U Microfinance Bank Partners with NdcTech and Temenos to Fast-Track Digitalization Efforts

U Microfinance Bank Ltd. (U Bank), a subsidiary fully owned by Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) and recognized as the most rapidly expanding Microfinance Bank in Pakistan, has recently formalized a partnership with NdcTech, a Systems Limited company. This collaboration aims to deploy the innovative Temenos Infinity Digital Banking Platform alongside the cutting-edge Temenos Transact next-generation Core Banking Platform. 

 U Bank's overarching objective is to integrate a larger segment of Pakistan's population into the financial framework by continually advancing product offerings and fostering innovation within the microfinance sector. This mission is aligned with the goal of promoting socioeconomic growth and enhancing the overall quality of life on a national scale. The bank has a network of more than 200 branches, 45,000 agent locations across 183 cities and rural areas in Pakistan and offers a wide range of microfinance loans, deposits, payment services, and wallet solutions. 

 This will empower the bank to deliver an elevated customer experience, facilitate the swift introduction of adaptable and distinctive products, and significantly reduce transaction processing times. For U Bank, the ability to offer personalized services via this platform will be pivotal in remaining competitive and ensuring greater inclusivity and accessibility for its customer base. 

 Leveraging the power of Temenos' open banking platform and coupled with NdcTech's extensive implementation proficiency, U Bank will effectively streamline its operations and facilitate the rollout of advanced digital products within shorter timeframes. This collaborative partnership positions U Bank to provide more accessible and cost-effective financial services to the Pakistani populace, thereby fostering greater financial inclusion.
