Bring your company ID and you should have an SSS or Social Security System. I don't know why UnionBank needs your SSS, just ask the teller.

Additional Requirements for Students:

Bring your student ID and your Student Registration Card, to proved that you're really enrolled as a student. Don't forget the receipt of your payments for that Registration card.

In my case, I'm a college student and I don't have any Government IDs. So first I apply for Postal ID and Baranggay Clearance 

Most of the UnionBank Branches that print EON card have a document scanner. Just to make sure, please photocopy all the requirements.

After the signing up process and you received the text message from EON. The sender named is EON. The message is like this:
