The bank will also power the industry’s first UPI based education fees payments through the tie-up with Instafeez. Capital Float, a digital finance company, will be utilizing Yes Bank’s UPI mechanism to collect payments from their SME borrowers.
 
The private bank is also engaging with merchants on various other genres including cab aggregation, mutual funds, insurance and other B2B use cases.
