Utility Bills Payment: Ufone Inked MoU With NADRA

National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has entered into an agreement with Ufone and recently inked an MoU which will enable general public to pay off their utility bills through more than eleven thousand Ufone outlets country wide.Tariq Malik Deputy Chairman NADRA represented NADRA  and Abdul Aziz Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and President Ufone signed this important MoU on Wedenesday.

Under the deal the general public and Nadra Technologies Ltd would be able to pay off their bills through alternate channels. The agreement saw the light of the day since NTL has offered their billing switch to Ufone thus facilitating the latter through U-shops and other outlets.

NADRA under the banner of NTL has took another step to facilitate the masses and to give customers more options and places to pay their utility bills at more than 11,000 U Shops around the country, said Malik. He expressed hope that the arrangement once put in place will facilitate general public, especially in rural areas with solutions housed in congenial environments. Besides, it will also expose common man to state-of-the-art-technology, he added.

Malik lauded the role of Ufone management for their initiative and customer care preferences, while entering into agreement with NTL. He further emphasised that e-Sahulat platform is a tip of the iceberg and NTL is in process of transforming the platform into National Smart Service Platform for e-commerce.
Through this Smart Service Platform organisations can utilise e-Sahulat touch points for cash in and cash out transactions under branchless regulations issued by State Bank of Pakistan, Malik said, adding that the arrangement will help commercial banks and Telcos to extend branchless banking concept through e-Sahulat without raising any infrastructure thereby saving capital and operational cost.
Abdul Aziz CEO Ufone said that Ufone is constantly looking to bring positive changes in the lives of the people of Pakistan by providing them the best quality and most innovative services. He said that the partnership with NADRA would help give customers more options and places to pay their utility bills at more than 11,000 U Shops around the country.
