BPC launched its real time transaction of BPC bill payment via MBOB application today. The payment was inaugurated by the Managing Director of BPC and the Chief Technical Officer of BOB in the BPC board room.
Earlier the BPC bill payment via MBOB was not a real time transaction; meaning the transaction was updated manually in the BPC system which took at least one day. This was problematic for those customers who tried to pay the bill on the last day/ due date. Henceforth, the transaction will be updated instantly in both the BPC system and the BOB account solving many issues which the customers faced earlier. Image may be NSFW.
