State Bank of India (SBI) has recently launched the WhatsApp banking service for its customers. The SBI WhatsApp banking services can be used to check the account balance and mini-statement. In the mini-statement, the bank will provide information of the last five transactions.
The bank is offering a host of banking services to its customers via WhatsApp. The bank said in a tweet that customers can check their account balance and get mini statements via WhatsApp.
This new service enables SBI bank account holders to check their account balance and mini statement, including detailed information on the previous five transactions via the messaging service. SBI customers, including senior citizens, will be able to access the majority of their banking services through the instant messaging app WhatsApp, which will eliminate the need to wait in line for minor banking-related tasks.
