The roll-out of BVS was carried out in phases, with a further expansion of its deployment completed at all its retail centers in Baluchistan and Karachi by April 2014.

“Ufone is committed and has carried out Biometric Verification System installation over 200 cities across Pakistan in order to facilitate our valued customers,” said Amir Pasha, head of public relations and corporate social responsibility at Ufone. “In the near future, we aim to extend this BVS network to over 50,000 outlets. We have carried out extensive training sessions for our retail network for the use and adoption of the system.”
