Işbank Banking is a business model that focuses on “shareable and sustainable value creation” by handling financial and non-financial capital elements in the bank together. Işbank targets to create value for all its stakeholders with this strong business model, both in the short run and in the long run.

Işbank creates value through a mix of opportunities offered by its robust structure, competent human resources, strong relations with its stakeholders, corporate knowledge, brand value identified with trust and reputation, widespread physical and digital service network, and responsible products and services. Işbank also matches the output of its value creation process with the UN Sustainable Development Goals to which the Bank contributes with its activities. Thus, the Bank integrates its concept of producing shareable and sustainable value with global goals.
