New Delhi: YES Bank entered into a partnership with Visa to issue credit cards to its customers on the payment platform, said the leading private sector bank in a recent statement. With the partnership, Yes Bank will begin the issuance of nine credit card variants – both consumer and commercial, on Visa’s payment network.
It consists of nine credit card variants on the Visa platform that service all segments, including business cards, consumer cards, and corporate cards across YES Premia, YES First, and YES Prosperity, according to the statement by the full service commercial bank. The transition has been achieved within less than 60 days, for the convenience of customers across segments.
The Visa co-branded cards offer loyalty programs, under which the reward points never expire and can also be transferred or shared to the credit card holders of YES Bank.

‘’Keeping in mind the varied consumers, businesses and corporate clients that the bank caters to, Visa aims to help expand access and enable inclusion to digital payments across these segment,’’ added Raina.
YES Bank is also in the process of completing a technology integration with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and plans to issue Rupay branded credit cards at a later stage.
