Invest News DetailVatan - Lebanon’s Bank Audi is seeking to expand its operations into Türkiye’s lucrative banking sector. Pending final approval, Lebanon’s biggest bank will be the first financial institution to be granted a banking license by Türkiye’s Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK) in a decade. After failing in its first attempt to do business in Türkiye via the acquisition of Tekstilbank, the bank had entered direct negotiations with BDDK for an operating license in the country. Aiming to provide deposit banking services in Türkiye, Bank Audi has agreed to meet the capital reverse requirement set forth by the BDDK. If approved, Bank Audi will be the 49th bank in Türkiye’s financial services sector.
