ЁЯУМ Important Update Regarding Bank Websites
Kindly note that major Indian banks including State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and others are now shifting from тАЬ.comтАЭ to the more secure тАЬ.bank.inтАЭ domain.
This change is not for branding or marketing, but to protect customers from phishing and fake websites created with minor spelling variations such as:
sbi-onlline.com
hdfcbamk.co.in
axisbannk.net
Such fraudulent domains have previously resulted in significant financial losses for customers who unknowingly entered their login credentials.
To address this, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has directed banks to migrate to the exclusive тАЬ.bank.inтАЭ domain, which can be used only by verified, RBI-regulated banks, ensuring no scammers or fake portals can operate under it.
This is an important security measure aimed at safeguarding digital banking for millions of users.
