A day after its UPI services were impacted due to an exclusive reliance on the beleaguered Yes Bank, financial app PhonePe on Saturday announced a resumption in services.

It has connected to second largest private sector lender ICICI Bank to act as a payment service provider in place of Yes Bank to make it possible.

Its chief executive Sameer Nigam thanked ICICI Bank and the National Payments Corporation of India formaking the transition possible in quick time.

After being put under moratorium, Yes Bank was put under severe restrictions including caps on payments, which impacted its ability to settle transactions on behalf of partners like PhonePe.

At last count, there were 15 firms which were dependent on Yes Bank for the services and may be impacted in different measures.
