The story of İşbank, which was established as our country's first national bank based on Gazi
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's idea that political independence could only be possible through
economic independence, is parallel to the history of the Republic. Established to achieve more
with less with Atatürk's directive "Establishing a truly modern and national bank, born from the
direct reputation and trust of the people, as one of the primary measures that will liberate and
elevate the country..." , İşbank has always been a Republican institution that is much more than a
bank.
İşbank's pioneering achievements

in order to create and popularize the habit of
saving.

(Quick Response) code, was made available for
customers.
1950s
1960s-1970s
İşbank, the first national bank of the
Republican era, was established
on August 26, 1924, in line with
the decisions taken at the Izmir
First Economics Congress with
Atatürk's directives. İşbank was
the first Turkish bank to establish
branches abroad, with the first
international branches opened in
Hamburg,Germany and Alexandria,
Egypt in 1932.
The Bank developed its portfolio
of subsidiaries. As the Bank's
subsidiaries became the driving
force of Turkish industry, the
Bank invested in and financed a
number of industries, with a focus
on manufacturing.
In the 1960s and 1970s, İşbank
focused on extending its branch
network.
1980s
1990s
2000s
The Bank increased the
number of its overseas
branches. At İşbank, the
1980s were characterized
by the growing importance
of multichannel banking, and
the Bank started offering
an even broader range of
products to its customers.
In 1982, İşbank introduced
the first ATMs to Türkiye,
and its ATMs named
"Bankamatik" became a
brand.
İşbank further solidified
its position as the sector's
pioneer in alternative
distribution channels when
it launched "Mavi Hat" (Blue
Line) in 1991 and the first
online banking branch in
1997.
Maintaining strong and stable
growth, İşbank relocated the
Bank's headquarters from
Ankara to Istanbul in 2000.
In light of rapid advances
in technology, İşbank
continued to improve the
innovative multichannel
banking network, allowing
customers to utilize the most
suitable channel to perform
all banking transactions
conveniently, quickly, and
reliably on a 24/7 basis.
2010s
Initiating the customer-
centered Digital Transformation
Program with the vision of
becoming "Türkiye's Best
Digital Bank", İşbank founded
MaxiTech, its subsidiary, in
Silicon Valley, USA in 2016 to
support digital transformation.
The Bank initiated the "Workup by İşbank"
Entrepreneurship Program to support high potential and
technology-focused initiatives (Startups) and began to
invest in technology-focused startup ventures by making
an investment commitment to the Maxis Innovative Venture
Capital Fund established within the İşbank Group. İşbank
established the "Innovation Committee" in order to extend
the innovation culture and ensure the continuation of
innovation processes.
In 2018, İşbank continued to consolidate its leadership
in digital banking by integrating the personal assistant
application Maxi into the service platform, which quickly
achieved a record number of customer contacts.
İşbank advanced one step further in the innovation universe
with the opening of the Shanghai Innovation Center.
With TekCep service, Türkiye's first open banking app, the
Bank offered an opportunity to track account activity at
different banks via İşCep.
2020s
During the extraordinary period of COVID-19 pandemic
conditions, İşbank demonstrated its support for households
and companies with special product and service applications.
With an innovative approach that brings agriculture and
technology together, agriculture-focused activities gained
momentum.

first startup-focused branch service model in Türkiye
with the vision of being the bank of entrepreneurship and
entrepreneurs.

An Overview of İşbankLooking Into the FutureHow We Create ValueReliable Financial ActorResponsible OperationsGood Corporate CitizenFinancial Reports and Annexesİşbank 2023 Integrated Annual Reportİşbank 2023 Integrated Annual Report Message from the Chairperson
Esteemed Stakeholders,
We had a very difficult and sorrowful start to 2023, the 100th
anniversary of our Republic, due to the earthquake disasters that
shook our country deeply. We suffered the loss of many of our
citizens, including our colleagues working in the region, in the
earthquakes, the impact of which was felt over a vast area. While
the mobilization of solidarity began across the country to heal the
wounds caused by this great disaster, we, as İşbank Group, provided
a comprehensive disaster relief package to ensure that the needs
in the region could be met and to provide permanent support to the
region. Today, we continue to do our best to ensure that our country
can leave the impact of these dark days behind us completely. On
this occasion, I wish Allah's mercy on those who lost their lives due
to the earthquake and express my condolences once again to their
relatives and our nation.
