Punjab National Bank (PNB) has issued an essential update for its customers regarding Know Your Customer (KYC) updates. Customers are required to complete their KYC updates by March 26, 2025, to avoid any disruptions in transactions. Those who have not updated their KYC by March 31, 2024, are at risk of having their accounts blocked. Updating KYC is crucial as it confirms a customer’s identity and address, protecting against financial crimes like fraud and money laundering.
Failing to update KYC can lead to issues with transactions, and customers may face problems with their accounts becoming dormant. To avoid this, customers can update their KYC by submitting necessary documents, including proof of identity, proof of address, and a photo. This can be done online through PNB One, email, or post. Customers can check their KYC status through the PNB One app, the bank’s website, or a visit to a nearby branch.
It is also important to be cautious of KYC-related scams and to avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading files from unauthorized sources. The bank has warned customers about these scams and has emphasized the importance of completing the KYC update on time to ensure a seamless banking experience. With this update, PNB is ensuring customer safety and security, while also cooperating with regulatory requirements. As a result, it is crucial for PNB customers to prioritize this update to avoid any inconvenience.
