Dear customer, beware of fake sites- before logging into onlinesbi for making transactions, please ensure that the URL address bar begins with https:// with padlock symbol. Click the padlock to check the Security Certificate. Please notify any unauthorised electronic transaction on 1-800-425-3800/1-800-11-2211 immediately. Longer the time taken to notify, higher would be the risk of loss to you. In case your mobile is deactivated without your request or you get a call in this regard, somebody may be trying to get a duplicate SIM/ steal your credentials like OTP (One time password), confidential details for beneficiary registration etc. Please be cautious.
Never respond to any pop up, email, SMS or phone call, no matter how appealing or official looking, seeking your personal information such as user name, password(s), mobile number, ATM card details, etc. Such communications are sent or created by fraudsters to trick you into parting with your credentials. Do not use Internet Banking Services if your computer is not free of malware (viruses, Trojans, etc.)
