About Türkiye Finans Katilim Bankasi  

A joint venture of the Boydak Group, the Ülker Group, and The National Commercial Bank (Saudi Arabia), Türkiye Finans is grounded Turkey’s deep-rooted knowledge of and experience with participation banking.

Türkiye Finans Katılım Bankası was founded following the merger of the companies Family Finans and Anadolu Finans, which belongs to the Boydak and Ülker Groups, two leading large groups in Turkey, in 2005.

A new period of tremendous change and transformation at Türkiye Finans began on 31 March 2008 when The National Commercial Bank (NCB) acquired a 60% stake in the company. By bringing together the strengths of the Boydak and Ülker groups, two of Turkey’s leading industrial conglomerates, with those of the Middle East’s most deeply-capitalized bank, capital structure and vision of this partnership resulted in its emergence as a leading player in the business of participation banking.

In previous years, Türkiye Finans had laid out a five-year plan under which it redefined its goals and growth roadmap. As called for in that plan, the bank is currently undertaking a variety of projects with a customer-oriented approach and carrying out important progress aimed at further developing its technological infrastructure, business processes and service approach.

As of end of 1st quarter 2014, Türkiye Finans was the hub of a powerful service platform consisting of 4,263 employees, 259 branches, and an effective array of alternative delivery channels that enables the bank to offer innovative and high added value products, services, and solutions to a broad customer base in the corporate & commercial banking, enterprise banking, and retail banking segments.
