How to Activate Fednet (Federal Bank Internet Banking)?

FedNet, the premium Internet Banking facility from Federal Bank, comes to you free, at the same time with lots of user conveniences and tight security features. As soon as your FedNet application is processed, a PIN Mailer will be couriered to you and your account will be enabled for VIEWING facility. However to have your account enabled for Transaction facility, it has to be activated either by acknowledging the PIN Mailer or by soft activation.

Activation by Acknowledgment

To acknowledge the PIN Mailer, sign the acknowledgment portion and send it to Federal Bank Central Processing Centre, in the addressed and postage paid envelope provided. The acknowledgment should be signed by the applicant himself and his signature should match Federal Bank records.

For joint accounts, the joint account holders would have already submitted a mandate (authorizing any one of them to operate the account through FedNet, singly) along with the FedNet application. In this case, the mandate holder should sign the acknowledgment.

By any chance, if you misplaced the acknowledgment portion of the PIN Mailer, you can also send us a letter in the following format:

---

[advt]From: (Name & Address)

CPC – FedNet Division,
Municipal building,
First Floor, Palace Road, Aluva-683101,     Kerala state, India.

I acknowledge the receipt of the FedNet user id & password. I agree with the terms & condition governing the issue of password.
