Garbage

Stop the lunacy of blocking people from using password managers to login to your app. Clueless SBI IT claims it’s for security! Pathetic!

Illogical validation code in app for adding alphanumeric beneficiary account

If you try adding any beneficiary with an alpha numeric account number, then the app completely stops working. While the app can verify the alpha numeric account and tell you whether it’s correct, it won’t let you add a beneficiary because adding a beneficiary button has unnecessary numeral checks/logic added.

The new version just don’t work

Ever since the new version has come I noticed there is no Mpin, it does not recognise face detection so I have to manually log in each time. After logging in when I open my pass book it shows recording of old transactions only. I earlier used refresh and recent transactions would show but, now it just won’t and when I try to see my other linked account, it just wont open, the existing account and its transaction recordings just wont go. There is a massive glitch in the app making it super inconvinient to use. Time and again I have to go on web through my laptop to check a simple thing or do simple transaction. It is horrible. Please look into it and rectify. Bring the old version back or something coz this one is not working at all.

Stop the lunacy of blocking password managers from filling in username and password fields in your app. It’s moronic!

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.

Deliberate manipulation to inflate reviews

Pre-selecting “Exceptional “ as default rating feels like deliberate manipulation to inflate reviews rather than collect honest user feedback.

Those who designed that should be ashamed.

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!
