State Bank of IndiaSBI Merchant Payments — SBI Payments & YONO SBI Merchant

SBI-linked merchants that want QR/UPI, contactless card acceptance and merchant reporting through the SBI Payments stack, with separate POS or AudioBox options where commercially onboarded.

SBI Payments positions YONO SBI Merchant as a low-cost acceptance route, while POS/AudioBox/device pricing and MDR remain governed by the merchant product and agreement. AudioBox material states that installation fees and monthly rental may apply, so no universal free-device or zero-MDR promise is inferred.

State Bank of India

SBI Merchant Payments — SBI Payments & YONO SBI Merchant

  • SBI Payments merchant acceptance is separately onboarded; an SBI current account or YONO Business registration does not automatically include POS, AudioBox or every merchant feature.
  • Device rental, installation charges, MDR and other commercial terms can differ by merchant product and agreement; promotional low-cost wording is not converted into a universal zero-fee claim.
  • Auto-settlement is recorded as a supported feature, but no universal T+0/T+1 clock is inferred where the current primary page does not state one.
Bank of Baroda

Bank of Baroda Merchant Payments — bob World Merchant

  • The ₹56/₹57/₹60 monthly figures apply only to the three current UPI QR Sound Box variants and must not be reused as POS or gateway pricing.
  • Soundbox has no installation charge under the reviewed page, but POS/gateway/MDR and other merchant economics follow their own terms.
  • Gateway and POS accept different rails and have different integration/dispute requirements; the engine does not merge them into one generic fee or settlement SLA.
