To initiate an account transfer, customers need to log into the bank’s website (www.iob.in) and access the ‘Transfer of Savings Account’ section. After providing the account number, a one-time password will be sent to the customer’s registered mobile number. The customer may specify the desired branch for the transfer of funds. A new page then opens, revealing the account number and the code of the destination branch, confirming the successful transfer, the release added.
