Now banks will remain open on Sundays in Pakistan.
In good news, banking in Pakistan just got more accessible as private banks started offering services seven days a week.
Now customers can visit selected branches on Sundays for their banking needs.
Weekends are known as non-banking, but now, whether it’s for business purposes, personal transactions, or routine services, customers no longer need to wait for the workweek to resume.
Starting immediately, several UBL branches across Pakistan will remain open from 10:00 am. to 4 p.m. on Sundays, giving clients six hours of uninterrupted service.

This development follows recent moves by other banks to extend weekday hours to 9:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m., signalling increased competition in the sector. But for customers, it’s a win: more flexibility and greater access to essential financial services.
UBL’s decision to stay open on Sundays marks a historic shift in Pakistan’s banking landscape, setting a new benchmark for customer service and accessibility.
