NRI Cannot use

Registration requires local Indian SIM card with active SMS service. Either SBI must stop NRI services or fire the developers who are deliberately discriminating against NRIs.

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!

Registration not working

For past 4 days I’m trying to register and login NRO/NRI account, message is getting send as next step when try to login always show try later.

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.

Can be improved further

Sometimes after sending SMS it asks for login credentials and then fails always especially for nri outside of India.
Rest it is just ok.

Recent update

It messed up the login. Looks ugly and not working. IOS version asking to
android version

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.

Garbage

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

Not working

Why not open this app I phone 7 plus
Please fix this issue

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.
