LoungeKey is an airport lounge program providing access to over 1,100 lounges across more than 300 cities globally.

Bottom Line

After RBI’s ban on the Mastercard network, the YES Bank’s credit card services were affected to some extent, but in record time the bank has shifted its credit card portfolio to the Visa Network so that the customers can continue availing of its services. Visa already had a strong relationship with the bank, which has now been extended and it seems that the partnership is going to give great and rewarding results to the cardholders. Also, we suggest our readers to apply for the Yes Bank premium cards and take benefit of the lifetime free offer.
