Dont use the Balance Inquiry app on your smartphone: RBI
Mumbai: Cautioning public about bank account detail enquiry application purportedly developed by RBI, the central bank on April 11 said it has not developed such app and bank customers using the platform are doing that at their own risk.
In a statement, the Reserve Bank said that it has come to its notice that an app (application) "is doing rounds on What's App purportedly to facilitate checking of balance in customers' bank accounts."
The application has an RBI logo with the title 'All Bank Balance Enquiry No' and has listed several banks with either a mobile number or call centre number, it further said.
"The Reserve Bank wishes to clarify that it has not developed any such application. Members of public are, therefore, advised to use the application, if at all, at their own risk," the release added.
