Yes Bank partners with Northern Arc Capital
Jun-16-2026

Yes Bank and Northern Arc Capital have entered a partnership to expand access to credit, scale digital lending and provide debt investment opportunities for its customers. This brings together balance-sheet strength, digital infrastructure, distribution capabilities, underwriting expertise, and technology platforms to expand formal credit access across underserved segments in India, in line with the Government of India’s Financial Inclusion agenda towards fulfilling the Viksit Bharat vision of 2047. 

This strategic partnership is an outcome of the bank’s collaboration with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC), the largest strategic shareholder in YES BANK and a key shareholder in Northern Arc Capital. SMBC has helped bring together two complementary platforms with strong synergies across origination, distribution, technology and balance-sheet capacity. This marks first of many synergistic collaborations designed to accelerate Yes Bank’s and Northern Arc’s growth journey.

Northern Arc will leverage its network of 368 Originator Partners (financial institutions) to facilitate substantial credit deployment for Yes Bank through its Placements Business. This partnership will provide Yes Bank access to a diversified pipeline of granular credit opportunities sourced from Northern Arc's established ecosystem of lending partners. By combining Northern Arc's origination and structuring expertise with Yes Bank's lending capacity, the initiative is expected to strengthen the flow of formal credit to underserved borrower segments while supporting scalable and responsible credit expansion.

As part of the agreement, Northern Arc Investment Managers (NAIM), a wholly owned subsidiary of Northern Arc Capital, will offer Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) & PMS services to YES BANK's retail, affluent, and institutional investors.

Yes Bank is a publicly held bank engaged in providing a wide range of products, services, and digital solutions, catering to Retail, MSME, and corporate clients.
