SBI Extends OTP-Based Withdrawal in ATMs
State Bank of India extended OTP-based withdrawals in ATMs to 24*7 for withdrawals of Rs 10,000 and above for all SBI debit cardholders. The feature will go live on September 18.
The bank had introduced this feature on January 1, 2020 however, back then this feature could be used only between 8.00 p.m. to 8.00 a.m. Now it can be used throughout the day.
After the customer enters the amount he/she wishes to withdraw from the ATM, the screen will ask for an OTP which is sent to the registered mobile number.
The customer will have to enter the OTP along with their debit card PIN on the ATM.
This is done to ensure an added layer of security for higher-value cash withdrawals.
