Bank Asya, Turkey’s most dynamic participation bank, commenced operations under the “Asya Finans” name in 1996 as the country’s sixth private finance house. As the sector’s newest participation bank, Bank Asya grew rapidly in a short period of time and achieved a strong and respected market position. Bank Asya ranks first among Turkish participation banks with respect to Total Assets and ranks 13 among 48 Turkish banks (As of June 2011).
Turkey’s first participation bank to go public
Bank Asya is firmly committed to a strategy of sound and sustainable growth, which it has carefully integrated into its organizational structure. As the first participation bank in Turkey to go public in order to establish a strong and broad capital base, Bank Asya listed 23% of its shares through an IPO (Initial Public Offering) in İstanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) with ASYAB ticker in May 2006. As of March 31, 2011, the Bank’s paid-in capital was TL 900 million and free float (publicly listed part) reached 52.6 %.
New high-quality products and services in participation banking
Bank Asya works continuously and proactively to expand its product and service lineup in order to meet the changing needs and expectations of its customers across all its business lines. As the first participation bank in Turkey to be awarded ISO 9001 Quality Management System certification, Bank Asya seeks to strengthen its market position by developing new interest-free banking products, including derivative products, with its innovative approach. The Bank also undertakes efforts to adapt widely used banking products and services to the interest-free banking system at the highest level of quality.
Invest in people, invest in the future
Bank Asya well understands that when it invests in people and technology, it invests in the future. The Bank deploys advanced technology in order to strengthen its growth momentum and supports its young, dynamic and development-focused workforce to embrace the Company’s values.
Advanced technology in banking
Having expanded the reach of its delivery network through investments in technological infrastructure and alternative distribution channels, in addition to its 191 branches, Bank Asya has been particularly successful in gaining more frequent recognition in recent years for the innovative payment system products that it has introduced. After the launch of Europe’s most advanced contactless credit card, AsyaCard DIT, and Turkey’s first prepaid contactless debit card, DIT Pratik, Bank Asya once again demonstrated that it is a pioneer with the introduction in late 2010 of DIT Mobil, which facilitates contactless transactions using mobile phones.
With its 1.8 million credit cards, Bank Asya is, again, the leading participation Bank in Turkey. With its high tech credit card “AsyaCard DIT” got 3 awards,
- Active Academy 6. International Finance Summit “Retail Banking” Award
- Visa Europe Member Awards “The Best Cash Displacement Innotative”
- Cards&Payments Europe Awards “Best New Credit Card Product Lunch”
Creating more sustainable value
Conducting its operations as a good corporate citizen, Bank Asya sets its strategic objectives in line with the principle of “creating more sustainable value” for all of its social and economic stakeholders.
Increasing brand value alongside unmatched growth dynamics
Bank Asya has been selected as best commercial bank in 2011 by Word Finance within the context of the finance and business world awards in Turkey. Bank Asya is transforming a business model which is based on supporting the real sector and manufacturing and which is informed by the fundamental principles of interest-free banking into an effective example of participation banking through its management competencies, funding practices, risk and quality policies, innovativeness, and unmatched growth dynamics. To this end, the Bank will continue to enhance the brand value that it has established in its national market and in the international arena.
