State Bank of India (SBI) has extended its OTP-based cash withdrawal service to 24×7. Withdrawal of Rs 10,000 and above across all SBI ATMs in the country through OTP authentication has been extended to throughout the day effective September 18, 2020. For withdrawing Rs 10,000 and above, SBI debit card holders now have to enter OTP sent on their registered mobile numbers along with their debit card PIN each time.
Note that in order to safeguard their customers from fraudsters and scammers, SBI had introduced OTP based cash withdrawals of above Rs 10,000 between 8 pm-8 am through SBI ATMs from January 1, 2020. The OTP is a system-generated numeric string of characters that authenticates the user for a single transaction.
