- Now you have almost registered on PNB mobile banking app. To finish the process, you will be required to set two passwords, login password and transaction password, for you online account. You will use login password to get access to your online account and transaction password to access sensitive information and fund transfer. Note: Both passwords should contain number, letters (uppercase and lowercase) and special characters for example Sunil@123. And transaction password should be different from login.
- Once you fill in your passwords, tap on Submit.
- Ta da! You have successfully completed Punjab National Bank internet banking registration. On the next page, you will be able to see your username. Jot it down and tap on 'SIGN IN'.

Now, visit PNB net banking website and click on Retail Banking.
Enter your customer number, written on your bank passbook, and hit Continue button.
Click on 'Forgot password?' link and in the next page enter your customer ID again. Then press Submit button.
