The bank said it came to light after it’s fraud monitoring system declined an unusual increase in transactions conducted overnight at a Latin American country.
“These unauthorised transactions were attempted on specific BIN numbers only,” it said in a statement.
“These fraudulent transactions were carried out on 15 merchants that are based out of Latin American Country, in the early hours on February 24, 2026, between 3:30 AM and 8:30 AM (IST). The specific country does not mandate two factor authentication for e-commerce transactions,” Yes Bank said.
“As a security measure, the bank has subsequently restricted e-commerce transactions from the specific Latin American Country,” it added.

The U.S. has launched two investigations under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 against India and other economies to examine practices that may be ‘unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S. commerce’. One probe examines whether countries, including India, are using excess manufacturing capacity to export to the U.S. in a manner that hurts American businesses, while another looks at whether countries have taken ‘sufficient steps’ to prohibit imports of goods produced with forced labour.
