For 72 years, we have proudly carried out our aim of being Türkiye’s Sustainable Bank!  

Sustainable Banking

We offer support to our farmers, tradespeople and SME customers across Türkiye for generations and lead the way in the Turkish banking sector by developing our “Community Banking” mission from a “Sustainable Banking” perspective. We transfer local and international resources to environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive investments more strategically to set an example for the finance sector and
take the “Sustainable Bank of Türkiye title to the future.

"Sustainable Banking means to appreciate the land, to shed a sweat at harvest time and to protect nature."
