Hey @Shruti_Desai

We appreciate your time over the call. As discussed, we regret to inform you that we will unfortunately not be able to complete the offline or online Re-KYC process at the moment, as you do not have access to your registered mobile number. :mobile_phone:

Please note that the Re-KYC process requires OTP verification, which is triggered only on the registered mobile number linked to your account. Hence, in order to complete your Re-KYC and get your account reactivated successfully, we kindly request you to visit the nearest SBM Bank branch. :bank:

The bank team will assist you further with the process and help you complete the required formalities promptly. We truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this regard. If you need any further assistance from our end, please feel free to write back — we’re always here to help. :blush:

Hi everyone,

I need some help regarding my SBM Bank (Niyo) Re-KYC. I’m currently outside India, so I can’t visit a branch to complete the process.

My account was working fine until last week, but now I’m unable to make any transactions.

Has anyone faced the same issue while living abroad? Were you able to complete the Re-KYC remotely and get your account working again? Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I have tested my card again. I was able to complete a trial transaction and an online payment successfully, so my account appears to be active.

However, in-store card payments in Malta are still being declined, while online transactions work without any issues.

I was also unable to answer your call because it was during my working hours.

If you need to contact me by phone, I would appreciate it if you could inform me in advance or schedule the call beforehand, as I may be at work and unable to answer unexpected calls.

Could you please investigate whether there is any restriction on POS/contactless or international in-store transactions on my card?
