From your registered mobile number, send an SMS in the following format to +917208933148:
WAREG <Your SBI Account Number>
Example: WAREG 12345678901
Step 2: Start Chatting on WhatsApp
Once you receive a successful registration SMS, save the official SBI WhatsApp number: +919022690226 to your phone contacts.
Open WhatsApp, send a simple "Hi" to that number, and the SBI bot will reply with a menu of options!
⚠️ Strict Security Guidelines
- Look for the Green Tick: The official State Bank of India WhatsApp account will ALWAYS have a verified green tick next to its name. If there is no tick, block the number immediately.
- No PIN Required: SBI will never ask you for your ATM PIN, CVV, OTP, or internet banking password on WhatsApp.
- De-registration: If you lose your phone, you can instantly de-register from the service by texting "Hi" to the WhatsApp number and selecting "De-register" from another device.
