The customer will receive the One-time password (OTP) on his / her mobile number registered with the Bank. OTP is a system-generated numeric string of characters that authenticates the user for a single transaction.
The facility will not involve any major change in the process of withdrawing cash from State Bank ATMs.
This facility will not be applicable for transactions, where a State Bank card holder withdraws cash from another bank’s ATM, because this functionality has not been developed in National Financial Switch (NFS).
In this process, once the cardholder enters the amount they wish to withdraw, the ATM screen displays the OTP screen. The customer has to input / punch the OTP received on his mobile number registered with the Bank in this screen for getting the cash.
This additional authentication factor will protect the card holders of State Bank from unauthorized ATM cash withdrawals.
