Old age pensioners of the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) may no longer have to come to the city and endure long queues in claiming their monthly pension through the lone Union Bank branch here.

This, as Gov. Erico Aumentado, through the intercession of Pres. Gloria Arroyo, have agreed in principle that GSIS president Winston Garcia will enter into an arrangement with the First Consolidated Bank (FCB) to be its conduit in releasing pension claims.

According to Aumentado, FCB chair Richard Uy agreed to put up ATM machines in its 22 branches in the towns to serve the purpose.
