SBI Customers Alert! 5 Methods to Block Your SBI ATM-Cum-Debit Card

If a person loses his or her SBI ATM-cum-debit card, it's a smart option to get the card disabled so that no money is taken out of the account. Customers of the State Bank of India (SBI) can block their SBI ATM/debit card via phone calls, SMS, internet banking, and the SBI Quick mobile application.

You can block an SBI debit card in the following ways:

Via SMS

Send an SMS to 567676 from your registered mobile number with the text 'BLOCKspace>last four digits of the card'.

Via IVR system

• Call on 1800 112 211 

• Press 2 to block the SBI card.

• To block the card, enter the last 5 digits of the account number.

• Under the "e-Services" menu, click the "ATM Card Services>Block ATM Card" option

• Choose the account where you want to block your ATM or Debit Card.
