Suppose you live in a place where you have a SBI branch nearby but the SBI branch where you have your account is far away. Now, if you want to transfer your account to the nearest branch offline, you have to keep a long time in hand as you have to visit the branch physically and also you need the documents and also keep in mind the long queue.
But, following the process described in this section you can transfer your account to the nearest SBI branch just sitting at home.
Now I have said a lot about what this post is about, let us come to the point. The transfer request can be placed both using Internet Banking as well and Yono mobile banking application. We would be discussing both the processes here.
**Please note only savings accounts can be transferred online.
