In a joint account, all account holders are entitled to register, as users of OnlineSBI, but transactions would be permitted based on the account operation rights recorded at the branch. (To begin with the services will be extended only to single or Joint E or S accounts only).
All accounts at the branch whether or not listed in the registration form, will be available on the OnlineSBI. However the applicant has the option to selectively view the accounts on the OnlineSBI.
