Işbank Once Again Named Turkey’s Best in Private Banking

Türkiye İş Bankası has been honored with the “Best Private Bank in Turkey” award at the Private Banking Awards organized by Professional Wealth Management (PWM) and The Banker, leading international publications under the Financial Times Group.

Innovative Hybrid Private Banking Model: Co-private
İşbank Executive Vice President Suat Sözen stated that the bank has achieved strong growth in private banking in recent years. He emphasized that this success is driven by the high quality of service offered at dedicated Private Banking branches, strong performance in wealth management, and the co-private model, which combines specialized private banking services with commercial banking expertise by creating dedicated private banking spaces within Commercial Specialty Branches.
Sözen noted that İşbank currently serves clients through 13 Private Banking Specialty Branches and 20 co-private branches across Türkiye, and added:
“Previously focused on traditional services such as lending, foreign trade regulations, and investments, our commercial branches have now evolved into more comprehensive financial planning centers with this hybrid model. Here, we provide our private banking clients with tailored, one-stop solutions for managing both their personal and commercial wealth.”

“We view family wealth as a means to achieve long-term family goals and create social impact”
Highlighting their effective use of technology to better understand clients and offer the most suitable portfolio management solutions, Sözen said that they aim to deliver best-in-class personalized wealth management through initiatives such as the dynamic Private Banking Portfolio Management platform developed for relationship managers and the customization of İşCep for private banking clients.

He continued:
“Managing family wealth in a way that involves second and third generations has become increasingly important. For this reason, we take a forward-looking approach by offering family-specific funds and expanding our environmental, social, and governance investment packages. We view family wealth not merely as capital, but as a tool for achieving long-term family objectives, creating societal impact, and leaving a legacy. This approach enables wealth to be managed with the participation of future generations and ensures opportunities are evaluated more effectively.
Through our Family Fund offering, we enable clients to receive expert support in areas such as estate planning, will preparation, philanthropic giving, and establishing foundations. With these initiatives, we were honored earlier this year with four awards at the Euromoney Private Banking Awards, including ‘Best Private Bank in Turkey.’ We are now delighted to once again be recognized as Turkey’s best at this competition organized by The Banker and PWM.”