2023 was a year of significant developments in the world economy.
While the global economy continued to lose momentum in line with
the tightening steps taken by major central banks until the last quarter
of the year, divergences in growth between regions were noteworthy.
Concerns about a global recession, which had been on the agenda
from time to time, were largely replaced by expectations of a "soft
landing in economic activity". The easing of supply-side pressures
stemming from supply chain disruptions supported the containment
of inflationary effects on a global basis. Throughout the year, the
course of global economic activity and the decisions of central
banks as well as geopolitical developments, particularly the tension
in the Middle East and the Russia-Ukraine war, were influential
on the course of global risk appetite. Foreign capital continued to
be selective in its investment decisions especially in developing
countries.
In 2023, the determining factors in the performance of the Turkish
economy were the earthquake disasters and the economic policies
implemented. The Turkish economy grew by 4.5% in 2023. Despite
the weak course in major export markets, the annual decline in
commodity prices, particularly in energy prices, led to limited
expansion in the foreign trade deficit, while the expansion in the
current account deficit lost momentum in the second half of the year
thanks to the contribution of service revenues. On the other hand,
annual consumer inflation, which displayed a downward trend in the
first half of the year due to the base effect, resumed an upward trend
in the second half of the year due to the depreciation in TRY and the
increases in tax rates. In addition to the earthquake disaster, the high
inflation environment led to an increase in the budget deficit in 2023.
As of the second half of the year, policies that put the fight against
inflation more at the forefront were pursued, and simplification steps
were taken in macroprudential measures. Under these conditions,
Türkiye’s banking sector maintained its strong outlook and continued
to support economic activity.
Special projects for the 100th anniversary of our
Republic
In the 100th anniversary of our Republic, which we celebrate with
enthusiasm and pride, we continued our efforts to present permanent
and inclusive works to our country. The historical building, which
served as the Beyoğlu Branch of our Bank for 63 years, opened its
doors to art lovers as the İşbank Painting and Sculpture Museum on
October 29th.
In March of the same year, we opened our exhibition titled "Long
Live the Republic! The First Steps of Economic Independence
in the Atatürk Era" at the İşbank Museum in Eminönü, Istanbul. In
September, we organized an international conference titled "Looking
to the Next Century with Atatürk's Vision", where we heard different
perspectives and reflections on Atatürk's visionary approach from
many guests from Türkiye and around the world who are experts in
their fields.
İşbank is 100 years old!
We are now entering another extremely important year for our Bank.
İşbank, the younger brother of the Republic by one year, will celebrate
its 100th anniversary in 2024.
Atatürk's words, "Political and military victories, no matter how great
they may be, cannot be permanent unless they are crowned with
economic victories", expressed at the Economic Congress convened
in Izmir in an environment where the wounds of the struggle for
independence were still healing, became the economic motto of our
Republic. With this understanding, our Bank, which was conceived "to
establish a nationwide bank with a large capital belonging exclusively
to Turks", was established in 1924 with the initiative of Atatürk himself.
Having taken responsibility for the development of our country
since day one, İşbank reached its 100th anniversary as an institution
guided by its founding values in all its activities. Creating value for
stakeholders, a culture of ethical, transparent, and accountable
business conduct, and a long-term perspective have always been
among the most fundamental principles of sustainable development.
In this respect, we are delighted to see that İşbank has succeeded in
combining these deep-rooted values with modern requirements and
has established a strong position among the leading institutions in its
field.
Contribution to sustainable growth
As a brand identified with trust and reputation in our sector, we
believe in the power of common sense in solving global problems
and adopt the approach of doing business together. We are a
signatory and member of many leading sustainability initiatives,
including the Net-Zero Banking Alliance, the United Nations
Environment Program Finance Initiative, the United Nations
Women's Empowerment Principles, and the Global Compact.
