Canara bank has given me the worst user experience, as an NRI account holder. OTPs are never sent when expected. This app is a joke, coz I have been sending sms to register but it keeps failing asking to send the message from registered mobile number. That’s what I’ve been doing ALL ALONG. Very poor quality of software, I keep seeing a lot of bugs in the UI. Wonder who develops and maintains this application. I’m tempted to move to another bank.
