Turkish Bank

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Turkish Bank Group is a Banking corporation established during 1901 as the Nicosia Savings Box in Cyprus assisted businesses by providing capital and financial support for local tradesmen. Supervised by the custodian Hacı İbrahim Efendi and led by an established businessman of the area Mufti Hafiz Ziyai Efendi.

By 1925 it had been turned into a savings bank, and by 1974 (as Türk Bankası Ltd./Turkish Bank Ltd.) established branches in other parts of Europe - including Harringay, London (home to a large Cypriot community).

Then in 1982, it opened its first branches on mainland Turkey, and in 1993 it issued its first credit cards.

It now trades under several names:

• Turkish Bank A.Ş. as a Private bank - alongside Turkish Yatırım A.Ş as an investment brokerage service.
• Türk Bankası Ltd. as a Retail bank in Turkey
• Turkish Bank (UK) Ltd. in UK
