Gold Silver Reports (GSR) – Yes Bank Received Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) Approval to open Two offices in London and Singapore – YES BANK’s international foray to expand services to the NRI population living in London and Singapore.
As part of its international expansion, YES Bank had opened its first overseas office in Abu Dhabi in 2015 followed by the debut of IFSC Banking Unit (IBU) at GIFT City, Gandhinagar in the same year. YES Bank’s IBU continues to be the largest operational IBU with a $2.5-billion balance sheet supported by the bank’s maiden MTN issue of $600 million in 2018.
Rana Kapoor, MD & CEO, YES Bank, said, “The two new global financial and technology hubs would also act as a perfect platform for servicing YES Bank’s existing global client base in addition to providing networking coverage for the bank’s large investor community in these parts of the world.”
Singapore is a key financial hub in South East Asia for capital market – debt and equity. It also provides deep funding capabilities.
