The Online Oracle: For the tech-savvy soul, SBI's website is your portal to statement heaven.

Your statement awaits, ready to be downloaded and perused at your leisure.

The Snail Mail Snail: If you prefer the tactile sensation of paper (and the thrill of waiting by the mailbox), stick to the good old-fashioned postal route. Just make sure your billing address is up-to-date, or your statement might go on an unintended adventure.
