During this period, SBI customers will not be charged for ATM transactions carried out through ATMs of any bank across the country, irrespective of whether the ATM belongs to SBI or another lender.
The charge waiver is part of SBI’s arrangements to ensure continued access to essential banking services during the proposed strike period.
SBI said banking services will continue to remain available through various channels, including ATMs, YONO, Mobile Banking, Internet Banking and WhatsApp Banking.
Customers will also continue to have access to 24×7 digital payment services such as Unified Payments Interface (UPI), Immediate Payment Service (IMPS), Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) and National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT), the bank said.
SBI’s 24×7 Contact Centre will also remain operational during the period. Customers can contact the bank at 1800 1234 or 1800 2100 for assistance.
Separately, all public sector banks and regional rural banks will function normally on Sunday, September 27, SBI said. The additional working day will allow customers to complete banking requirements ahead of the proposed strike.
The bank said the arrangements are aimed at ensuring that routine banking activities, including cash withdrawals, digital payments and access to customer support, continue during the strike period.
In a post on social media on September 24, SBI said, “Banking doesn’t stop. Your needs don’t have to wait,” while outlining the services that would remain accessible during the proposed strike.
Banking doesn’t stop. Your needs don’t have to wait.
Even during the proposed strike period, SBI continues to keep essential banking services accessible through ATMs, YONO, Internet Banking, Mobile Banking, WhatsApp Banking and 24×7 Contact Centre services.
