Ufone, NADRA to facilitate e-Commerce

ISLAMABAD: The National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) Technologies Limited (NTL) in collaboration with Ufone signed an agreement on Wednesday to give customers more options and places to pay their utility bills at more than 11,000 U-shops around the country, a statement said.

NADRA Deputy Chairman Tariq Malik and Ufone President Abdul Aziz signed the memorandum of understanding (MoU) to facilitate the masses.

Malik said that e-Sahulat platform is a tip of the iceberg and NTL is in process of transforming this 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 the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), he said.

Appreciating the Ufone management for their initiative and customer care preferences, Malik said, this arrangement will help commercial banks and Telecommunication companies to extend branchless banking concept through e-Sahulat without raising any infrastructure, thereby, saving capital and operational cost, it said.
