Union Bank announced that its mobile app UBgo has now been further enhanced with the JustPay payment solution from LankaPay to enable seamless payments.
In this phase of its development with the JustPay integration, UBgo users will experience the convenience of drawing funds from any other bank to ‘Top up’ their Union Bank current or savings account instantly.
The integration with JustPay will enable UBgo app users to make payments, transfers and carry out transactions all in one app without switching between several banking apps, by simply drawing funds from other bank accounts to manage all their lifestyle payments with ease. This would also help UBgo app users to keep a better track of their payments and expenses by ensuring that the payments are all made through the Union Bank account on the UBgo app.
The JustPay integration on UBgo will also be beneficial at a time of emergency where users could simply draw funds from any of their other bank accounts to meet emergency payment requirements instantly, without the hassle of running to an ATM, visiting a branch or even switching between apps.
Commenting on the latest development on the app, Assistant Vice President and Head of Retail Liability Products and Alternate Channels at Union Bank Manisha Fernando said, “We have continued to collaborate with the national payment services provider LankaClear to further enhance our user experience on UBgo. With the integration of JustPay facility, UBgo users can easily top up their accounts at Union Bank from any other bank linked with the JustPay facility. In doing so, they will be able to have all their bank accounts on one app, and this would enable them to make retail payments using the UBgo app and the Lanka QR facility or even make payments online or make real time fund transfers using their app while ensuring that sufficient funds are available in their Union Bank accounts. This is another step taken in the direction of developing this key digital banking channel to provide an increasingly convenient and contact-less banking experience to our customers, especially during these times that call for social distancing and minimised exposure. UBgo will continue to be enhanced in the months to come, where customers will be able to benefit from the banking app in terms of cost-effective, seamless payment and transaction conveniences along with greater security for their banking transactions.”
To draw funds using the JustPay facility on UBgo, users can simply login to the app, add their other bank account number they wish to draw funds from, enter the amount and top-up the selected Union Bank account. The funds will be made available real-time, and this can be viewed on the app by checking their Union Bank account details.
The services of the app and the JustPay feature is available to all Union Bank account holders. Existing UBgo app users are required to download the upgraded app to activate the Top Up and go facility. To learn more about this feature or to register for the Union Bank Mobile app, Union Bank accountholders may contact the bank’s 24-hour customer service hotline or refer the bank’s corporate website.
