Where money is involved, you don’t want to take any chances. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) puts this thought at the forefront with the .bank.in domain migration mandate. This move ensures you only interact with verified and licensed banks for all financial solutions. As banks migrate to .bank.in domain, mobile banking is part of the transition. The banking app migration lets you confidently transact without worrying about authenticity. You can avoid second-guessing and falling prey to cyber fraud. Learn how this works in this blog.

Uninterrupted access to banking services after the .bank.in app migration
 

Banks are required to complete the .bank.in domain migration by 31st Oct, 2025. When this happens, nothing much changes in terms of how you use the banks’ portal or mobile banking apps. The infrastructure of banking portals and apps gets an upgrade, and you can continue using them without disruption.

As banks progress through .bank.in app migration, you can ensure you have uninterrupted access to banking services, with these steps:

· Update your banking app

It’s always a good practice to ensure you are using an updated version of the app. With the .bank.in app migration, this becomes even more important. Make sure you have an updated version of the app post transition to embrace the security enhancement.  

· Use official app stores only

Use only official app stores like Google Play or the Apple App Store to update your banking app. Avoid using any links to download or update your banking app. Banks will never send you any links to do so.

· Watch for notifications

When you receive any notifications from your bank, check whether they come from your bank's official handle. Also, check whether the domain has changed from .com to .in when you receive updates.

· No need to uninstall your app

Banking app migration does not require you to reinstall or re-register on your banking app. You simply need to keep your app active as you normally do and make sure it is updated. The migration has more to do with the process the bank must go through, and not you.

· Stay alert but not alarmed

As the main changes take place behind the scenes, you will not likely notice any major changes in your mobile banking app’s functionality after the banking app migration. Only the URL will update to bank.in.

Impact on auto-payments and recurring transactions
 

The .bank.in app migration is designed to be seamless. The domain registration and needed support from the Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT) ensure your auto-pay setups remain uninterrupted. Your recurring payments like, monthly utility bills, streaming subscriptions, loan EMIs, credit card payments, etc., will also progress as usual.

You need not update your payment information to align with the migration. Your bank will take care that all financial services, including auto-payments and recurring payments, transition smoothly with the migration.

Notifications and alerts: What changes
 

You will continue to receive notifications and alerts about your transactions, login activities, password reset attempts, and other banking updates, etc. The only change is that they will come from a more secure and trusted domain identity. You can check the website domain to ensure it is updated and coming from your bank. This way, you can easily identify any fraudsters impersonating your bank and sending you suspicious offers and links.

Conclusion
 

The banking app migration effects on banking apps are directed towards making your banking experience safer. There is no impact on the functionality and how you interact with mobile banking. You gain peace of mind with every transaction, knowing that it comes from a trusted domain.

IDFC FIRST Bank has already migrated to www.idfcfirst.bank.in so you can bank with confidence.
