advertising campaign so that everyone knows his obligations and rights. Thank you...

In the name of God most gracious most merciful, I'm very happy to meet you. I live in Casablanca, I work in the CNSS. Is it possible to adhere to a security fund in Morocco? What are the necessary documents for me? We heard that there's a new convention about the Social Security. Thank you. Your faithful son Youssef.

If we aren’t entitled to benefit from it, I want you to calculate all my account so that I move to another institute. Thank you.
