Why did Yes Bank choose Digital Statements over a physical copy?

Yes Bank e-statement is a digital version of your account transaction records, your personal and banking information. such as Your Name, CIF Number, Account Number, Address, closing balance, your credit or Debit money transactions.
As per the Digital India Campaign and environmental benefits, The Banks promote digital statements. Furthermore, it is fast, free, and convenient.
So, how can you get Yes Bank’s monthly statements to your email ID? When you open a bank account, the bank will ask you for your email ID to activate the monthly e-statement on your Yes Bank savings or current account.
If you already have a bank account and do not receive an e-statement, simply download the IRIS Yes Bank mobile banking app, log in using your MPIN, go to my profile, and update your email ID. OR you can call Yes Bank customer care.
Once you start getting the statement monthly, now, the next question will be how you can download it and unlock it.
What is the Password for the Yes Bank Account Statement?
To unlock your Yes Bank account statement PDF, the bank uses a password that typically combines your 9-digit Customer ID (CIF Number) followed by Your Date of Birth in DD/MM/YYYY format.
Here is an example: if your Yes Bank Customer ID is 555544441 and your Date of Birth (as registered with the bank) is 15 August 2000, your password would be 55554444115082000. Enter this carefully to avoid errors.
