Ziraat Katılım

Following Turkish state lenders' step to gather automated teller machines (ATMs) under a joint brand, a private lender has struck deals with two major private banks to offer expanded ATM services to its customers.

Türk Eximbank, Turkey's major export incentive instrument, on March 24 introduced a support package for exporters to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

The move aims for exporters to continue production and maintain employment as they see orders falling or being canceled due to virus fears.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said he disapproves of plans regarding a unit of state-owned lender Ziraat buying a stake in bakery chain Simit Sarayı and that this plan has been dropped.
