Recently I opened a savings account with Bank of baroda on 24 feb. They opened account within a few minutes and said that your account will be activated soon and your debit card and cheque book will reach your home within 7 working days then after I can collect my passbook from branch.
Then on 29 feb I got my cheque book and on 2 March I got my debit card through bluedart(unbelievable) later on 4 March I got my pin number also.
I was surprised to see my debit card as it was Visa platinum with EMV Chip, other bank are issuing Rupay card.
(I also have a sbi rupay card which in my case was not working online even after many complaints. I stopped using my sbi account due to poor service and response, server mostly down at peak hours)
Then I went to bank of baroda website and registered for internet banking( no need to visit branch and fill forms for this). I have got my net banking activated. Everything went very smooth and I am quite happy with the services.
