Milliyet - The Banking Regulatory and Supervision Agency (BDDK) granted Rabobank, the largest agricultural lender in the Netherlands, a license to operate in Türkiye, according to an announcement in the Official Gazette.
In August, 2013, the BDDK had given the Dutch financial institution the permission to set up a bank in Türkiye with an initial investment of USD 300 million, the capital required to start a banking business in the country.
Focusing on food and agricultural industries, Rabobank joins Italian Intesa Sanpaolo, Japan’s Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ (BTMU) and Lebanese Bank Audi who have all received a Turkish banking license in recent years.
