KARACHI: United Bank Limited (UBL) has completed a large-scale core banking data migration with AUTON8 in six months, transitioning data from ex-Silkbank’s Temenos T24 core banking system to UBL’s Symbols platform, a statement said on Tuesday.
The programme encompassed customer account records across 105 branches and was executed with zero critical data loss within six months, ensuring complete accuracy, reconciliation, and uninterrupted operational continuity.
The initiative addressed significant technical challenges, including high-volume data processing within restricted banking windows, complex mapping across account structures, branch codes, customer identifiers, and GL/symbol hierarchies, as well as the remediation of legacy data quality issues.
Farasat Ali Naqvi, EVP Core Banking at UBL, added, “The successful completion of this migration within 6 months represents a significant milestone for UBL. AUTON8 MORPH proved to be a game-changer for us — its no-code, governed, and traceable transformation approach made it possible to deliver this outcome at speed. AUTON8’s structured execution ensured data integrity, minimised operational risk, and enabled a smooth post-migration transition.”
Ali Raza, chief operating officer at AUTON8, said: “This project reflects AUTON8’s strength in delivering mission-critical banking transformations under tight timelines. Migrating customer records across 105 branches between two entirely different core banking systems, while ensuring zero critical data loss, demonstrates our automation-led execution and deep banking domain expertise. AUTON8 MORPH — our no-code transformation platform — enabled governed, fully traceable mapping and conversion at scale, which is how we delivered within such a compressed timeframe.”
The merger of UBL and Silk Bank took place last year under the supervision of the State Bank of Pakistan.
