Here is a step-by-step guide for activating the E-Rupee (retail CBDC) wallet in SBI.

Registration

  1. To begin, clients must log in to the SBI app on their mobile devices and choose the terms and conditions for activating CBDC.
  2. The app will ask the user to pick the sim card (if the phone has two) that is tied to the existing bank account.
  3. The app will validate the SIM card and offer the user the option of creating an app PIN for the E-Rupee Wallet.
  4. The user must next input his or her name.
  5. The app will then send a recovery code, which will safeguard the e-Rupee wallet. This recovery code is critical and should be kept secure since it will assist the user in recovering his or her e-wallet in the future if the need arises.
  6. The user will next be prompted to create a six-digit wallet PIN.
  7. The app will then alert you that the e-Rupee wallet has been established successfully. The e-Rupee Wallet, however, is still not connected to the user’s current bank account.
  8. At this point, the app will prompt the consumer to choose between a basic wallet, an Aadhar KYC wallet, or linking his or her current SBI account to the wallet for a complete KYC wallet.
  9. When a client links his or her current SBI account to the e-Rupee Wallet, the app will retrieve information from his or her existing bank and request that he submits his or her debit or ATM card data (the last six numbers of the card and the expiration date) for KYC verification.
  10. Following that, the customer’s current SBI account will be successfully connected to the SBI e-Rupee (retail CBDC) Wallet.

Transacting through SBI e-wallet

  1. The app will then take the user to the e-Rupee webpage, where he or she may transmit, collect, load, or redeem his or her e-Rupee.
  2. The denominations of the digital notes will be Rs 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 2,000. To make payments, the user may also load coins.
  3. Assume the consumer wishes to make an Rs. 75 digital payment. Before depositing money into his or her e-Rupee Wallet, he or she must first select Rs 50, Rs 20 twice, and a Rs 5 e-coin.
  4. After entering the six-digit Wallet PIN, the money will be successfully loaded into the e-Rupee Wallet.
  5. Following that, the user may continue with the payment. By clicking on the wallet tab in the upper right-hand corner of the dashboard, the user may also view the total amount and the denomination of the currency.
  6. The user may also use the six-digit Wallet PIN to return the digital cash to his associated account.

Guide to use the Yes Bank E-Rupee (Retail CBDC) Wallet

According to a news statement issued by Yes Bank on December 2, 2022, the bank implemented RBI’s Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) for its closed user group (CUG), which includes retail customers and businesses. Yes Bank is one of four banks that the RBI chose to participate in the first pilot of its digital currency for the retail sector.

Yes bank retail consumers who are CUG members will get a digital rupee app. Customers may conduct transactions in digital rupees by using Yes Bank’s simple and secure digital wallet.

The digital rupee wallet will work similarly to a traditional wallet, but in digital form, and will be available for download on Android-powered devices.

Customers may use the digital rupee wallet to pay businesses and people participating in the CUG pilot. Customers can make the payments to retailers by scanning a unique QR code present at each merchant’s touchpoint. To take part in this digital payment journey and activate their wallet, a chosen few consumers will need to download the Yes Bank Digital Rupee wallet using the online link supplied by the bank.

CBDC will be provided as an additional payment option in current payment systems. According to the RBI’s concept note, the digital rupee will boost India’s digital economy, increase financial inclusion, and improve the efficiency of the monetary and payment systems.

The government will not have to shoulder the expense of actual cash with CBDC. The digital rupee will also foster payment innovation.
