A charge on your YES Bank credit card you don't recognise. A refund that hasn't come back, rewards that never credited, or a fee that shouldn't be there. You've raised it with YES Bank customer care, and it's still open.

YES Bank has a three-level grievance process, and its complaint page lists an email and phone number for every level. Here's how to raise a YES Bank credit card complaint and escalate it, step by step.

How to raise a YES Bank credit card complaint: step by step

Step 1 (Level 1): Contact YES Bank customer care

  • Call: 1800 103 1212 for credit cards (toll-free for mobiles and landlines in India), or +91 22 5079 5101 from outside India

  • Email: yestouch@yes.bank.in

  • Online: YES Bank's online Query/Complaint form

  • Branch: speak to your branch manager

YES Bank's grievance redressal policy says it normally takes up to 7 working days to respond to a complaint. Keep your complaint number; you'll need it to escalate.

Step 2 (Level 2): Escalate to the Grievance Redressal Officer

If you're not satisfied with the resolution, contact YES Bank's Grievance Redressal Officer (Head – Grievance Redressal), quoting your previous complaint number:

  • Email: head.grievanceredressal@yes.bank.in

  • Phone: 022-50795173

  • Post: Head – Grievance Redressal, YES BANK Limited, YES BANK House, Off Western Express Highway, Santacruz East, Mumbai – 400055

YES Bank also publishes a list of area-wise Nodal Officers on its website.

Step 3 (Level 3): Escalate to the Principal Nodal Officer

If the resolution at Level 2 doesn't meet your expectations, write to YES Bank's Principal Nodal Officer, quoting your previous complaint number:

  • Email: principal.nodalofficer@yes.bank.in

  • Phone: 022-50795174

  • Post: Principal Nodal Officer, YES BANK Limited, YES BANK House, Off Western Express Highway, Santacruz East, Mumbai – 400055

If YES Bank decides to reject your complaint fully or partly, RBI rules require its Internal Ombudsman to review it before the final reply. That happens inside the bank; you don't need to apply for it.

Step 4: Go to the RBI Ombudsman

YES Bank's complaint page says that if your grievance isn't addressed within 30 days, you can take it to the RBI Ombudsman:

  • Online: cms.rbi.org.in, where you can also track your complaint

  • Email: crpc@rbi.org.in

  • Help line (not for filing): 14448

Note: YES Bank's page still refers to the 2021 Ombudsman scheme. The 2026 scheme applies to complaints from 1 July 2026, so you must file within 90 days of the bank's timeline expiring or its last reply, whichever is later. It's free, and you don't need a lawyer or an agent.

If you have a YES Bank card through Kiwi

Cards like the YES Bank Klick RuPay card are issued by YES Bank and used through the Kiwi app. Issues with the card itself (charges, disputes, fraud, closure) go through YES Bank's process above. Issues with the Kiwi app, like rewards shown in the app, go to Kiwi's support first.
