SBI offers various methods to generate the Green PIN which should be in turn used to generate the actual PIN.

What are Green PINs?

Generating a PIN while using ATM is not a risk-free exercise. The banks send PINs through PIN Mailers. If the PIN mailers get delayed or damaged, the banks have to resend the PIN. Also, in some cases, the customers need to visit the bank branch in order to complete the process. To maintain secrecy, PINs are hidden within the scratch-off panels. It makes it difficult for miscreants to get the original PIN.

To do away with this, banks have come up with Green PINs. Using this, they can generate the PIN by themselves. They no longer need to visit bank branches to do so. And the process is completely paperless, hence the name ‘Green’. The step helps in cutting down the need for more personnel. Bank employees can focus on their regular work ad customers can have a seamless experience at their convenience.

Additionally, this feature also reduces carbon footprint and provides substantial cost savings for the bank.
