Originally launched in 2017 in India, YONO has connected with younger customers by combining mobile banking and lifestyle. Therefore, SBI has decided to take YONO global and it is starting with the UK.
Available on the App Store and Google Play, YONO SBI UK is an enhanced mobile app. Also, it allows customers to carry out almost every banking need.
Customers can make UK money transfers or payments, as well as remittances to India. In addition, the remittances are available 24/7 with enticing exchange rates. Account opening via the digital banking app is set to be a service soon.
Furthermore, the app allows customers with accounts at both SBI UK and SBI in India to see both accounts in one app. Customers can also change their address, email, and mobile numbers online.