Within İşbank Group, we are a large community that supports
Türkiye’s sustainable growth and development with our
employment, exports, production, and services. We develop
products and services to support the real sector and households
with our widespread service network and digital contact points.
In the coming period, we will continue to utilize our resources for
Türkiye with determination.
Esteemed Stakeholders,
As we leave behind our centenary year, we continue our efforts
with the vision of becoming the bank of the future in line with global
developments and new regulations. In this process, on behalf of
the Board of Directors, I would like to extend our gratitude to all our
stakeholders, especially to the people of İşbank, whose efforts have
brought us to this day.
Yours sincerely,

Esteemed Stakeholders,
Having started with the joy of celebrating the 100th anniversary of
our Republic, 2023 turned into a challenging year in every sense
due to the earthquake disasters on February 6th, which shook us
all deeply. We have tried to come out of the difficult times in which
we were put to the test with human life through the healing power of
social solidarity. Although we suffered great losses, we quickly took
action to shoulder our responsibility. On behalf of İşbank Group, we
donated TL 1 billion to AFAD for the earthquake region and provided
TL 1 billion 750 million in support for earthquake housing to be built.
In addition to the TL 10 billion we allocated in the first phase with our
disaster aid package, which we implemented to heal the wounds in
the region and to initiate production and employment mobilization, we
made the decision to defer or write off loan payments in the provinces
and districts that suffered severe damage in the earthquake.
Although it will take a long time to heal the wounds in the region, I
believe that we will overcome these difficult days with the solidarity
we have shown as a nation since the first day.
2023 was a year in which the global economy continued to lose
momentum in parallel with the tightening steps taken by central
banks to combat inflation worldwide, especially in developed
countries. According to IMF, the global economy, which grew by 3.5%
in 2022, is predicted to have completed 2023 with a growth rate
of 3.1%. In this period, global inflation declined but remained above
central banks' targets. Having tended to raise policy rates throughout
2023, major central banks preferred to maintain interest rates at the
level reached in the last months of the year in order to observe the
effects of the tightening measures implemented.
Despite the earthquake disasters at the beginning of the year, which
affected a vast area, the Turkish economy grew by 4.5% year-on-
year in 2023. Having declined in the first half of the year largely due
to the base effect, annual CPI inflation resumed an upward trend as
of June due to the depreciation of the Turkish lira and the increases in
tax rates. In this framework, tightening steps in monetary policy came
to the forefront in the second half of the year. The increase in the
current account deficit lost momentum in the second half of the year
with the contribution of tourism revenues.
İşbank continued to display a successful performance in this
challenging environment with its effective risk management and
quick decision-making skills. Our total asset size reached TL 2,453.8
billion, up 74.2% year-on-year, while cash loans increased to TL
1,147.4 billion and non-cash loans to TL 427.4 billion, and our total
contribution to the economy was TL 1.6 trillion. Throughout the year,
in addition to the soundness of our financial structure, the holistic
approach we adopted in digitalization, sustainability, competent
human resources, customer experience, and subsidiary strategy was
one of our greatest strengths.
100th Anniversary of İşbank
In 2024, we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the
establishment of our Bank, which was founded as the first national
bank of our country with the visionary approach of Gazi Mustafa
Kemal Atatürk. This institution, which is nearly as old as the Republic,
has taken on and continues to take on important responsibilities for
our country since its first day.
In addition to our main fields of activity, we also endeavor to
contribute to social life in areas such as education, culture, arts,
science, and sports through the projects we carry out. In 2023, in
cooperation with the Turkish Marine Research Foundation (TÜDAV),
we launched the "Future of the Seas: Seagrass Meadows" project,
which aims to protect the last Posidonia oceanica seagrasses, which
are critical to the health of the Marmara Sea. In 2023, Deniz Kaşifi
(Sea Explorer), an unmanned underwater glider that was put into use
by the Middle East Technical University (METU) Institute of Marine
Sciences in the previous year, continued its underwater activities in
the Marmara and Mediterranean Seas.
In 2023, we contributed to the spread of sports to large masses
by assuming the title sponsorship to the Istanbul Marathon and
Half Marathon for two years, making sports more accessible and
enjoyable. At the same time, we continue to support our athletes
who will represent our country at the 2024 Paris Olympics within
the scope of the cooperation we started in 2022 with the Turkish
National Olympic Committee.
As part of the "Show Your Report Card, Get Your Book" campaign,
one of the most widespread and long-lasting book projects in Türkiye
to date, we prepared a special book titled "Çocuklar Soruyor Tarih
Dede Anlatıyor" in cooperation with İşbank Cultural Publications
and Darüşşafaka on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the
founding of our Republic. We continued our sponsorship of the
Turkish Chess Federation, which started in 2005, by expanding it
with the 100th Anniversary of the Republic of Türkiye İşbank Chess
Cup and the "Minik Hamleler" project aimed at spreading chess to
kindergartens.
We support sustainable transformation in the
economy
We are aware that the finance sector plays a very important role
in building a sustainable economy. As a signatory of the Net-Zero
Banking Alliance (NZBA) within the scope of our decarbonization
efforts, we have announced our science-based intermediate
emission reduction targets with the efforts we have initiated to
manage the impacts arising from our loan portfolio. With our NZBA
commitment, we aim to reduce the emission intensity financed by
our Bank by 61% in the power generation, 21% in cement, and 10% in
iron and steel by 2030 compared to the base year 2021. In line with
our commitment to transparency-lined, systematic annual reporting,
in 2024, we will be conducting targeting studies for other carbon-
intensive sectors, report the progress on the initial targets we have
set, and create our transition plans including the portfolio actions we
will recommend to our customers.
In a move to bolster the green transformation within the economy,
İşbank has declared its intention to progressively phase out coal
financing by the year 2040, alongside the intermediate targets set
for the Net-Zero Banking Alliance. In 2020, we have announced our
commitment to refrain from financing new investments in coal and
natural gas-based thermal power plants for electricity generation and
pledged not to finance new coal mining activities in 2021.
In 2023, we continued to hold Green Transformation at SMEs
meetings and provided the real sector with the know-how it needs
to transition to a green economy. With the Water Platform technology
developed specifically for SMEs, we supported businesses in
reducing both water costs and water-related energy costs. We
continued to provide resources for renewable energy investments,
one of the most important components of the green economy. The
resources we provided for renewable energy projects, which have
a 77% share in our power generation projects portfolio, totaled
USD 6.8 billion. In 2024, we aim to accelerate both the digital and
green transformation of SMEs, the backbone of the economy, with
the "Twin Transformation Journey of 100 SMEs" project, which we
implemented in cooperation with the MEXT Technology Center.

We had a year in which we continued to diversify our resources in
the field of sustainable finance by adding new resources. The total
amount of sustainability-themed resources we provided during the
year reached USD 2.4 billionThis year, wehad an outstanding green
bond issuance with the amount of TL 500 million with a 2-year
maturity . The transaction is labelled as the first green debt instrument
issuance in TL denominated by the banking sector in the country.
New initiatives in agriculture
Food safety is among the most important issues in sustainable
development. We continue our efforts in this area in order to support
the agricultural sector and ensure the sustainability of the country's
agriculture. Our goal is to popularize sustainable practices that
increase productivity in agriculture and are supported by technology.
To this end, we increased the number of our agriculture specialized
branches in 2023. We aim to open more than 50 Agriculture
Specialized Branches in the 100th year of our Bank.
In the first phase of the project, which we launched in cooperation
with our Bank and the European Fund for Southeast Europe (EFSE)
and under the consultancy of the Frankfurt School, we started to
measure the carbon footprint of producers in four main product
groups. Ultimately, we aim to develop product-specific banking
solutions that reduce carbon footprint.
We continued to support the agricultural activities of our farmers
with our mobile application İmeceMobil, a platform specific to the
agricultural sector. We became an 8.3% shareholder in the Izmir
Agricultural Technology Center through our subsidiary İmeceMobil.
