SBI UPI, YONO & Internet Banking Services To Remain Shut On This day: Here’s Why

All Indian banks are required to undertake scheduled maintenance services in order to keep their banking services functioning smoothly. This prevents sudden repairs and failures of their net banking or mobile banking services. The maintenance work is completed by giving customers a deadline and, if completed successfully, maintains utmost functionality and availability of their banking-related services to better standards.

As a result of this, the country's largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) has alerted its customers regarding scheduled maintenance tasks. Internet Banking, YONO, YONO Lite, and UPI services would be unavailable during the scheduled maintenance, according to a tweet from the bank. The hours when the State Bank of India's internet banking services would be unavailable are mentioned below.

The bank has said via its Twitter handle that "In order to provide enhanced customer experience and security, we are preponing our system upgrade activities and it will now be done between 02.00 hrs to 03.00 hrs on 10th October 2021 (60 minutes). During this period, Internet banking / YONO / YONO Lite / YONO Business / UPI / E-Pay / ATM Services will be unavailable."

The bank has further added that "We regret the inconvenience caused and request you to bear with us."

As an important update, SBI has also warned its customers against "Do not be deceived by offer of Free rewards! Think before you Act. Stay alert."

SBI has urged its customers to not fall prey to frauds who are asking you to accept free gifts, free cashback, free products, free coupons, or free access to your personal credentials.
