Is net banking (SBI) safe in India

[The Conqueror]

Sorry for bumping this old thread.

I have activated internet banking on my SBI account.
But whenever I am trying to do online shopping (from various websites), its saying 'Transaction Failed'.

At first I thought that they havent given me transaction rights, but the bank officer says that transaction rights and all other requested services have already been activated on my account.

I have tried buying items from ebay, homeshop18, indiatimes shopping, tata docomo etc.

Please help me if anyone know the solution.

Check whether you have the necessary amount in your account for the concerned transaction. Most likely, transaction fails due to insufficient balance.

I do SBI net banking on regular basis...no problem....when paying online use 'net banking'

But I think u didnt register your mobile from the ATM...1st do that so that SBI can send you password to validate your shopping...and keep that mobile at the time of online shopping

go to any sbi atm and register your mobile no.

I already did that but no SMS even after 3 month.
But I got account update through SMS at the same mobile no from when I created my account.
Very strange.
May be SBI change the 3D secure process.....

Yes, it s safe, if you are going to follow important instruction given by your bank.

I am using net banking from last 3 years.

Never use Net banking in any public computer.

SBI had kept my account as minor.
Now they have changed it and I am able to do online banking.

And you are happy about it?

 

[power_8383]

Obviously !
But why are you asking this ?

 

[Vyom]

Well, I "assumed" everybody would be happy to do online banking.
Silly me.

Oh sorry, I didn't notice that I had written 'unable' instead of 'able'.