We established the "İmeceMobil Agriculture Platform", which provides
digital agricultural technology services to small and medium-sized
farmers with the aim of supporting sustainable, efficient agricultural
production in the agriculture sector, which is among our strategic
priorities, and using technologies in the field of digital agriculture
correctly and spreading them to the grassroots.
We are Building the Bank of the Future
Our Bank, which has broken ground many times in terms of
digitalization of banking and technological innovation in our country,
continues to offer secure products and services to its stakeholders
without slowing down with the vision of being the "bank of the future"
as it prepares for its second century. In 2023, the number of our
digital banking users reached approximately 15 million.
Launched as Türkiye’s first mobile banking application and serving
5 million users every day, İşCep received the "World's Best Mobile
Banking Application" award at the "Best Digital Bank Awards"
organized by the international finance publication Global Finance. Our
Maxi application won the "Best Chatbot Technology" award at the
MarTech Technology Awards.
We are an important financial provider for an inclusive
economy
As the bank of Türkiye and the future, we are working with the goal
of providing products and services for all segments of society. Our
aim is to make the highest contribution to our country by offering our
technological capabilities, experience, and financial strength together
in the best way where needed. We continue our efforts in line with
our commitment to contribute to the transformation of the economy
by providing sustainable financing amounting to TL 300 billion by
2026 with the aim of creating inclusive, sustainable, and shareable
economic value.
With this approach, in 2023, we continued our efforts for SMEs,
which are the locomotive of the Turkish economy, and diversified our
products and services, especially for women's participation in the
economy.
With the "Women's Empowerment Declaration", we demonstrate our
support for women to be more active in economic life with the goal
of providing TL 100 billion in financing to women business owners
within 5 years. The declaration includes issues such as women taking
a more active role in business life, having equal rights, facilitating
access to financial services, preventing discrimination and implicit
prejudices in marketing activities, and developing practices that
consider all stakeholders in the value chain and create a positive
impact.
In addition, we launched the "Internet for 100 Villages" project on the
occasion of the 100th-anniversary celebrations of the Republic of
Türkiye and İşbank. With this Project, we aim to expand the availability
of the advantages offered by technology in every field, from
education to economy, by providing internet access in rural areas.
We allocate resources to entrepreneurship and produce a multiplier
effect on the support we provide to the economy
We believe that supporting the entrepreneurship ecosystem
is of great importance for our country to be among the world's
leading economies. For this reason, we have been accompanying
entrepreneurs for many years and providing them with both financial
support and knowledge.
The 11th term of the Workup Entrepreneurship Program, which has
continued uninterruptedly since 2017 under the main support of our
Bank, and the 2nd term of Workup Agri, an acceleration program
focused on agricultural technologies, took place. The program has
produced more than 100 graduates in 5 years. In addition to the
Workup and Workup Agri Entrepreneurship Programs, in 2023, we
launched the Workup Gaming program, which aims to accelerate
education-focused gaming technologies. We won the Golden
Sardis award in the "Most Innovative Acceleration and Incubation
Programs" category with Workup, Workup Agri, and Workup Gaming
Entrepreneurship Programs.
We moved our entrepreneurship programs, particularly Workup
and Workup Agri, to İş Towers, thus transforming İş Towers, where
our Istanbul Entrepreneurship Branch is also located, into an
entrepreneurship base.
In 2023, we launched Proemtia, the first digital marketplace platform
in its field in our country. With this platform, we aimed to contribute
to the development and digitalization of industrial commodity trade.
Proemtia is primarily used for iron and steel industry products and
will expand its field of activity and volume to include other industrial
products in the future.
As İşbank Group, in line with our mission to be the leading bank of
digitalization, entrepreneurship, and initiatives in our country, we
decided to invest in GetirFinans, which was born as a new initiative
and became a strategic business partner. Thus, with platform
banking, we aim to meet the financial needs of our customers on
the platform where they make transactions and on our own digital
channels when needed.
