Founded just one year after the establishment of Turkey as an independent republic in 1923, İşbank is now celebrating its 100th birthday. In addition to handing out piggy banks to promote savings awareness, the bank was the first to introduce automated teller machines, as well as internet and mobile banking to the country.
The growth of the bank is tied to supporting companies that provide for the wider economic independence and wellbeing of Turkey, says deputy CEO Sezgin Lüle. As the bank embarks on its second century, it is looking to harness technology tools and innovative business practices to make sure its consumers and business are supported going forward, he adds.
