This action is based on some material concerns we observed about the way we engage our customers on this mobile application. Further participation of the Bank’s customers on the ‘Bob World’ application will be subject to rectification of the deficiencies observed to the satisfaction of RBI and strengthening of related processes by the Bank. The bank has been directed to ensure that already connected ‘Bob World’ customers do not face any inconvenience due to this suspension.