Consolidation of subsidiaries
In 2023, we took a strategic step and decided to consolidate our
subsidiaries under a new company to be established under 100%
ownership of our Bank for more effective management. With this new
structure, we aim to adopt a more focused and strategic management
approach with a systematic approach required by the rapid changes
in every field in the world. In addition, we aim to increase the synergy
between the subsidiaries, manage the subsidiaries more dynamically,
and achieve a competitive performance that increases the value of
the subsidiary portfolio and maximizes profits through increased
efficiency.
Next-generation working environments
The greatest strength of our Bank, which has been carrying out
its banking activities with competent and ethical employees since
its establishment, has always been its human resources. With this
awareness, we implement practices that will both attract young
talents to the Bank and increase the satisfaction of our existing
employees. We integrate the working systems of the future into our
organization.
Considering the office usage needs of the new era, we are opening
modern regional offices called MaxiOfis in different provinces so
that our employees can carry out their work from "an İşbank Office"
anywhere they are located. In 2023, we opened one more office
each in Ankara, Izmir, Kayseri, and Mersin and made 12 MaxiOfis
locations available to our employees in 8 different provinces. In 2024,
we plan to adapt digital workspace components and technological
innovations that will strengthen next-generation working
methodologies to working life, thus supporting the phenomenon of
working together with technology.
We are also working to offer next-generation experiences to our
İşbank customers. In January 2023, we launched İş Mekân, a
next-generation experience space, which is the first of its kind in
our country, in order to go beyond banking services and meet the
needs of our customers holistically together with our subsidiaries
and to serve our customers, whom we contact digitally, in a physical
environment. İş Mekân, which started its operations in Nişantaşı and
serves an average of 20,000 visitors per month, is an ecosystem
where brands and platforms within the İşbank Group can meet with
visitors in addition to banking transactions.
Esteemed Stakeholders,
The rapidly changing conjuncture in the world and in our country
once again underlines the necessity for organizations to have strong
compasses in order to survive. As an institution that was founded to
achieve more with less and has always been much more than just
a bank, İşbank is an ethical, principled, and reputable institution that
works with the understanding of creating value for all its stakeholders
and that prioritizes the interests of the country. This positions us
among the most valuable brands of our country and our sector.
We at İşbank are preparing for our second century with the
awareness of the greatness of the heritage we carry. Without
compromising our vision of "being the bank of the future that creates
sustainable value with an inclusive and participatory approach", we
endeavor to reclaim and earn the title of "the bank of the future"
every day. Without deviating from the principles of our founder
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, we are working with all our strength to
contribute to carrying our country above the level of contemporary
civilizations. In our second century, we will continue to offer reliable,
seamless, and personalized digital products and services supported
by new technologies.
I would like to extend my gratitude to all our stakeholders who have
trusted and accompanied us on this journey and to my colleagues at
İşbank who have always worked with great dedication.
Yours sincerely,
Hakan Aran

Operating Environment:
General Evaluations
Global Economy
In 2023, while geopolitical uncertainties were still going on, the
relatively weak course of global economic growth continued, with
divergence among countries. Although inflation lost momentum on a
global scale, it continued to stay above central banks’ targets. Major
central banks, which continued to raise interest rates throughout the
year, preferred to wait to monitor the impacts of the tightening steps
taken in the last quarter of the year. In this environment, international
organizations assess that the risk of a global recession has
diminished and the possibility of a "soft landing" is gaining weight,
taking into account the above-expected course of economic activity
in the US and major emerging economies and the possible effects
of monetary and fiscal stimulus in China. According to IMF data, the
world economy, which grew by 3.5% in 2022, is estimated to have
grown by 3.1% in 2023 and is expected to display a similar outlook in
2024.
Turkish Economy
In 2023, the Turkish economy grew by 4.5% thanks to the continued
strong course of consumption expenditures and the contribution
of the increase in investment expenditures due to the earthquake
disaster. In line with the tightening trend in economic policy, growth is
expected to lose some momentum in 2024.
Despite the favorable performance of budget revenues, particularly
tax revenues, increased budget expenditures due to the earthquake
disaster and high inflation caused the budget deficit to widen rapidly
in 2023. The budget deficit, which stood at TL 1.4 trillion throughout
the year, widened to 5.2 % of GDP. In 2023, the decline in energy
prices was effective in narrowing the foreign trade deficit. In this
period, services revenues, especially tourism, displayed a positive
performance. Thus, the current account deficit narrowed by 8% year-
on-year to 45.2 billion USD.
