Anyone opened BOB BRO Account recently?

[Ecoli8]

Dear TFFam,
Anyone opened the newly launched BOB BRO account recently? The account has many free perks and definitely features as a lucrative offer for students.
However though they said free Rupay Platinum DC for life, still charged a issuance charges of ₹354. Currently having a dispute with their grievance cell. Anybody here faced the same situation?

Ya I checked, it's removed.

Tried to reset UPI PIN using Virtual DC and it worked flawlessly. You can ask your brother to try it once.

Sure thing. Thank you!

Do you know how to check the account variant in Netbanking? I just want to confirm whether they opened "BOB Lite" or anything else. Can't find this information anywhere I checked in Netbanking.

Thank you.

You can find it in bobworld app. I don't use the INB much because of how ugly it is visually.

currently the app is down so can't share you the steps. but if I recall the steps are as follows - view all accounts -> click on your savings account.

@CosmicCat here is the updated steps - login into bobworld app -> view all accounts -> click on total balance shown within a skin color box -> click on your account number. Then you will be shown the scheme of the account.​

I agree with you. It has one of the worst UX I've ever seen!

Moreover, their email servers are extremely slow too, and what's worse is the dependence of email OTPs for most operations. For instance, I was trying to add a beneficiary in netbanking. To confirm it, I needed to enter a six-digit OTP, wherein the first three digits were sent to the registered mobile number, and the next three digits were sent to the registered email address. While I got the mobile OTP instantly, I am still waiting for the email OTP for the past 15 minutes! In the meanwhile, the session timed out and it logged out.

Even yesterday, the emails were coming with a delay of upto 1 hour.

Ab kya bolun inhe?

Transactional messages come 1/2 hour late to me whereas the OTP's are instant.

I would personally suggest using Bobworld, it's a breeze to add a beneficiary using it. Only Mobile OTP is needed and it comes instantly.

You can now activate bobworld app

Damn, in order to activate the bob World app, I need the physical debit card, too. Can't set it up otherwise. It seems I have no other option but to wait until it is delivered.

@ritwik2000 and @doraemon — Do you remember how long it took for the physical debit card to be dispatched? (I had already checked the debit card option in the application process.)

True that! I checked a few videos about adding a beneficiary from about 2 years ago, and back then yeh sab cholse nahi hua karte thhe. They simply used to send all the digits on mobile.

1. Have they charged issuance fees of ₹354 for the RuPay Platinum Debit Card?

2. Were you charged for SMS alerts so far?

There is a option to active bobworld using internet banking portal. I forgot my INB password and on doing forget password the email otp is not coming on time. So cant share the exact steps.


The card will come within 10 days. My welcome kit got dispatched on 1st April. I opened my account on 27th March.

Open a minor pan card and then apply because through online pan card is mandatory.
