Method 3: Change from ATM like this
If you want, you can also change your mobile number from your ATM. But for this, you should also have the old number, which you have already registered with the bank. If the old number is not active, then you will not be able to change your number through it. To change the number through an ATM, you will first need to enter your PIN. After this the option of mobile number change has to be selected. After this an OTP will come on your registered number which you have to enter in the ATM.

It is necessary to link the current number with the account
Nowadays many banking frauds are happening through fake mobile numbers. If you act lax, it is possible that cyber thugs can vacate your entire account. In such a situation, if the mobile number you had given at the time of account opening and it is now closed, then the mobile number you are running should be registered with the bank immediately. With this, you will know immediately whatever money is coming or going in your account. Also you will be saved from fraud.
