Three things you should know
- The card is issued by YES BANK and not by the Forum. Your money is held by YES BANK.
- The Forum receives a fee from the bank when a member opens an account. It costs you nothing.
- No Forum service depends on taking the card. Every service is open to you whether or not you have it.
Neither YES BANK nor Nari Shakti will ever ask you for your PIN, OTP or card number. Nobody from either will ever ask you to install an app or share your screen.
Four cards, four journeys

Questions, answered in full
Card FAQ
No. Nari Shakti Forum is not a bank. Your card is issued by YES BANK, which is regulated by the Reserve Bank of India, and your money is held by them.
Fees and charges are set by YES BANK and published in the bank's own Key Fact Statement, which we will link here. The Forum charges you nothing, and no Forum service depends on taking the card.
Not for the Sakhi, Seva or Udyam cards. Only the Shakti Credit Card requires a credit assessment, and that decision is the bank's.
No. We cannot see your transactions. Only the bank holds that. We see whether a reward we sent you was credited, and nothing more.
Yes. The bank pays us a fee when you open an account. It costs you nothing, and we have told you so before you applied.
No. Never. Every service is available to you whether or not you have this card.
That was a fraud attempt. Neither the bank nor Nari Shakti will ever ask for your PIN or OTP. Do not share it. Tell us what happened.
Call the YES BANK 24-hour card blocking number at once to block it, at any hour. Then call our helpline on 7868878688 and we will help you get a replacement.
Once you have it
What you can do with the card
| Service | How it works |
|---|---|
| Apply | A guided application pre-filled from your registration. You can see its status at every stage — submitted, in review with YES BANK, approved, dispatched, delivered, activated. |
| Activate and set your PIN | You are taken into YES BANK's own activation journey. The Forum never collects, displays or stores a PIN, an OTP or a full card number — at any point. |
| Balance and statement | Read-only, through the YES BANK interface. The Forum cannot see transaction detail, and this page says so. |
| Rewards | Rewards from the Forum — volunteer tiers, training completion, attendance incentives — are shown separately from your bank balance, so the two are never confused. |
| Offers | Partner offers at women's retail and online stores, by city, with terms and expiry. No offer ever requires a purchase to obtain a Forum service. |
| Block and replace | YES BANK's 24-hour blocking number, a one-tap block request from the app, and the Forum helpline as a third route if you cannot manage the first two. |
| Dispute a transaction | A guided walkthrough of the bank's dispute process, with the Forum's card desk beside you. The Forum does not decide disputes — the bank does. |
