Introduction:

The State Bank of India (SBI), a leading state-owned bank in India, has revamped its banking services to enhance customer convenience. With the latest features in Internet banking, customers can now activate their ATM-cum-Debit cards without needing to visit a branch. This online feature adds ease by saving valuable time for the customers. This guide explains how to generate an ATM Pin in SBI using online net banking.

Traditionally, a new ATM cardholder had to visit a bank branch to receive their activation pin. But, in today's busy lifestyle, that's often a challenge. SBI’s internet banking allows customers to generate their ATM pins from any location. Here’s how:

1. Navigate to the SBI website and log into your Internet banking account with your user id and password.
2. Under 'e-Services', find 'ATM Card Services'. This section offers options like blocking an ATM card, requesting a new one, setting ATM card limits, changing or generating a new ATM pin. These services facilitate quick and easy banking activities.

Steps to Generate ATM PIN SBI Online:

1. Go to the official SBI portal, https://onlinesbi.com, and log in using your user id and password.
2. Once logged in, go to the 'e-Services' section and select 'ATM Card Services' from the sidebar.
3. Select 'ATM Pin Generation'. You'll need to verify your access by choosing either the Profile Password or OTP (one-time password) option. An OTP will be sent to your registered mobile.
4. Enter your profile password and hit 'submit'.
5. If you have multiple linked accounts, select the desired one and click 'continue'.
6. The next screen displays the activated cards for that account. Choose the card requiring a pin and click 'submit'. If it's not listed, check under 'New Cards'.

Note: There is a service charge of Rs. 51 for changing the ATM pin via online SBI.

7. You'll be asked to enter the first two digits of your preferred pin. After this, SBI sends the remaining digits to your mobile.
8. Enter the final two digits received on your phone and click 'submit'. Your ATM card will now be activated for numerous online transactions and services.

This straightforward process allows customers to generate ATM PINs from their homes, making branch visits unnecessary. Look forward to more articles that explore convenient banking services.
