Türk Ticaret Bankası, which has embarked on a new journey with the goal of becoming the main bank for exporters, continues to expand its service area. Türk Ticaret Bankası has opened its Çukurova Branch, which will serve exporters in Adana, Mersin, Hatay, and Osmaniye.
Türk Ticaret Bankası, which has resumed its activities with the goal of playing an active role in Türkiye's export-oriented growth, has opened its Çukurova Branch in Adana. The opening ceremony was attended by Adana Governor Yavuz Selim Köşger, Deputy Minister of Trade Özgür Volkan Ağar, Türk Ticaret Bankası Board Member and General Manager İlker Yeşil, Adana Chamber of Industry (ADASO) Chairman Zeki Kıvanç, and numerous exporters operating in the region.
Volkan Ağar: I wish the Türk Ticaret Bankası Çukurova Branch every success
Deputy Minister of Trade Özgür Volkan Ağar said in his speech at the opening ceremony that Çukurova is one of the important economic centers of the Mediterranean Region with its long-standing agricultural and industrial culture. Ağar continued:
"Today, we are opening the Çukurova Branch of the Türk Ticaret Bankası, one of the most important parts of the strong ecosystem we have implemented to expand our exporters' access to financing. Furthermore, with the Export Academy cooperation protocol we have signed between the Adana Chamber of Industry and Çukurova University, we are taking an important step towards increasing Adana's value-added and high brand value export capacity. I hope that the Türk Ticaret Bankası Çukurova Branch and the Export Academy will be beneficial to our region."
İlker Yeşil: Our Çukurova Branch will serve exporters in four provinces
İlker Yeşil, Member of the Board of Directors and General Manager of Türk Ticaret Bankası, also said in his speech that access to financing under favorable conditions is one of the top priorities for exporters in almost every period. Recalling that they have restructured the Türk Ticaret Bankası, which has a 112-year history, with the goal of becoming the main bank for exporters, Yeşil said:
"I consider the reactivation of the Türk Ticaret Bankası to be a very meaningful step on the path to our country's export-oriented development goal. As planned, we provided 75 billion TL in financial support to our exporters this year. This support will continue to increase in 2026. In addition to financial support, we aim to be a business partner to exporters on their growth journey. With this understanding, we are opening our branches in centers with the highest export activity. Adana is among our leading provinces in both agricultural and manufacturing industry production and exports. With this in mind, we are opening our Çukurova Branch in Adana. Our Çukurova Branch will also serve exporters in Mersin, Hatay, and Osmaniye, in addition to Adana. We will increase the number of branches we serve to 15 in the first quarter of 2026."
Zeki Kıvanç: Türk Ticaret Bankası's commencement of service in the ADASO building is important for us
Zeki Kıvanç, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Adana Chamber of Industry (ADASO), said that Adana makes a significant contribution to the Turkish economy with its strong industrial infrastructure and production diversity. Emphasizing that Adanalı industrialists demonstrate their production power in many sectors, particularly in chemicals, textiles, and automotive, Kıvanç continued:/p>
"Adana is resolutely advancing toward its goal of becoming Türkiye's second-largest production and industrial center after the Marmara Region. The opening of Türk Ticaret Bankası's Çukurova Branch, located at the heart of our industry on the top floor of our ADASO building, is of great importance to us. This partnership is no coincidence; it is a powerful demonstration of industry and finance coming together at the same point. The bank's proximity to the heart of the industrialist is a very important step in terms of accelerating access to finance and providing timely solutions to needs. I wholeheartedly believe that this synergy will take our Adana and our region to much greater heights."
