Blog: UPayments | Mobile Banking Solution By Ufone

Whenever U want, wherever U want, any time U want

Ufone, in association with HBL, has launched one-of-a kind Mobile Financial Service under the marquee ‘UPayments’. It imposes one restriction: the user has to have a HBL account. So any Ufone customer who owns a HBL account can pay their utility bills directly from their handsets without having to pay a visit to any retail outlet.

Besides, users can also inquire their HBL account balance anytime they want.

It would be unfair to belittle this service from Ufone by comparing it to the likes of Omni or EasyPaisa. Every effort to broaden the servicing showcase should be deeply appreciated as that’s the only way to make technology convenient for the lay man.

One catch of this service is the integration with roaming capabilities. The customers can enjoy banking services anywhere in Ufone’s international footprint. Who knows this distinctive feature might become the sales pitch!

Mr. Akbar Khan Chief Marketing Officer Ufone said, ‘The launch of UPayments gives Ufone’s customers the ease to pay their bills no matter where they are’. ‘This is just the start to many other features to come which will eventually allow Ufone’s valued customers to use their handsets for all banking transactions’ he added.

In order to use this service all one needs is an HBL account and a Ufone connection.

Ufone customers will have the ease to check their HBL account balance as well as view their HBL mini account statements directly on their Ufone.

UPayments is a USSD based service hence it is extremely customer friendly and has no handset limitation.

One of the unique selling points for UPayments is that the customers can avail all these banking services while roaming anywhere in the world with Ufone’s International Roaming network. This is the first time in Pakistan that customers are being offered mobile banking services via USSD when traveling around the globe.
