Panama’s Social Security Fund now collects more than B/.10 million a month through online payments, 14 months after launching the service for employer and voluntary payroll contributions.

The system, available through the Mi Caja Digital platform, processed about B/.6,000 during its first month in March 2025. Collections reached B/.500,000 in April and have since climbed to more than B/.10 million monthly.

The Social Security Fund says the platform now handles more than 7,000 transactions each month. Domestic workers have made more than 1,200 payments through the service, which accepts Visa and MasterCard debit and credit cards.

Users can pay from anywhere at any time without visiting a Social Security Fund office. After the transaction, the system automatically updates the payment status and sends a digital receipt to the registered email address. The fund said it will continue expanding digital services to simplify procedures and reduce waiting times for employers and insured people.
