SBI Revolutionizes NRI Banking: Digital NRE/NRO Account Setup via YONO
In a groundbreaking move, the State Bank of India (SBI), the country’s largest lender, has launched a cutting-edge digital platform for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to seamlessly open NRE (Non-Residential External) and NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) savings and current accounts. This innovative service is specifically tailored to “new to bank” (NTB) customers, aiming to simplify and expedite the account opening procedure.
NRE Account: A Non-Residential External (NRE) account is established in India under the NRI’s name to house their foreign earnings securely.
NRO Account: Conversely, a Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO) account is opened in India in the NRI’s name to manage income earned within the country, such as rent, dividends, pensions, interest, and more.
SBI has harnessed the power of technology to create a seamless and digitized account opening process that guarantees efficiency and precision, effectively serving as a comprehensive solution for NRI banking needs.
For added convenience and transparency, SBI’s NRI customers can monitor the status of their account opening application in real-time, providing them with insights at every step of the process.
