What it's worth to you, after the fee

Not valued. We can't value this card until the issuer publishes how it earns — every net-value number here would be a fee subtracted from rewards nobody has described. Everything we can source — the fee, the charges, the migration that put this card in your hand — is above and stands on its own; this card is simply not on the board, not in the calculator, and cannot win a best-of call until YES Bank publishes terms we can cite.

Why #580 A business card carried, not ranked. It is on this board for one number: 2.50% on foreign currency, a full point under India's 3.5% norm, on a card that costs nothing and never will. For a company paying AWS, Google Cloud and a SaaS stack in dollars that is the whole product. It earns no points and opens no lounge door, and the "rewards" are software vouchers.

The take

The YES BANK RazorpayX Purchase Credit Card is a payables rail with one number on it that matters to a reader of this desk: foreign currency costs 2.50%, printed in the card's own fee table, against the 3.50% YES charges on its plain Prosperity Purchase card in the very same schedule. A full percentage point, on a card with no joining fee and no annual fee in either year. For a company whose international spend is AWS, Google Cloud, Freshworks and a stack of dollar subscriptions — which is precisely the company RazorpayX sells to — that one point is the entire product, and it compounds against nothing because the card is free. Everything else is procurement plumbing, and good plumbing. Up to 45 days of interest-free credit. Corporate name embossing. Merchant-category and acquirer-level controls, per-card daily and per-transaction limits, an international on/off switch, SMS and email alerts, and a Corporate Assist Desk instead of the consumer credit-card line. The rewards, such as they are, are software vouchers through PoshVine rather than points: up to 90% off Freshworks, up to $5,000 of Google Cloud credits, six months of Notion. Useful to a startup, worth nothing on a spend curve, and not a reward RATE — YES's own fee table says "Reward Redemption Fee Not Applicable". The mechanics are corporate, so read them as such. The Minimum Amount Due is 100% of the Total Amount Due: this card does not revolve, it goes overdue, and overdue costs 3.75% a month — 45% a year — from the transaction date. Cash advance is not available at all. Rental payments carry a fee of at least 1% and are capped at three transactions per 30 days. And you cannot simply apply: the card is issued against a RazorpayX-powered current account, which makes it unavailable to any business not already on Razorpay. One number we will not print: RazorpayX's own comparison page advertises "Flat 1% Cashback" on this card. YES publishes no such rate anywhere, and its rewards section describes vouchers instead. This desk settles a disagreement against the issuer, so the card is carried without an earn rate until YES states one.

Your renewal — keep, downgrade or cancel

There is no renewal arithmetic to run on this card yet — and a break-even we cannot source is not one we will print.

Keep, downgrade or cancel

what we can and cannot price

Not valued. We can't value this card until the issuer publishes how it earns — every net-value number here would be a fee subtracted from rewards nobody has described. A break-even is the spend at which value crosses a fee, and we are short one side of that sentence — so this desk prints no ladder, no crossing and no ₹0 standing in for either. What we can source about this card is under Sources.

The downgrade

YES Bank publishes no document naming a card you can step down to, so we name none — an invented product change is a phone call you would waste. That leaves keep or cancel, and we cannot price either side of it.

If you call to cancel

What the bank offers to keep you is the one fact this desk cannot compute. We are collecting those reports — dated, and only in aggregate — before publishing any: an offer one reader was made is not one you are owed. Called about this card? Tell us what they offered →

The desk publishes subscribable .ics feeds for the dates it knows — offer deadlines, devaluations, expiry audits. Your renewal date is not one of them: only your statement knows it.

What's good

  • 2.50% foreign-currency markup — a full point under India's 3.5% norm, and under YES's own 3.50% plain purchase card
  • Lifetime free: "Joining Fee NIL" and "Annual Membership Fee (First Year and renewal) NIL" in the card's own fee table
  • Up to 45 days of interest-free credit on procurement and vendor spend
  • 1% fuel surcharge waiver between ₹400 and ₹5,000, capped at ₹500
  • Merchant-category, acquirer-level, daily and per-transaction controls, plus an international on/off switch
  • Software vouchers through PoshVine — up to 90% off Freshworks, up to $5,000 of Google Cloud credits, six months of Notion
  • Corporate name embossing and a dedicated Corporate Assist Desk

Watch out

  • YES PUBLISHES NO EARN RATE — its fee table says "Reward Redemption Fee Not Applicable" and its rewards section lists software vouchers, so we print no rate
  • RazorpayX's own comparison page advertises "Flat 1% Cashback" on this card; YES corroborates it nowhere, so this desk does not carry it
  • Gated on Razorpay — the card is issued against a RazorpayX-powered current account, so a business not already on Razorpay cannot get it
  • No lounge access of any kind — RazorpayX's own comparison table says "Lounge Access: Not included"
  • Minimum Amount Due is 100% of the Total Amount Due: this card does not revolve, and overdue costs 3.75% a month (45% a year) from the transaction date
  • Cash advance is not applicable — no ATM access and no cash limit
  • Rental payments cost at least 1% of value and are capped at three transactions per 30 days
  • A 1.5% dynamic-currency-conversion markup applies on top when a foreign merchant bills you in rupees

What these points actually fly

YES Bank has not published what this card earns, so there are no points here to fly with — not zero points, and not points that go nowhere: nothing stated either way. The moment a benefit sheet exists we will price whatever it names.

  • 15 Jun 2026
    Fee moderate YES Bank
    YES's ₹100 redemption fee reaches Marquee and Reserv
    Marquee and Reserv exempt from the ₹100-per-redemption fee; card reissuance ₹100–₹200 by variant → ₹100 fee on every redemption request, premium cards included, plus a ₹99 booking fee on YES Rewardz flights; reissuance ₹199; fuel-surcharge waiver window revised

    The exemption that let Marquee and Reserv holders pretend the ₹100 redemption fee was someone else's problem is gone. From 15 June 2026 every YES card pays ₹100 per redemption request, and booking a flight through YES Rewardz — the only place the points are worth their ₹0.25 — stacks a ₹99 booking fee on top. On a card whose whole pitch is settling 4.5% online earnings in portal travel, YES now charges you twice at the exit.
