The team played FIBA EuroCup Challenge in their first TBL season and reached the semi-final. The team reached the semi-final in TBL five times and reached the final in Turkish Cup Basketball twice, but never won these competitions. In 2012–13 season the team beat Beşiktaş in quarter-final series and beat Anadolu Efes in semi-final series of playoffs and reached the final, where they lost against Galatasaray Medical Park 4–1. For next season, Banvit qualified for the Qualifying Round of Euroleague. But they lost against Telenet Oostende and dropped to the Eurocup.
