Got new SBI Debit Card? Check how to Activate Online Transaction on Your ATM Card

The State Bank of India issues ATM/Debit cards to its customers in many circumstances including if someone has lost their debit card, if the existing debit card has expired or if the debit card was blocked for an illegal transaction.

The State Bank of India has over 40 crore customers. The bank issues ATM/Debit cards to its customers in many circumstances including if someone has lost their debit card, if the existing debit card has expired or if the debit card was blocked for an illegal transaction. The State Bank of India debit cards now come with advanced security measures and it's not possible for anyone to misuse your new ATM card. Since the card comes without a PIN/password, you are required to set up a pin for your ATM card using net banking, the nearest ATM or telephone banking service. However, you can only choose the first two digits of the four-digit pin as the bank selects the next two-digit for you. Now, even if you have set up a four-digit PIN, keep in mind that you can use it for ATM cash withdrawals and not for online/POS transactions.
