This planned international expansion comes on the back of YES BANK's first representative office in Abu Dhabi, inaugurated in April 2015 and the highly successful debut of IFSC Banking Unit (IBU) at GIFT City, Gandhinagar launched in the same year. YES BANK's IBU continues to be the largest operational IBU with Balance Sheet size of over USD 2.5 Billion supported by the Bank's maiden MTN issue of USD 600 Million in 2018.

Commenting on the announcement Mr. Rana Kapoor, MD & CEO, YES BANK, said, "This is a significant development in the overall augmentation of YES BANK's business model and will help in further diversification & expansion of financial services to the NRI diaspora. Opening of Representative Offices in key financial and trade hubs like London and Singapore, in addition to our existing office in Abu Dhabi, gives us an effective coverage for most key global geographies and demonstrates our commitment to grow our footprint in the international banking space. 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 and for capital market - debt and equity and provides deep USD funding capabilities. Numerous Multinational Corporations (MNCs) have established Regional Head-Offices in Singapore, and the country also hosts over 6,000 Indian companies that have taken advantage of the Singapore launch-pad for trade in South East Asia.
