Questions people ask
Do banks in India send KYC update links by SMS or WhatsApp?
Not necessarily. An unsolicited KYC link in an SMS or WhatsApp message is a strong warning sign. Open your bank’s official app or type its official site yourself, or call the number on your card to check.
How do I check if a bank KYC message is genuine?
Ignore the link. Open the bank's official app or type its official website yourself and check for any real notice. A registered sender ID can be a useful clue, but it is not proof. An unexpected message from an ordinary 10-digit number is a warning sign. When in doubt, forward the message to Kaval on WhatsApp.
