YES Bank issues first electronic bank guarantee with NeSL

YES Bank has collaborated with National E-Governance Services Limited (NeSL) to issue its first electronic Bank Guarantee (e-BG). The integration of their digital document execution (DDE) platform has made it possible to completely digitize the previous paper-based process of issuing and maintaining Bank Guarantees. This includes the digital stamping and signing, which has significantly reduced the time it takes to issue Bank Guarantees.

According to a statement, the NeSL platform will handle the complete lifecycle of the bank guarantee, including its issuance, amendment, invocation, and cancellation. This will allow trade finance stakeholders to securely access the documents from a single repository. YES Bank’s collaboration with NeSL is consistent with its efforts to work with public digital utilities such as Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), Account Aggregator (AA), and Government e-Marketplaces (GEM) to facilitate digitization and simplify business operations for small and medium-sized enterprises (MSME) and corporate customers. When an e-BG is issued through NeSL’s 24×7 platform, it becomes immediately accessible, and the beneficiary can access it by completing a simple, one-time registration process.
