SBI new rule: With the waiving off of SMS charges, customers can now do transactions without paying any additional charges using the USSD services.

State Bank of India (SBI), the country’s largest lender, has decided to waive SMS charges on mobile fund transfers. With the waiving off of SMS charges, customers can now do transactions without paying any additional charges using the USSD services, the bank said in a Twitter post.

By using mobile banking with the *99# code, users can access basic banking services like fund transfers and account statements without a smartphone or Internet connection.

This service works on feature phones, the bank said.

Services that can be availed through the service include: sending money, requesting money, checking account balance, getting mini statement, and changing UPI PIN.

USSD is a service that can be used to transfer money, check account balance, generate bank statements, and many other things.

In another development, SBI has hiked the benchmark prime lending rate by 70 basis points. With the increase, the revised rate is now 13.45 percent.
