Enter your details
You will be logged in and than on the left drop down options you would have the option of "Generate or Reset PIN"
Click there and set your PIN - that is basically activation of your card as this PIN would only be utilized during the PHYSICAL SWIPE Transactions.
This SHOULD enable your card for ANY ONLINE Transactions!
Also for all ONLINE Transactions - SBI prefers to send the OTP on the registered mobile number irrespective of the transaction amount!!
Not sure if above helps you!
Thanks a ton ..makes sense. I have already created the online account. I just did the pin reset/creation online.
But am facing the same issue on online transactions. Maybe I need to wait an hour or so before I would be able to use the card for online purchases
