SBI users to lose internet banking service if mobile number not registered

One can register their mobile number by visiting the branch or through an ATM.

State Bank of India (SBI) users across the country might lose their access to the internet banking facility if they do not have their mobile number registered with their respective bank accounts. The deadline to get their mobile phones registered is November 30. The bank will suspend the facility with immediate effect from December 1. However, the bank account will still remain operational.

“Please register your mobile number by November 30, 2018, failing which your internet banking access may be deactivated/blocked with effect from December 1, 2018,” the SBI has stated on its website.

The order has been issued after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issued guidelines making it compulsory for commercial banks to ask their customers to mandatorily register for SMS alerts for electronic banking transactions.
