Got questions? We’ve got answers.

What is video KYC?

Video KYC, or Video Customer Identification Process (V-CIP), is a digital method for face-to-face identity verification through a video call conducted by a bank's KYC Agent. Tt is considered equivalent to full-KYC, providing a convenient way to open your account from anywhere.

If there are connectivity issues or other disruptions, the bank agent will mark your Video-KYC as pending and resend the link to complete the process. Alternatively, you can retry by visiting the bank’s website, entering your mobile number and email ID to receive an OTP, and proceed to the Video KYC screen.

Ensure a stable internet connection and use a device like a desktop, laptop or mobile with a camera and microphone. Provide access to your location and camera, have your mobile number linked to Aadhaar along with your PAN card, Aadhaar card, a white paper and a blue pen.

You or anyone else can deposit money using your account number, IFSC code, or UPI. Withdrawals are possible through debit card, cheque book, cardless withdrawal, or online transfers after completing Video KYC. You can also visit a bank branch for cash withdrawals.

To open this account online, initiate the process through Aadhaar OTP-based E-KYC. After opening the account, you can immediately call our Video KYC agent or schedule a call during working hours (10 am to 5 pm) to convert your account to your preferred SB account scheme. Upon successful validation through Video KYC, your account will be activated and upgraded. A welcome kit from Karnataka Bank will be sent to your registered mailing address once the full KYC process is complete.

Enjoy a 4.5% per annum with the SB Instant Savings Account.

A savings account is designed for individuals who want to save money and earn interest on their deposits. In contrast, a current account is geared towards businesses and individuals who require frequent and high-volume transactions without interest earnings. Current accounts often come with facilities like overdrafts to accommodate the fluid nature of business transactions.

Your savings account earns interest by applying the annual interest rate to the daily collected balance in your account. The interest is usually compounded quarterly and credited to your account, contributing to the growth of your savings over time.

The MAB for your SB Instant Savings Account is calculated by adding the closing balance of each day in a month, then dividing that total by the number of days in the month. This figure represents the average balance you've maintained throughout the month.
