how to transfer money from SBI ATM

2012-04-20T23:20:00.001-07:00

If you want to transfer money from one SBI account to another though a state bank ATM, there is no option to transfer directly to a bank account. Instead you can use the card to card transfer. In card to card transfer the money in your account is transferred to any state bank group debit card. This is equivalent to transferring to another bank account.

To use this facility when you swipe your card you will see several options. On the right bottom side of the screen you can see transfer. Select the option and you will be asked to enter the PIN number. Enter the PIN and you can see the card to card transfer option and select it. You will be asked to enter the card number twice. Then you will be asked to enter the amount. Then you need to select your account type ( Checking or Savings ). The recipient’s account will be credited immediately and the service is free.

All ATM cum debit card holders of the state bank group can avail the above facilities.

Happy Banking:)
