Hi I have been trying to do the vkyc for almost 15days now, every day I try to use the link and wait indefinitely for some agent to join, but no one shows up. I need to add funds to the SBM account so I can use it in my abroad stay. This is ridiculous.

Hello Team,

Same happened with me also, I tried yesterday and faced error for OTP generation, when contacted with Customer care it was communicated that due to Oct 2 Public Holiday this is happening. Now I am trying since morning, OTP generation is successful but no one is coming on video KYC, none of the option either with “connect with agent” or scheduling an appointment.
I cant keep waiting whole day for this.

Team, I tried reaching out to the customer care using the email-id provided, they have closed the ecase#SR1141807 asking for a screenshot.

I dont understand what kind of a joke is this asking for a screenshot. Dont you know that the link is not at all opening for the SBM customers abroad?

My issues is that the reKYC link doesnot even open from abroad.

Please help me complete my video kyc

I have kept a lump sum amount in my Niyo account to make payments later. Now I get to know my account has been frozen due to non-KYC. I am in UK so I can’t even access their VKYC link. I shared all required KYC documents over email. It has been more than 10 days. Niyo says they have shared the documents with SBM bank and only they can do something. SBM bank is not responding. It’s like they don’t even care. I am really disappointed with Niyo and SBM. What can I do to get my money back?

Hello,

I am a student currently studying in France, and my account is frozen. I am unable to make payments, and it always asks me to do reKyc. I cannot go back to India because of my schedule. Please tell me an alternative. I am here in France at least until the end of 2025.

Please do something as soon as possible, I have hardly eaten anything with my food supplies about to end.
