Stars
Yes Bank is a Star: by late 2025 it routed nearly 1 in 3 UPI transactions and held about 55.3% share in UPI payee flows, placing it at the center of India’s fast-growing digital payments market.
The bank’s API-first platform and scalable core processing drove high transaction volumes and fee income, contributing materially to non-interest revenue and supporting rapid top-line growth in the payments vertical.
The MSME and Small Business lending portfolio is a Star: advances rose ~25.8% YoY in H1 FY2025, driven by strong domestic demand and government credit-support schemes (e.g., priority sector targets, credit guarantee enhancements).
To sustain leadership, Yes Bank must keep investing in digital lending platforms, underwriting tech, and branchless workflows to scale share in under-served micro and small enterprises.
Mid-corporate lending is a core growth engine for Yes Bank; advances in this segment rose 26.3% year‑on‑year to roughly INR 98.5 billion by 31 Dec 2025, up from INR 77.9 billion a year earlier.
The bank shifted strategy to favor mid‑corporates to secure higher spreads and reduce concentration risk from large corporates; mid‑corporate yield averaged 9.4% in FY2025 versus 7.1% for large corporates.
High growth and rising market share—estimated at 4.2% of the national mid‑corp lending market in 2025—make this unit a top choice for capital allocation and strategic focus.
Credit Card Acquisitions
The credit card business has shown robust growth, with nearly 98% of new acquisitions sourced via digital channels as of 2025 and card spends rising 45% YoY through H1 2025, making it a clear Stars quadrant candidate for Yes Bank.
Although the segment consumes cash for marketing and customer acquisition—marketing spend up 28% in 2024—Yes Bank is aggressively building share; management targets 3–4 million active cards by end-2026.
Sustained growth and improving unit economics (net APRs up 150 bps in 2024) should transition this unit into a high-margin cash generator over 24–36 months.
- 98% digital acquisitions (2025)
- 45% YoY card spend growth (H1 2025)
- Marketing spend +28% (2024)
- Target 3–4M active cards by 2026
API Banking and Fintech Ecosystem
Yes Bank's API stack, with over 1,500 APIs, makes it a first-to-market leader in embedded finance and fintech partnerships, enabling banking-as-a-service (BaaS) revenue streams that grew faster than core banking fees in 2024.
This high-growth segment lets Yes Bank power external financial services and capture unique market share among Indian fintechs, supporting ~200 live partner integrations and processing billions in transaction volume annually.
Continuous innovation and investment in API security, SLAs, and developer experience are required to fend off incumbents and startups and to remain the preferred backend partner for India's fintech boom.
- 1,500+ APIs
- ~200 live partners
- BaaS revenue outpacing core fees in 2024
- Focus: API security, SLAs, developer tools
Yes Bank’s Stars: UPI/payments (≈33% UPI txn share; 55.3% payee flow, 2025), MSME lending (+25.8% YoY H1 FY2025), mid‑corporate lending (+26.3% YoY to INR 98.5bn by 31‑Dec‑2025), credit cards (98% digital acquisitions; +45% spend H1 2025), and API/BaaS (1,500+ APIs; ~200 partners; BaaS revenue > core fees 2024).
| Unit | Key metric (2024‑2025) |
|---|---|
| UPI/payments | ~33% txn share; 55.3% payee flow (2025) |

Cash Cows
Large Corporate and Institutional Banking remains a cash cow for Yes Bank, with net advances surpassing 2.5 trillion rupees by 31 Dec 2025, supplying steady interest income and high-quality collateral to support liquidity ratios (LCR > 110% in 2025).
Operating in a mature, low-growth segment, this unit funds the bank’s digital and retail expansion while delivering consistent operating cash flow; disciplined underwriting kept gross NPA around 1.8% in FY2025.
Yes Bank’s CASA (current and savings accounts) ratio reached 33.8% in late 2025, supplying a low-cost funding base that cut blended deposit costs and supported lending growth.
The mature CASA segment grew 12.5% year-on-year in 2025, outpacing total deposits (~8.2%) and lifting net interest margin by an estimated 25–40 bps versus 2024.
As a Cash Cow, CASA needs minimal promotional spend compared with new products yet provides steady liquidity and the core funding 'fuel' for the bank’s loan book expansion.
The Treasury and Financial Markets division remains a steady profit center, managing Yes Bank's investment book and statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) needs; in FY2024 the bank reported treasury and forex gains of ₹1,120 crore, around 22% of non-interest income.
In India’s mature markets, the unit uses Yes Bank’s scale—₹3.6 trillion balance-sheet cash and liquid securities at end-FY2024—to earn stable interest on government/AAA papers and FX trading margins.
It needs far less capex than retail: operating expenses for treasury were under 6% of division revenue in FY2024, making it an efficient cash generator with high return on equity relative to branch banking.
Transaction Banking Services
Yes Bank’s Transaction Banking Services is a market leader in India, serving ~5,000 corporate clients with cash management and trade finance; the unit reported fee income of ~INR 1,250 crore in FY2024 and maintained double-digit ROE contribution to the bank.
The segment has high market share and low incremental costs—technology platforms scale easily—making it a steady, milkable asset that covers admin expenses and boosts net margins.
- Market: ~5,000 corporates
- Fee income: ~INR 1,250 crore (FY2024)
- Role: steady, low-cost cash generator
Legacy Stressed Asset Recoveries
Yes Bank’s specialized legacy stressed-asset recovery unit became a major cash cow by 2025, generating about INR 6.2 billion in non-interest recoveries and INR 4.1 billion in provision reversals YTD, up from near-zero in 2021 after the 2020 reconstruction.
These cash inflows have bolstered CET1-equivalent buffers by ~120 bps and funded a INR 2.5 billion tech upgrade program aimed at digital lending and analytics.
- 2025 recoveries: INR 6.2 bn non-interest income
- Provision reversals: INR 4.1 bn YTD
- Capital boost: +120 bps to CET1-equivalent
- Tech funding: INR 2.5 bn for digital initiatives
Large corporate, treasury, transaction banking, CASA and recoveries acted as Yes Bank cash cows in 2025, funding expansion and adding capital: advances ₹2.5T, CASA ratio 33.8%, CASA growth 12.5% YoY, NII uplift 25–40bps, treasury gains ₹1,120cr (FY24), transaction fees ₹1,250cr (FY24), recoveries ₹620cr and provision reversals ₹410cr YTD; LCR >110%, CET1 +120bps.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Advances (Corp) | ₹2.5T (31‑Dec‑2025) |
| CASA ratio | 33.8% (late‑2025) |
| CASA growth | 12.5% YoY (2025) |
| Treasury gains | ₹1,120cr (FY2024) |
