How to Add a Nominee for SBI Fixed Deposit

SBI is India’s biggest bank, allowing users to digitally assign nominees to their SBI account from their home or office. That means SBI Bank customers no longer need to visit their local branch to update the nominee’s data.

State Bank of India offers customers a nomination option for savings accounts, lockers, and safe deposit vaults. The nomination service is only accessible for accounts created independently, individually, jointly, or with a single proprietary business.

The account holder may create, cancel, or modify the nomination anytime. All account holders must approve the request before making a nomination, cancellation, or change. SBI advises current and new customers to utilize the nomination service if they haven’t already done so. If the depositor does not intend to make a nomination, they must state so on the account opening form.

What is SBI’s Nomination Facility?

Nomination is a service provided to depositors. It permits a bank account holder to choose a person to receive the account’s assets in the case of the depositor’s unexpected passing or death. Nomination is accessible at the State Bank of India for deposit accounts. Only one individual may be nominated.

How Can you add a Nominee to your SBI Account?
