@TheOfficialSBI yono is showing like this for the last 2-3days. But I don't know the technical team is busy with which deed!! It should be resolved asap. SBI is not going to compansate for the irrelevant server problem. pic.twitter.com/cirDuZvTNA

I truly don't understand the point of having UPI as an option for SBI accounts because the server is ALWAYS BUSY. There's literally no point having gpay linked to your SBI accs. I'm changing my bank ig??
