24/7 customer supportPlease click here for all the options to contact the bank for various issues and escalations
Security featuresChip and PIN technology – security for offline transactions : In the past, credit cards typically used a magnetic stripe located on the back of the card to store and transact data. However, the latest generation of credit cards includes a CHIP and PIN feature, which provides enhanced security. Only you know your PIN, so even if your card is lost, it is unlikely to be misused since BOTH the physical card and the PIN must be spent on the card.

Two-factor authentication – security for online transactions : When making an online transaction, you approve your online transaction by using a One-time Password (OTP) you get on your mobile phone. Since only you know the OTP, the card is unlikely to be misused unless someone has access to BOTH your card details AND your mobile phone. This ensures a safe online purchase experience.

SMS alerts and notifications – for both offline and online transactions : For your peace of mind, you get free SMS alerts and notifications for all your SBI Yatra card transactions. Hence you will know about all transactions on your card. In the unlikely scenario of misusing your SBI Yatra card, you would still get these alerts and notifications – which will help you immediately block your credit card.
Contactless paymentLook for the contactless network symbol on your card to determine if your credit card is contactless. In India, contactless payments are allowed for a maximum of ₹5000 for a single transaction without requiring a Credit Card PIN. For transactions equal to or higher than ₹5000, the cardholder must input their Credit Card PIN for security reasons.
