Generate Your SBI Card PIN Without OTP: A Step-by-Step Guide
If you're looking to generate a new SBI Card PIN without using an OTP, the traditional method involves visiting an SBI ATM. This process is straightforward and can be completed with a few simple steps. However, if you encounter any issues or prefer an alternative method, you can also follow another method involving SMS.
How to Generate a New SBI Card PIN Without OTP
To generate a new SBI Card PIN without an OTP, follow these steps:
1. Visit an SBI ATM
The first step is to locate the nearest SBI ATM. These machines are widely available in almost every part of the country.
2. Insert Your Card
Insert your SBI debit or credit card into the ATM. Make sure it is inserted correctly so that the card reads properly.
3. Select Language
You can choose your preferred language for the transaction. This can make the process more comfortable and understandable for you.
4. Enter Your Card PIN
If you do not have an existing PIN, you may need to select the option for PIN generation. This step is crucial for setting up the ATM for the first time or when the current PIN is lost.
5. Choose PIN Generation
Look for the option to generate a new PIN. This option may be labeled differently depending on the ATM, but it usually involves selecting the 'Change PIN' or 'Generate New PIN' option.
6. Follow Instructions
The ATM will guide you through the steps. It may require you to enter your account details or other identification information. Ensure you provide accurate information as any discrepancies may cause issues.
7. Set Your New PIN
Enter your desired new PIN. Confirm it by re-entering the same PIN. The ATM will prompt you to do this for verification purposes.
8. Completion
Once the process is complete, you will receive a confirmation. Your new PIN will be active immediately, allowing you to use it at any SBI ATM or online banking platform.
Alternative Method: SMS Verification
Firstly, why don’t you want to use the OTP? OTP (One-Time Password) is the easiest and most hassle-free way of generating a PIN. However, if you still want to proceed without it, there is another method involving SMS. Here’s what you need to do:
1. Send the SMS
You need to send the following SMS to 567676 through your registered mobile number:
PIN CCCV AAAA
Where CCCC are the last four digits of your account number, and AAAA are the last four digits of your account number.
2. Receive the PIN
Once the SMS is sent, you will receive a new PIN. This PIN is active only for 48 hours.
3. Generate a New PIN
Go to any nearby SBI ATM with the provided PIN and generate a new PIN using the ATM's interface.
Why You May Want to Avoid OTP
While OTP is the simplest method, there may be instances where you prefer not to use it. Some people do not have access to the internet at the time of OTP generation, or they may want to avoid potential security risks associated with OTPs.
Still, if you insist, almost all branches have certain pre-printed kits of ATM PINs which can be mapped to any customer. You need to walk into your home branch and explain to the manager why you don't want to use the OTP. Upon being satisfied with your response and verifying your credentials, the manager will issue you an ATM PIN over the counter which you will have to change immediately to ensure security.
If you encounter any difficulties or need further assistance, don't hesitate to contact SBI customer support or visit your nearest branch. Customer support can provide guidance and support to resolve any issues you may face.
