You can follow the instructions given below for SBI money transfer from one account to another (same branch or other) or other bank accounts like PNB, HDFC, ICICI etc.

Prerequisites for SBI online money transfer

You’d be an active SBI online banking user. If you’re not an internet banking user then read how to activate SBI net banking online without visiting home bank branch.
For SBI online money transfer from your account to other, first of all, you will have to add payee (whom you want to send money) as a beneficiary to your online banking account whether his/her account belongs to SBI Bank or other.

Steps for SBI fund transfer

To make SBI fund transfer whole process more easy for you, I’m going to divide this process into following three parts:

Get payee account details such as name, account number, bank IFSC code etc.
Add payee as a beneficiary to your online account.
SBI online money transfer using appropriate payment methods like IMPS, NEFT, or RTGS.

You can watch above video for SBI money transfer from one account to another or read written instructions.

1. Get payee account details such as name, account number, bank IFSC code etc

First of all, you will have to obtain payee’s (Person whom you want to send money) bank account details such as his name, bank account number, bank IFSC code etc.

Note: Skip #2 step if your already have added the payee to your account.

2. Add payee as a beneficiary to your online banking account

Secondly and most importantly, you will need to approve payee as a beneficiary in your internet banking account. For that purpose, follow the steps given below:

Login to your Online SBI account.
Click on Profile tab.
Click on add beneficiary link.
Enter your profile password.
Click on inter-bank beneficiary if payee account does not belong to SBI bank or choose an appropriate option if payee belongs to other category. Let me help you, read following lines to know which one should you click:
Intra-Bank Beneficiary – Click on this link if beneficiary’s account also belongs to SBI.
Inter-bank Beneficiary – You can opt this option if the beneficiary’s account belongs to other bank like HDFC, ICICI, PNB, IDBI etc.
State Bank Group Beneficiary – If beneficiary is maintaining his/her account in any State Bank Group banks like SBP, SBT, SBBJ, SBH, then you can click on this option. International Beneficiary – Opt this option if beneficiary holds an international account. (Kindly note, the bank has limited overseas branches therefore verify that whether the bank has its branches in concerned country or not.)
Enter payee details and click on approve now button.
In the next step, opt approve through OTP.
Enter OTP received on your registered mobile number then click on approve.
That’s it. Now wait for beneficiary approval, usually it takes one working day to get beneficiary approved.

Don’t have time for beneficiary approval? Then read this tutorial on SBI Quick Transfer which will help you send up to ₹25000 without adding beneficiary in SBI.

Note: For your convenience, I’ve written a separate detailed post on “how to add a beneficiary in SBI Bank to send money online?” You can read that post if you’re facing any difficulty in adding beneficiary.

3. SBI online money transfer

Once your added beneficiary gets approval from your bank, you can send money to him/her using any preferred payment method e.g. IMPS, NEFT, or RTGS. Don’t get confused in payment methods, just follow these instructions:

IMPS: Select it for SBI fund transfer between ₹1 to ₹2Lacs.
NEFT: Select it if you want to transfer any amount between ₹1 to ₹10Lacs.
RTGS: This payment method can be used to send minimum ₹10Lacs to any amount.

Note: For amount up to ₹2Lacs, you can use IMPS or NEFT. It’s totally your choice.
