This partnership is expected to significantly strengthen the pension payment ecosystem significantly, making the scheme more accessible to citizens regardless of their location, whether in urban centres, rural communities, or overseas.
The Universal Pension Scheme, introduced to ensure income security in old age, is a key initiative of the government's long-term social protection agenda. The collaboration with UCB is part of NPA's broader strategy to onboard reliable banking partners with digital capabilities, making the scheme widely accessible.

Commenting on the partnership, UCB's CEO Mohammad Mamdudur Rashid said, "We are honoured to support this landmark initiative that aims to bring financial security to all citizens. At UCB, we believe financial inclusion is not just a service—it's a responsibility."

This MoU positions UCB as a key facilitator in the operational expansion of the UPS, reaffirming the bank's commitment to driving inclusive growth and providing secure, technology-driven financial solutions for citizens at home and abroad.
