Internet banking users of State Bank of India (SBI) are required to register their mobile number (if not done earlier) with the lender by December 1, 2018, said the country's largest bank. Customers who fail to register it before the deadline, will not be able to access the internet banking facilities of SBI, the lender said on its online portal- onlinesbi.com. "Attention INB (Internet Banking) users, please register your mobile number with us immediately, if not already done, through Branch, failing which the Internet Banking facility may be blocked with effect from 01.12.2018", it said. SBI's move came in the wake of the circular (dated July 6, 2017) issued by Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Banks must ask their customers to mandatorily register for SMS alerts and wherever available register for e-mail alerts, for electronic banking transactions, RBI had said.
Therefore, if the mobile number is not already registered with SBI internet banking, users must do it as soon as possible. Besides, users can also check if the mobile number is already registered with the bank by logging in to the internet banking facility.
