Akbank T.A.Åž. was established in Adana on January 30, 1948 as a privately-owned commercial bank to provide resources and support to the local cotton producers, with the purpose of carrying out all kinds of banking transactions and performing any kind of economic, financial and commercial attempts and activities that are not prohibited by the Laws of the Republic of Turkey, in accordance with the permission granted by the Council of Ministers' decision no. 3/6710 dated 12.12.1947. We opened our first Istanbul branch on July 14, 1950 in Sirkeci. After our Head Office was relocated to Istanbul in 1954, we rapidly increased the number of our branches, and we automated all banking transactions in 1963.
