THE Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) said SM Supermalls has started accepting the Philippine Identification (PhilID) card in its SM Business Center services such as foreign currency exchange, remittance services, and credit card transactions.

"The action of SM Groups to accept the PhilID as a valid ID for a financial service they offer is a big leap for PhilSys (Philippine Identification System), as this will achieve our goal of providing easier, safer, and more secure access to services to the public," said PSA Undersecretary and National Statistician Dennis S. Mapa in a statement.
