OneLoad, owned by System’s Ltd subsidiary EP Systems, is digitising micro retailers for banking functions.
The Lahore-based fintech company is also an aspirant for the Electronic Money Institute (EMI) license and received the in-principle approval from the State Bank in January 2020.
Founded in mid-2014, OneLoad acquired retailers by enabling them to sell airtime of telecom operators digitally.
With its retailer base now intact, it has moved on to enable them to accept payments and plans further to equip them for cash-in and cash-out services.