Annual inflation, which declined in the first half of the year due to the
high base effect, regained momentum in line with the depreciation
in TL, tax adjustments, and wage hikes since June. As of December
2023, annual CPI inflation rose to 64.77%, while D-PPI inflation
amounted to 44.22%. The CBRT raised the policy rate since June to
42.5% as of December as part of the campaign to fight inflation. The
CBRT also took various steps towards simplifying macroprudential
measures, increasing the share of Turkish lira deposits, selective
lending, and quantitative tightening. The normalization steps taken in
economic policies led to an improvement in risk perception towards
Türkiye, with Türkiye's 5-year CDS premium declining from around
700 basis points at the end of May to 280 basis points by the end of
the year.

Banking Sector
İşbank
The banking sector maintained its strong outlook in 2023 and
continued to support economic activity. According to the Weekly
Bulletin data published by the Banking Regulation and Supervision
Agency, the volume of Turkish lira loans, including loans to the
financial sector, increased by 53.5% on an annual basis, reaching
TL 7,293 billion as of December 29, 2023. In USD terms, FX loan
volume decreased by 3.5% to USD 121.6 billion in the same period.
Accordingly, the total loan volume expanded at a rate of 52.9% as
of December 29, 2023 and reached TL 10,859 billion. According to
the exchange rate adjusted data, the total loan volume expanded by
34.7% in this period.
As of December 29, 2023, the volume of TL deposits, including
deposits of banks, increased by 85.9% and reached TL 8,308 billion
compared to the same period in 2022. In USD terms, FX deposit
volume decreased by 8.2% to USD 191.3 billion in this period. The
volume of FX-protected deposits, which peaked at TL 3.4 trillion in
August, started to decline following the announcement of the exit
strategy on August 20, falling to TL 2.6 trillion as of December 29.
Thus, as of December 29, 2023, total deposit volume increased by
66.5% year-on-year to TL 13,919 billion. According to the exchange
rate adjusted data, the annual increase in total deposit volume was
42.1%.

In 2023, the banking sector was shaped by macroprudential
measures in the first half of the year and by the CBRT's simplification
and normalization steps aimed at increasing the functionality of
market mechanisms and strengthening macro financial stability in
the second half. In this conjuncture, by focusing on effective risk
management and maintaining balance sheet management with a
dynamic perspective, İşbank increased its asset size by 74.2% to
TL 2,453.8 billion as of year-end 2023 and maintained its title as
"Türkiye's largest private bank".
Continuing to support the Turkish economy in a wide range of
areas from the needs of households to the financing of Türkiye's
large-scale investments, İşbank increased its cash loans by 51.1%
compared to the end of the previous year. As of the end of 2023, the
amount of resources provided by the Bank to the economy amounted
to TL 1.6 trillion, of which TL 1,147.4 billion was cash loans and TL
427.3 billion was non-cash loans. Thus, İşbank continued to be the
private bank making the largest contribution to the national economy.
İşbank's deposits increased by 78.5% compared to the end of the
previous year, reaching TL 1.7 trillion. While the "liraization" strategy
continued to shape the composition of deposits in 2023, Turkish
currency deposits increased by more than 128% in this period. İşbank
maintained its leading position among private banks not only in total
deposits but also in demand deposits.
Continuing to improve its asset quality indicators in 2023, İşbank's
NPL ratio declined to 2.1% from 3.0% at the end of the previous year.
Maintaining its strong liquidity level in 2023, İşbank's total liquidity
coverage ratio and foreign currency liquidity coverage ratio were
realized at 185% and 327%, respectively.
İşbank maintained its leading position among private banks with its
shareholders' equity, which increased by 39.9% in 2023 compared
to the previous year and reached TL 267.8 billion. With a capital
adequacy ratio of 21.6% in 2023, İşbank became one of the banks
with the highest ratio in the sector.

