How To Check Credit Card Balance Axis Bank Through Sms |
But before we embark on this SMS escapade, a word of caution:
- Remember the Force (a.k.a. your registered mobile number): This is crucial, my friend. The SMS won't work with just any random number you can dig up. Make sure it's the one linked to your Axis Bank account, otherwise you might get a reply about a P2P transfer gone wrong (awkward!).
- Don't be a stranger to the code: We're not talking Da Vinci's cipher here, but there is a specific format you need to follow. Just like learning the secret handshake to enter the cool kids' club, it's simple once you know it.
Now, onto the main event!
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.![]()
Step 1: Channel your inner James Bond (minus the Aston Martin)
Open your messaging app and compose a new message. Consider this your mission briefing. The recipient? 5676782. That's your secret agent contact, ready to receive your coded message.
Step 2: Craft your secret message
This is where the magic happens. In the message body, type "BAL" (all caps, no spaces) followed by a space and the last 4 digits of your credit card number. Think of it like your personalized password, except way cooler because it involves credit cards (which are inherently cool, right?).
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.![]()
For example, if your card number ends in 1234, your message would look like this: BAL 1234
Remember, keep it short and sweet. No emojis, no life stories, just the code.

Step 3: Send and receive (your reward!)
Hit send, and wait with bated breath (or just refresh your inbox impatiently). Within moments, you'll receive a reply from your secret agent contact, revealing your current credit card balance.
Ta-da! No more mysteries, no more surprises (hopefully pleasant ones, at least). You're now armed with the knowledge to make informed financial decisions, avoid that awkward "insufficient funds" moment at the checkout, and maybe even impress your friends with your newfound SMS wizardry.
