Suryoday Small Finance Bank is an Indian bank, based in Navi Mumbai, that offers deposits and loans including microfinance. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be Suryoday Small Finance Bank on phone calls, in apps and on WhatsApp. This page lists the lies they usually tell and how to check before you act.
Lines used in fake Suryoday Small Finance Bank calls and apps
- Caller says an EMI default notice will be filed unless you pay on a new UPI ID
- Fake executive requests a debit card PIN to change the deposit nominee
- WhatsApp number with the bank logo sends an app file to install
- Caller threatens that your account will be closed within the hour
How to verify it yourself
Your real EMI schedule is available in the loan agreement and in the bank's own app, so compare any demand with it. Pay EMIs only through the bank's official payment page or at the branch, not to a new UPI ID mentioned by a caller. A bank will not ask for a card PIN to change a nominee. Take a breath, hang up and open your own banking channel to see whether anything is actually pending.
Quick checklist
- Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
- Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
- Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
- If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.

Questions
A caller says they are from Suryoday Small Finance Bank. Is it real?
Treat it as unverified. Hang up and contact Suryoday Small Finance Bank through its official app or the number printed on your card, bill or official website. Never install an app or share an OTP because a caller asked.
Can Suryoday Small Finance Bank ask me to install an app on a call?
Be very careful. Scammers use screen-sharing and fake apps to watch your screen and read OTPs. Install apps only from the official store listing that you find yourself, never from a link or a caller.
