United Bank Limited (UBL) has announced Sunday hours for selected branches, making UBL the first bank in Pakistan to offer in-branch services seven days a week. 

"The UBL branches that offer 'Sunday Banking' will open every Sunday from 10:00am to 4:00pm (6 uninterrupted hours)," UBL said in a recent post on its official social media accounts. 

"It means we will provide you with banking services every day of the week," the bank reflects its message about making life easier for customers. 

While it is common for banks to have some branches open on Saturdays, Sunday banking is an unprecedented approach for the banking industry and aims to serve bank customers who would have typically engaged with banks during the regular work week. 

UBL has made available to customers the list of branches that are offering Sunday Banking, which can be found on UBL's website, social media pages.

The service includes regular banking functions that a customer would need to complete, which makes it easier to complete banking tasks outside the constraints of weekdays.

It is evident that competition is heating up in the banking industry in Pakistan, with some banks already announcing extended working hours and digitally enhanced service offerings. 

Earlier, Habib Bank Limited (HBL) recently announced their branch hours are now Monday - Friday from 9:00am - 7:00pm to maximise access for customers.
