Yes Bank to expand retail business

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 23 Januari 2014 | 21.03

Private-sector lender Yes Bank is working on a plan to re-balance its business model by broad-basing the portfolio towards retail banking, its Group President and Country Head Amit Kumar has said.

Yes Bank, which has taken its balance sheet size to over Rs 1,00,000 crore, depends on large corporates for 66 percent of its business.

About 15 percent of its portfolio comprises the mid-segment and 17 percent belongs to small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

"Over a period of time, we are getting equally focused on SMEs and retail banking directionally. We want to see our business portfolio coming 33 percent each from large corporates, mid-segments and SMEs," Kumar said on the sidelines of the India Engineering Sourcing Show (IESS) here.

The bank also wants to re-balance its resources of deposits. The bank gets about 20 percent of its deposits from the Current Account Savings Account (CASA). Kumar said: "We want to take CASA from 20 percent to 35-40 percent in the next 12-18 months."

CASA is considered to be the most cost effective source of  bank deposits since the rate of interest paid on CASA remains around 6 percent against over 8 percent in time deposits. Some of the well-run peers of Yes Bank have CASA up to 40 percent and the Rana Kapoor-led bank would also like to tap this channel.

Kumar said even though the CASA rates remain around 6 percent, "for me, it is still cheaper replacing wholesale funding which costs between 8.5-9 percent."

For its deposits mobilisation, Yes Bank has also tapped cost effective foreign currency resources. In all, the bank has managed to raise USD 400 million in different tranches of the swap window recently provided by the Reserve Bank.

It has also raised USD 105 mil lion from the International Finance Corporation for lending to SMEs, Kumar said.

He said most of the SMEs which are being serviced by Yes Bank are in any case part of the value chain along with the large corporate clients of the bank. "They are the distributors/suppliers of our large corporate clients."

Some of the 'sunrise' sectors for the bank include life-sciences, information technology, pharmaceutical, FMCG and parts of engineering.

"These sectors have remained relatively insulated from the stress that is seen in the banking sector," Kumar said.
