MCB President & CEO Imran Maqbool said, “MCB Lite complements the excellent work that is already happening in the industry for financial inclusion. All of it has been possible due to the remarkable regulatory framework set-up by State Bank of Pakistan and initiatives so far led by telecom operators with the exception of one large bank. Most of the players are operating at the bottom of the opportunity pyramid, with MCB Lite; we aim to play in the parts of the opportunity pyramid that remains largely unoccupied by others.”
In future, MCB plans to expand and strengthen their proposition by introducing innovative features and functions by keeping in line with their philosophy of co-creating products with their consumers.
The launching ceremony concluded with an interactive question-answer session and positive note that Pakistan is among a few countries of the world which are going to develop in this technology during coming four to five years because of being a member of club of English speaking countries and high level of teledensity.
