What is a CIF Number in an SBI Account?
The CIF number is an 11-digit number unique to every SBI customer. It acts as a digital file containing your personal and account-related information. This number is often required for tasks like account transfers, loan applications, and more.
While both the CIF number and the account number are essential for banking operations, they serve different purposes. Your account number is specific to a single bank account and is used for transactions like deposits and withdrawals. In contrast, the CIF number is unique to you as a customer and links all your accounts under one profile in the bank’s database. Even if you have multiple accounts in SBI, they all share the same CIF number.
