WhatsApp has become the go-to socialising platform for most people these days. Many people have started using WhatsApp payments for making online transactions to their contacts. The social messaging application will soon be used by State Bank of India (SBI) customers.
SBI has announced plans to introduce WhatsApp-based banking to its customers. The announcement was made by SBI chairman Dinesh Khara while launching some retail initiatives. The chairman mentioned plans to launch an Application Programming Interface (API) banking to aggregators and corporate clients.

Notably, API Banking is a system as part of which API’s (a way for two or more computer programs to communicate with each other) are used to improve communication between bank and client servers. The system ensures smooth data transfer and encourages secured integration between the customer and the bank’s systems.
Once the SBI introduces WhatsApp Banking, bank customers will be able to use the social application to conduct variety of banking transactions.
SBI credit card customers can still use WhatsApp for certain banking transactions. These include checking outstanding account balance, reward points, account summary, card payments among others.
