If you want to unblock SBI Credit Card or to reactivate a temporarily blocked card, you can do so by calling SBI Credit Card Customer Care Number.
1860-180-1290 or (STD Code) 39020202
SBI Card will never allow you to unblock a lost or stolen credit card. However, you can unblock a card that was blocked due to other reasons such as suspicious amounts charged on the card, non-payment of several consecutive bills or going over the allowed credit limit.
Also, if your SBI Credit Card has been blocked due to usage over the assigned limit, you can unblock it by paying off your balance to bring it below the assigned credit limit. If there is other reason for a blocked SBI Card, you must contact customer support.
To reactivate your SBI Card account that is temporarily put on hold, call on the SBI credit card customer care number. Alternatively, you can send a request via email, by logging into your SBI Card account. SBI Card will fulfil certain formalities and follow applicable policies. Afterwards, it will reactivate your SBI card account.
