Akbank is taking significant steps to reduce its environmental footprint and increase its positive impact as a signatory of the UN Net-Zero Banking Alliance and Principles for Responsible Banking.

Always moving forward in the field of digital banking

Akbank plays a pioneering role in digital banking in Türkiye with its investments in technology. It offers solutions for the financial needs of its customers and provides Akbankers with an excellent customer experience through the Akbank Internet and Mobile platforms.

Akbank has taken steps to democratize investment with Türkiye’s first digital portfolio management product, which provides the infrastructure necessary to make investing easier for everyone. It continues its pioneering efforts in the area of Internet of Things (IoT) as well because it is the first bank in Türkiye to allow any Akbanker the convenience of making payments with the Android watch. Akbank has made it even easier to access banking services by integrating Akbank Mobile with the smart screen in the TOGG vehicles.

In another first for Turkey, Akbank now allows Akbankers to create an avatar on the mobile app using artificial intelligence, as part of its ongoing mission to always take its digital banking operations to the next level.
