In a major step toward reshaping Pakistan’s digital banking landscape, easypaisa digital bank has announced its strategic collaboration with Oracle, selecting the Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer platform to power the majority of its critical workloads. The move is expected to reduce operational costs by nearly 50% while significantly enhancing operational efficiency — a testament to easypaisa’s progressive and agile approach to cloud adoption and digital banking expansion.
By migrating to Oracle’s Exadata Cloud@Customer, easypaisa aims to strengthen its infrastructure with a scalable, secure, and high-performance computing environment. The transition not only enables a substantial performance uplift but also provides the bank with the flexibility of Oracle’s pay-as-you-go (PAYG) model. This cost-effective and consumption-based cloud deployment empowers the organization to optimize IT expenditures while adapting swiftly to shifting market dynamics.
According to Mohammad Hasan Ayaz, Chief Technology Officer at easypaisa digital bank, “Deployment of Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer has been a strategic move keeping our long-term growth plans in view. With a scalable infrastructure, considerable performance gains, enhanced security and efficient TCO overall, Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer has become a key enabler for easypaisa’s growth and thus financial inclusion at large.”
Adding to this, Nadeem Ashfaq, Head of Infrastructure & Cloud at easypaisa, emphasized the operational improvements seen since the adoption. “With Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer, we’ve seen a significant boost in performance. Patching and debugging are now effortless, and our security posture has improved substantially. The consumption-based, scalable model and pay-per-usage cloud delivery have allowed us to optimize our license cost and quickly adapt to changing business demands.”
The advantages of the Exadata Cloud@Customer deployment for easypaisa are numerous. The bank now benefits from a single-vendor support model, which has notably reduced support turnaround times and improved uptime. Automation has become a core aspect of daily operations, minimizing manual interventions and reducing human error. In addition, Oracle’s Autonomous Database features bring advanced capabilities to the table, offering self-healing, self-securing, and self-tuning functionalities, which collectively enhance reliability, scalability, and data security.
This collaboration reflects a strong mutual commitment between easypaisa and Oracle to introduce world-class digital infrastructure within Pakistan’s banking ecosystem. It also aligns with the broader goals of enhancing financial inclusion and accessibility through cutting-edge cloud and fintech solutions. By modernizing its core infrastructure, easypaisa is preparing to serve millions of customers more efficiently, securely, and innovatively.
The partnership highlights a shared vision of digital evolution in the banking sector and demonstrates how next-generation technologies can be leveraged to transform service delivery models across financial institutions in Pakistan.
