SBI Mobile Banking Registration

For those without existing Internet Banking credentials, registering for SBI Mobile Banking is a straightforward process using your ATM card and registered mobile number.

You'll then be guided through a series of steps, which include entering your account number, CIF number, ATM card details, and completing any necessary verification procedures.

Once your registration is approved, you'll receive an activation code via SMS on your registered mobile number. To proceed, send an SMS with the text <MBSREG> to either 9223440000 or 567676. You will then receive a User ID and a default MPIN (Mobile Personal Identification Number) via SMS. Enter this User ID and default MPIN within the SBI mobile banking app to finalize the activation. You'll then be prompted to set your own personalized login MPIN, after which you'll have full access to all the active features of SBI mobile banking.
