How to Disable or Enable Wi-Fi payment system of SBI Bank ATM card?

 

The State Bank of India (SBI) recently announced an option to enable ‘contactless’ debit card services. Under this facility, an SBI debit card does not need to enter the PIN number while making transactions at Point of Sales (POS) terminals like restaurants, Shopping malls etc.

How does SBI's ‘contactless’ debit card work?

A customer can make electronic payments simply by waving the contactless card near the POS terminal; this will also ensure that the card is always in the customer's custody.

At Near-Field Communication (NFC) terminals, the PIN will not be required if the NFC-enabled card is being used for payments of up to Rs.5,000. This feature is available on RuPay, MasterCard and Visa variants of SBI's Global International Debit Cards.

 

How to activate this feature?

There are two ways to activate SBI's contactless debit card system, one Net Banking or YONO Apps and another SMS system.

Via SMS:

Those who hold SBI's Global International Debit Cards can send an SMS to 09223966666 with the text ‘SWON NFC CCCC’ (without quotes). To switch off the facility, drop a message on the same number with the text ‘SWOFF NFC CCCCC’. Note: CCCCC last 5 digits of your card
