Ali please let me clarify one thing. KASB eUBS has aggregation rights for SNGPL SSGC, KESC, PTCL, GEPCO and IESCO and not repeat not for LESCO. The data for LESCO bills is updated by another company, which in turn has an agreement with LESCO, and with which KASB is in agreement too. This data is then used by KASB for customer's bill payments and that too only via the mobile channel specifically Mobilink Genie.

The agreement as I know of it, does not give KASB the right to provide LESCO bills via any other channel and forwarding these rights to yet another party is totally out of the question.

What these companies have done is equivalent to a fraud. I am amazed at the level of negligence and immaturity shown by Tameer, Telenor and KASB.

i think Telenor should mark on the website that LESCO is paid via KASB's UB service

They never mention that the bill is paid via 1-link.

With a big bang advertising and presssurising newspapers by using big advertising muscles to print ads on front page instead of news for which readers buy the newspaper. If Telenor would have paid even little attention to product instead of advertising, the situation would have been different.

@Kashif Saleem – I am not sure whether you are challenging my comments or supporting them. From the get-go it appears you are challenging, but the latter part seems to be more supportive.

@ali Sikander – In addition to your point, if either Tameer or KASB (as a back up bill aggregator) are not facilitating payments on time (whether due to delayed payment report submissions to the utility companies or other reasons) are still grounds for penalizing the institution promoting the service because it is on the front-end and is offering it's services to the people, regardless of the backend ops involved.

Customers don't care how it works, as long as it works.

My point(s) point fingers at the likes of an institution such as Telenor.

compelled by celebrities to follow the procedure.

Don't you think TRUTH has any value. Why do you forget the case of AT&T in US when it had to pay back the amount to its customers which the company looted from them no matter how good intentions were of management.

In Pakistan, only banks (barring government entities like NADRA) have the permission to be collecting banks. Tameer is a collecting bank and such companies which currently have no billing aggregation contract with Tameer, KASB is used as their member bank for bills. The same is true for Atlas Bank, Citibank, SAMBA Bank, Bank Al ISlami etc.

Pleas be rest assured that all the bills paid so far are completely updated and wait for the next bill.

These were the direct financial transaction and no single statement from the company clearing its position. That means Telenor is guilty and they do not have the courage to appear in the public. They are doing business in Pakistan how can they just set this fact aside.
