How to Update Your Network to Banking System If Not Receiving OTP?

Have you ever switched your cellular network to stick with your clients on the same line & get a better network & bundles from a different network provider? and having the same number registered with the Internet Banking of your financial institution. Yes, I have done that when I came back from Malaysia & Decided to convert my Ufone Sim to Zong to get better network Coverage & after successful conversion from Ufone to Zong I noticed that I'm not receiving OTP (One-time-pin/password) while using my debit card online.  


After a bit of research on the web, I learned that I have to update my Simcard network in Financial Institution's Banking System to receive OTP again. It's very easy to update if you are dealing with one financial institution, but if you have more than one account, it may be time-consuming to update them one by one.
