Halkbank

Turkey's state-owned Halkbank has denied any wrongdoing after U.S. prosecutors charged the lender with partaking in a scheme to evade U.S sanctions on Iran.

Three Turkish state-owned lenders, Ziraat, Halkbank and Vakıfbank, have lowered the monthly interest rates on car loans to support local production.

Three state-owned banks, namely Ziraat, Halkbank and Vakıfbank, have provided a total of 1.7 billion Turkish Liras worth of loans to 11,500 local firms under the financing package named "İVME" (advanced, productive, indigenous, industry) as of end-July.

On the eve of the latest legislation in the United States House of Representatives putting pressure on Turkey over its S-400 missile system purchase, Nicholas Danforth - a veteran Turkey analyst at the German Marshall Fund - posted a warning on Twitter that perfectly captured the dilemma in US-Turkey relations:

Turkish lender Halkbank on June 12 added a new branch to its network in Serbia, where it already has a widespread presence.

Turkey's Halkbank has become the third state bank to declare a low-interest rate campaign for citizens to pay off their credit card debts.

A former Halkbank executive, who has been serving out his sentence in a federal prison in the state of Pennsylvania, has asked a U.S. appeals court to drop the case against him, Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency reported on Dec. 3.

The New York prosecutor's office has withdrawn an appeal to extend the sentence of a former executive at Turkey's state-owned lender Halkbank, the Turkish state-run Anadolu Agency said on Dec. 6.

Turkey and the United States have discussed returning a jailed executive from state-owned lender Halkbank to Turkey where he can serve the rest of his sentence from an Iran sanctions-busting case, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said on Nov. 20.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump promised him to "give instructions" to his cabinet members regarding the Halkbank case.
