In 2018, YES Bank faced regulatory issues when the Reserve Bank of India established a moratorium on it due to fraudulent lending. Since the YES Bank Reconstruction Scheme was executed in March 2020 a revival effort from the bank, it has undergone significant changes to enhance its finances and return to profitability, the bank said, adding that technology has played a huge role in its restructuring process.
The bank owns 43% market share of Unified Payments Interface (UPI), a digital payment gateway system developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and is regulated by RBI. That said, every third transaction happening in India in UPI is through Yes Bank.
