After HDFC Bank, now State Bank of India has launched a chatbot called as 'SBI Intelligent Assistant or SIA.

In case of home loan, it provides information like eligibility, documents required, interest, processing and tenure.

Similar is the case for other category loans.

If you need to make any deposits – this chatbot will serve you with inquiries like eligibility, minimum deposit, maximum deposit, interest rate, payment of interest, tenure, premature payment, nomination facility and TDS.

Other inquiries like festival loan, loan against shares, loan against debentures, loans against mutual fund units, loan against time deposit, loan against mortgage of immovable property, ATM cum debit card, SBI quick and gold loan are also answered through this SIA.
