Biggest bank of India but pathetic app

The app has stone age like user interface with one of the worst customer experience. If I switch between other apps, this app abruptly logs me out. And then I cannot login as the log-off link was not clicked.
--- update ---
This app is so old school that I cannot take screen shot of error! And I don't have time to send you bucket list of info you are asking in writing..

Improvements needed

The app is beautifully designed. There are many issues faced like for joint account holder CKYC number is being asked for virtual debit card. I have my CKYC number, but there is no way to put it and to validate it. All the app does is to ask to go to Branch, which is totally downside for a mobile banking app. A mobile banking app should be standalone app and a replacement for the Branch itself. There is a lot of scope to grow for this app and be adult. Please stop asking to go to Branch and find alternate ways to solve problems through mobile banking only. Also NEFT IMPS etc charges are not displayed we see blank pages.

Cannot apply for IPO after creation of new application portal

Till sometime ago, I could apply for IPO using YONO Lite app without any issues. The process was fairly easy and quick. However, ever since a new lage has been created for submitting applications for IPO, the process has become a nightmare. I don’t see an option to select cut-off price for the bid, nor could I fill in the number of shares applied for. Despite repeated attempts, I couldn’t succeed. Finally, I had to log-in to internet banking page and complete the application. I would request the developer to look into and rectify the issue.

Useless

God awful. Absolutely useless - especially for NRIs. How does one of the largest banks in a software powerhouse nation put out nonsense like this.

Reliable and Easy-to-Use Banking App!

YONO Lite SBI is a great app for everyday banking. It’s fast, secure, and simple to use, with all the essential features right at your fingertips—checking balances, transferring funds, paying bills, and much more. The interface is clean and user-friendly, and transactions go through smoothly every time. I also appreciate the strong security measures and regular updates that keep the app running flawlessly. A must-have for all SBI customers who prefer quick and convenient digital banking!

Worst app

India IT is working so hard for foreign banks. But SBI can’t use the same talent to fix their own app. But it comes with big advantage. The best secure app, even the actual user can’t login to the app.

Unreasonable App Restriction Affects Usability

I rely on TeamViewer for essential work-related tasks and am fully aware that it is installed on my device. However, the YONO app refuses to launch solely because of TeamViewer’s presence. While it’s understandable to alert users about potential risks, completely blocking access is unreasonable—especially when legitimate business tools are involved.

Users should be given the choice to proceed, not forced to uninstall necessary software. As a result, I ended up uninstalling both YONO and YONO Lite. This has been the worst mobile banking experience I’ve had with SBI.

There are better approaches—ICICI’s iMobile app, for example, notifies me about TeamViewer and allows me to proceed with my consent. SBI must seriously rethink this approach and implement a more user-centric solution—blocking access entirely is simply not acceptable in today’s digital banking environment.

Dear Customer, to enhance security, you will not be able to use app if remote controlled apps like Any desk ,TeamViewer etc. are installed in the device. Kindly uninstall the same to continue using Yono Lite app. If any issue persist, request you to share your registered mobile no, device and error msg details for analysis & also share the steps you followed on the app at feedback.statebankanywhere@sbi.co.in.

I can’t even log in and it always says `we can’t complete your request now’.I am using updated version of this app and still can’t access and i even reset password
