In a significant move for banking in Pakistan, private banks are now offering services seven days a week. This change means customers can visit selected branches on Sundays to handle their banking needs, a shift from the traditional weekend closure.
This development is part of an ongoing effort to increase customer accessibility and flexibility. Now, whether it’s for business, personal transactions, or regular services, customers no longer need to wait for the workweek to resume. With this new schedule, banks are aiming to make their services more accessible to a broader range of people.

Starting immediately, several UBL branches across the country will operate on Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This provides customers with six hours of uninterrupted service. The move follows other recent changes by various banks to extend weekday operating hours, running from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. These changes indicate a growing sense of competition in the sector.
For customers, this means more convenience and access to essential banking services at their preferred times. The shift is a positive step towards improving customer service across the industry.
UBL’s decision to stay open on Sundays is a historic change, setting a new standard for customer service and accessibility in the Pakistani banking landscape. This move could potentially encourage other banks to follow suit and offer similar services, improving the overall banking experience for customers across the country.
