State Bank of India has launched YONO 2.0, an upgraded version of its digital banking platform. The app brings together mobile banking and internet banking in one place, with a strong focus on ease of use, faster services, and simpler compliance processes. YONO stands for “You Only Need One”, reflecting SBI’s aim to offer a single platform for multiple banking needs.

What is SBI YONO 2.0?

YONO 2.0 is a redesigned digital platform that allows users to manage their banking activities through a single app. It supports both mobile and net banking and offers access to a wide range of SBI services. One of the key highlights is the simplified KYC and re-KYC process, which reduces repeated verification across different products.

Key Features of the SBI YONO 2.0 App

The updated YONO app allows users to link and manage savings and current accounts from multiple banks on one platform. This means customers with accounts at SBI and other banks can view balances, make payments and track transactions without switching between different apps. This integration helps reduce complexity and saves time for users.

Another important feature is the unified KYC system. Once KYC or re-KYC is completed on YONO, it can be used across various SBI services, avoiding duplication.

Understanding KYC and Re-KYC

KYC, or Know Your Customer, is the process banks use to verify a customer’s identity when an account is opened. Re-KYC is the periodic update of this information to ensure records remain accurate and secure. It helps banks maintain up-to-date contact details and personal information.

As per Reserve Bank of India guidelines, banks are required to carry out re-KYC at regular intervals based on a risk-based approach.

Why Re-KYC Matters

Re-KYC ensures that customer information does not become outdated. It helps banks comply with regulatory requirements and strengthens security by reducing the risk of misuse or fraud.

How to Register on the YONO App

Customers who already have SBI Internet Banking credentials can log in directly to the YONO app using the same details. Those without internet banking can create credentials using their SBI ATM card. If an ATM card is not available, users can generate a reference number through the app and visit a branch to complete registration.

YONO 2.0 aims to simplify digital banking by combining multiple services, banks and compliance processes into one app. With easier KYC, multi-bank access and flexible registration options, SBI’s latest update focuses on convenience and efficiency for customers.
