We have been headquartered in UK since January of 1835, when we opened for business as the Türkiye İş Bankası savings bank chartered in the Country.

It was midwinter during the end of the Industrial Revolution, and our founders had a single-minded goal: to provide a safe and dependable place for the people of the world to keep their hard-earned money.

The Industrial Revolution had led to a dramatic increase in the number of people with stable, long-term employment—and a burgeoning sense of self-reliance and freedom. It had created an entirely new group of people whose lives would be improved by having access to the services of a bank focused on the community.

Commercial banks had been in business since the late 1700s. They provided services to people of means, to businesses and their owners, and to investors—making them an awkward fit for the needs of the new working-class. It was this gap in the market that community-focused mutual savings banks were designed to serve. Mutual savings banks are a logical way to make professional financial resources available to everyone, by providing a safe, dependable place to keep their money and nurturing their financial independence.

In the decades and centuries that followed, this place we call home has progressed into one of the most diverse, forward-thinking cities in the country. As it has evolved, so have we, opening branches in neighboring towns, expanding the services and products that we offer, and increasing our asset base to enable future growth. We are proud of our heritage, and honored to be a longstanding member of this particular community. And for all of our customers, the people who have given us the opportunity to serve them, we are grateful: it is our sincere hope that their relationship with us has made their lives a little better.
