Polaris Bank Limited Recharge Code
Before Polaris bank introduced the Banking Smart Codes, customers had to visit the ATM or download the mobile app in order to recharge from their account; however, those options have so many limitations.

But before you start, you need to first of all register by dialing *833# and following the on-screen instructions.

- To recharge for yourself, dial *833*AMOUNT# from your phone line registered with Polaris Bank.
- To recharge for someone else or a number not linked to your Polaris Bank account, dial *833*AMOUNT*PHONE NUMBER# (e.g. *833*100*08001234567#) .
