TLDR: Now HDFC Bank App Will Require SMS/SIM Verification
Dear Customer,
At HDFC Bank, our commitment is to provide a banking experience that is both best-in-class and customised to meet your specific needs. We are excited to announce significant enhancements to the HDFC Bank MobileBanking App, which is designed to elevate your banking experience with the utmost convenience and security.
We have over 3.6 crore customers already experiencing the convenience of 150+ secure transactions through our App. Some of the key features include:
Easy Login and Quick Money Transfers: Utilize IMPS, UPI, NEFT, and other methods for swift transfers.
Effortless Bill Payments: Simplify your bill payments with our user-friendly interface.
Comprehensive Card Management: Full control over your cards, conveniently managed.
Smart Account Opening: An effortless and streamlined process to open new accounts.
EVA ChatBot Support: AI-powered assistance, available 24/7 for your queries.
Security Enhancements: Ensuring your financial safety remains our utmost priority. We are dedicated to enhancing the security measures for safeguarding your accounts and transactions. Over the past year, we introduced advanced security measures such as Device Binding – allowing access only from a trusted device, and RASP (Runtime Application Security Protection) to counter frauds via remote control apps, data breaches, and screen mirroring.
Continuing in this direction, we will soon be introducing Mobile Number Verification as a pivotal addition in the forthcoming upgraded version of the Mobile Banking App. This feature ensures access to your MobileBanking App only through the device having SIM card of your bank-registered mobile number. This enhancement significantly fortifies protection against cyber threats and further strengthens the security of your account.
Preparing for the Update:
Ensure the SIM card of your bank-registered mobile number is in your MobileBanking device.
Maintain an active SMS subscription for mobile number verification.
After updating the app, have your Debit Card details or NetBanking password ready for one-time authentication.
Please treat this communication as an advance notice regarding our upcoming MobileBanking App security enhancement.
I was putting hehe reaction. When i refreshed, i saw that I've also received the same mail.
I used to keep one number for bank otp which I don't give to anybody. Only kept to get otp. Now I have to do regular recharge or change my mobile number.
I used to do 119 for 14 days in jio. And recharge again within 90days after end of validity to keep the number active. 😅.
6-7 months ago they stopped it . So now I do 149/20days plan.

Last update was 30th October, I thought they will introduce some new UI, but if they added only sim verification after 4 months of hard work then they really are hopeless bank 🤣.
