For 70 years, we have proudly carried out our aim of being Turkey’s Sustainable Bank!
We offer support to our farmers, tradespeople and SME customers across Turkey for generations and lead the way in the Turkish banking sector by developing our “Community Banking” mission from a “Sustainable Banking” perspective.
