Security Meets Simplicity: The Power of Video-KYC

The Video-KYC process prioritizes both security and ease of use. Here's what customers need to know:

* The Process: The process is designed to be user-friendly. Customers simply visit the Bank of Maharashtra website, navigate to the VCIP section, choose their preferred language, and follow the prompt, "I want to open a new account via VKYC." This includes agreeing to terms and conditions, providing basic information, and scheduling a video call at their convenience.

* Two-Factor Authentication: During the video call, the bank executive guides customers through verification process, which includes confirming a reference number sent to the customer's linked mobile number. This two-factor authentication ensures a secure and transparent experience. Once the live KYC verification is complete, accounts activation typically occurs within 24 hours.

Account Activation and Beyond: A World of Banking Convenience

Once the account is live, customers then gain access to a wide range of banking products and services through the bank's internet banking platform and the MahaMobile app. From receiving an ATM/debit card to managing finances online, Video-KYC accounts empower customers to bank entirely from their fingertips.
