SBI has the largest network with over 22,000 branches and more than 57,889 ATMs across the country. As of December 31, 2020, it had 85 million internet banking and 19 million mobile banking users. The bank's number of UPI users stood at 135 million at December-end.


Meanwhile, the bank has asked customers to update Know Your Customer (KYC) details until May 31 from the comfort and safety of their homes through mail or postal service to avoid partial freezing of the account.


The decision has been taken amid the lockdown-type measures implemented by several states to contain the spread of Covid-19 infections. 


At present, the bank has 35 million registered users of Yono, the digital lending platform.
