Bottom Line

Earlier, Yes Bank had an exclusive partnership with MasterCard and therefore Yes Bank credit cards were offered exclusively on the MasterCard payment network. The bank’s credit card business was affected as a result of the RBI imposed embargo on MasterCard that restricted them from onboarding new customers. Like many other card issuers, Yes Bank also joined hands with Visa in September to offer credit cards on their network. Now, Yes Bank has also tied up with India’s home-grown RuPay platform. It will be interesting to see how fruitful this partnership turns out to be, for the bank and for the customers.
