Nothing new..
i am paying bills (LESCO, PTCL , SNGPL some time mobile top ups as well) online from past two years and very happy with it except two time i faced issue with online transaction which were sorted afterwords.
What was the issue..? Did the bill go unpaid even after your were charged? That’s my worst fear with online billing!
yes that happened with me one time but usually it happens that i paid bill today but due to some issue payment was not successful at merchant level and after two days bank will reverse the payment and i have to pay again so not a big deal but it is suggested always pay at least 1 week before due date to avoid any issue.
never faced this issue in last 8 years with MCB
Same happened with me.Good Advice..Different banks customer might be facing several issues in SCB I had faced the same
No it never happens
Wrong Data for AKBL
Yes, AKBL is also providing Mobilink top ups etc.
What about summit bank?
I have been paying my SNGPL & IESCO bills via UBL Netbanking for more than a year now. I am also paying Beaconhouse fees from UBL netbanking as well. no more going to the banks and waiting in the line :)
has anyone paid LESCO bill via MCB? i just cannot add my LESCO details in MCB online Banking account.
how about calling MCB helpline?
Dear Laraib Qureshi,
you are missing Meezan Bank.
Also do mention UBL is the expensive one & the stupid one in terms n Internet bank. you have to subscribe for separate packages fro transactions.
Alfalah & Mezaan are good & free internet banking.
Faysal also good but you must have 50K to open account..
MCB is good, just have to pay annual ATM fee, internet banking always remained free (till now, never know about future).
meezan offers best services
This online system is very old in pakistan, I am paying from 2 year. I don’t know from how much time this system is working in pakistan.
This is quite old now. I pay all kinds of bill online automatically as soon as bill arrives I get the confirmation that your so and so bill have been paid.
مفید معلومات کے لیئے شکریہ۔ بہت سے لوگوں کو اس سہولت بارے معلوم نہ ہوگا۔ اب ایک قدم اور اٹھائیں اور بتائیں کہ کون سے بینک کریڈٹ کارڈ سے انٹرنیٹ پر ڈالر وغیرہ میں ادائگی کرتے ہیں اورکون سے بینک سب سے کم فیس چارج کرتے ہیں۔
Using Allied Direct, without any problems for the past few months. However, be cautious when using netbanking. There are a lot of phishing campaigns around where hackers ask for sensitive financial data in emails. SCB got hit with a serious scam few months back, where hackers, portrayed themselves as SCB officials, emailed customers and asked them for Debit Card no., TPIN, CNIC and stuff. So, be careful!
MCB best
bcoz
it accepting zong + telenor Boom
Please correct your information as MCB is not Muslim Commercial Bank anymore. it is MCB Bank Limited now.
Soneri Mobile banking is also doing well.
Correction: UBL accepts Telenor bill payment as well
Which bank is best in Pakistan in term of E-Banking like online payments, mobile top up, online pay order or fund transfer and most important mobile app.
can any one gives an API for integrating utility bill payments in my website
