Bank Passbook: Customers who keep their bank account passbooks updated can see their Bank of India (BOI) passbook to check their account balance. Since the passbook keeps a record of both the debit and credit transactions, an account holder can see his complete account statement right from the day of account opening using a passbook. For each passbook update, the customer needs to visit the bank branch. This method of balance enquiry has fallen out of favour since the internet-savvy customers now want to check their account balance using more convenient options.

ATM: BOI account holders can do a Bank of India Account Balance Check by visiting a Bank of India ATM. It is a fairly simple process. Here are the steps to follow:

Swipe the ATM card in the machine
Use the 4-digit ATM PIN
Choose the “Balance Enquiry” option
Complete the transaction

To check their last few transactions in the account, they can carry out the same steps and use the Mini Statement option. The ATM will print a receipt containing the details of the last 10 account transactions.

BOI account holders can also visit non-BOI ATM or third party ATM service to check their account balance. Since the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has limited the number of free transactions per ATM card, use this service wisely if you do not want to pay the transaction charges. If you choose this option from a non-BOI ATM, the charges might be higher.

Net Banking: Bank of India Account holders that have registered for net banking can use their net banking login id and password to log into the BOI website. The net banking and mobile banking credentials are the same. The bank’s website offers a range of banking facilities to its customers including Bank of India account balance check, account statement, funds transfer, etc.

Mobile Banking: BOI offers StarConnect mobile banking services to both its national as well as international customers. Customers can use their mobile phones to receive account balance via SMS. The three main BOI apps are BOI BTM, BOI StarToken, and BOI StarGlobal. One of the reasons why customers must check their account balance online is because it is convenient and free of cost. The ATM transactions are chargeable after a certain limit and it is better to use those transactions to carry out cash withdrawal.

Here are the ways in which BOI account holders can check their account balance using their mobile phones:
