Looking for your bank’s WhatsApp banking number? This directory covers six major Indian banks, with a direct link to each bank’s own service page. Check the number against the official source before you start a chat. A saved contact name is not an independent identity check.
Numbers and source-page instructions checked on 22 September 2026.

How to start: registration differs by bank
SBI: Send Hi and follow OTP authentication. HDFC Bank: Send Hi or Register from your bank-registered mobile; its instructions describe customer-ID and OTP verification.
ICICI Bank: Send Hi from your registered mobile. Axis Bank: Send Hi to begin. Bank of Baroda: Save the number and send Hi. PNB: Send Hi or Hello from your registered mobile. Follow the bank’s prompts for the service you need.
If registration fails, check the linked bank page and contact the bank through its official support channels. Do not assume every bank uses the same registration process or that every error has the same cause.
Three checks before using a number
1. Match every digit. Open the bank’s official source above. Recheck when you return to this directory later, because service details can change.
2. Read the registration instructions. Use the correct bank-registered mobile number where required, and distinguish authentication you initiated from a caller asking you to hand over a code.
3. Verify unexpected requests independently. A forwarded message, profile picture or saved name does not establish who is contacting you. Use the support details on the bank’s website if anything seems wrong.
Why there is no single badge-colour rule here
When checked, SBI and Bank of Baroda’s pages described a blue verified-business badge, while HDFC and Axis pages described a green tick. This is a difference in their published guidance; we have not tested each live WhatsApp account. Match the official number and follow the bank’s instructions rather than treating a colour alone as conclusive.
Protect your information
SBI’s cybersecurity guidance recommends protecting your phone, avoiding unknown links and apps, and not sharing OTPs, ATM PINs or CVVs over the phone. If your banking access is compromised, contact your bank through its official channels.

Frequently asked questions
Is one number used by every bank? No. The six banks listed here publish different service numbers.
Are all services free? Check the bank’s current service and transaction terms. A free chat service does not establish that every product or transaction accessed through it is free; mobile data charges may also apply.
Can non-customers use these services? Some banks, including ICICI and Axis, offer limited information services to non-customers. Access to account information depends on the bank’s eligibility and authentication rules.
How we checked this directory
PaisaSeekho compared the numbers and starting instructions on the six linked bank pages on 22 September 2026. This was a review of public documentation, not a test using customer accounts. Inclusion is not a bank endorsement or a guarantee of security. We do not collect account details or authentication codes through this directory.
