UBL SME & Corporate Banking
Part of PakFinHub's UBL coverage — see the full bank overview.
- Karobar Loan
- Dedicated Relationship Managers
UBL splits its business banking into two distinct groups: SME & Commercial banking, which serves small and medium enterprises through dedicated Relationship Managers placed across the country, and a separate Corporate Banking Group that serves large corporate customers through a "Wholesale Banking" model.
SME Financing Products
UBL Karobar Loan
A secured financing facility for sole proprietors, partnerships and private limited companies, designed for business expansion and growth — suited to businesses with stable cash flow and registered assets.
UBL Sahulat Loan
Lets you borrow against your own savings to access cash for business needs, while your savings continue to grow.
PM Youth Business Loan
A Government of Pakistan scheme UBL participates in, aimed at unemployed educated youth establishing or extending business enterprises.
Confirmed from UBL's official SME Products & Services pages on ubldigital.com. UBL also offers sector-specific SME facilities, such as Commercial Vehicle Financing and a Rice Husking Loan — see UBL's official SME Banking page for the full current list and eligibility criteria.
SBP Concessional Schemes UBL Also Participates In
Beyond Karobar Loan, Sahulat Loan, and the PM Youth Business Loan, UBL publishes a dedicated SBP Schemes page listing several State Bank concessional refinance facilities it offers alongside its own commercial products — these typically carry below-market rates because SBP itself refinances the bank at a subsidized rate. The list includes the Export Finance Scheme, Refinance Facility for Modernization of SMEs, Long Term Financing Facility for Plant & Machinery, financing for renewable-energy power plants, and a facility for storage of agricultural produce. Because these are SBP-directed schemes, rates and eligibility are set largely by SBP rather than UBL and change periodically — UBL's own SBP Schemes page is the place to check current terms for a specific scheme, rather than assuming standard commercial SME pricing applies.
Confirmed from UBL's official SBP Schemes page (ubldigital.com/Banking/SME-Products-And-Services/SBP-Schemes), which explicitly states product features and mark-up rates are subject to change per SBP directions — no specific current rate stated here since UBL's own page doesn't publish one generically across all listed schemes.
Corporate Banking
UBL's Corporate Banking Group focuses on large corporate and group-company clients, delivered through relationship managers rather than standard branch products. UBL also operates a dedicated Business Banking Portal for digital account management, and has moved corporate lending onto the Temenos digital banking platform, covering loan originations across large corporates, Islamic banking corporates, agri-enterprises, financial institutions and SMEs.