Opportunities and Forecasts
Climate Crisis
According to the World Economic Forum's 2023 Global Risks
Report, failure to mitigate and/or adequately adapt to climate change,
natural disasters, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation
represent five of the top 10 risks for our world. The report warns of
highly interconnected risks, noting that climate change is triggering “a
range of interlinked global risks”, including economic tensions, energy
and food supply shortages, increases in the cost of living, and debt
payment capacity. On the other hand, it was also stated that there
is an opportunity that the connections between global risks offer a
dimension that may be leveraged to reduce risks.
As the final declaration of the 28th Conference of the Parties to the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28)
closed in Dubai shows, global performance in this area needs to
be improved and efforts need to be accelerated. According to the
final declaration, the most important and urgent need for increasing
climate resilience, meeting climate damages, and the transition
economy is access to finance.
The COP28 final declaration provided important clues on the
focus areas that stand out in the global action plan to fight climate
change. The Global Stocktake (GST) agreed upon at COP28 called
for a significant increase in renewable energy capacity and energy
efficiency improvements by country parties. While 118 countries
signed the Global Renewables and Energy Efficiency Pledge, Türkiye
was not among the signatories. In the decision text of the COP28,
countries party to the Framework Convention on Climate Change
called for "an orderly and equitable transition away from fossil fuels
in energy systems, accelerating actions in this critical decade so that
net zero is achieved by 2050”. This was the first time that the term
“fossil fuels” was included in a COP text. Türkiye, which has not yet
announced its National Climate Action Plan and has not yet enacted
its Climate Law, has also declared that it wants to benefit from the
Loss and Damage Fund.
According to the Financial Stability Oversight Council Climate-Related Financial Risk report published in July 2023, three main
categories of climate risk for the banking and finance sector are highlighted:
Credit Risks
Market Risks
Operational Risks
can increase substantially due to physical
climatic events, regulatory changes
due to climatic events, and changing
customer behaviors. Extreme natural
events can lead to the deteriorating
financial performance of agricultural
customers; severe weather events can
damage properties and lead to increased
loan defaults. Thermal power plants may
be restricted or shut down as a result of
their inability to meet increased emission
standards.
the physical risks of climate events pose
a threat to all assets exposed to severe
weather events, leading to balance
sheet losses. Transition risks in financial
markets include expectations regarding
technology, regulations, and changing
consumer preferences, as well as the
potential decline in the value of assets
that are considered high climate risk, such
as carbon-intensive energy generation
and other emission-intensive products,
services, or technologies.
physical climate risks can impact
both face-to-face and digital banking
experiences. Financial institutions and
service providers need to have backup
technology in place to remain operational
if a severe weather event impacts critical
functions such as data centers. On the
transitional risk dimension of climate
change, financial institutions are expected
to face much stricter regulations, resulting
in higher operating costs and more
complex cross-border transactions.
In the case of Türkiye, Regulatory Risk: regulations such as the
Emissions Trading System (ETS) or the Carbon Border Adjustment
Mechanism (CBAM) may reduce the profitability of customers and
increase the probability of default. This may reduce the Bank's
asset quality. Within the scope of reputational risk, reputational
damage may occur due to failure to meet the climate change actions
expected from banks, and access to capital and financing may

working in the field of climate innovation, supporting the green
transformation of emission-intensive sectors, reducing the emission
intensity of their own portfolios, and raising the awareness of their
customers. Banks, which are an important point of contact for
customers and have professionals with knowledge and experience in
climate action, can help deepen knowledge in this area and channel
investments correctly.

Generative Artificial Intelligence
Integration of artificial intelligence and big data applications into
banking systems is a global trend that has been on the agenda for
a long time. Automated customer identification and authorization,
the creation of responsive and conversational interfaces for front-
end banking, and applications based on powerful analytical data
to enhance anti-fraud and risk management are some of the most
prominent use cases for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine
learning (ML) in banking. While these use cases remain essential,
a notable development in AI that is redesigning the technology is
generative AI (Gen AI).
Generative AI, a subset of artificial intelligence focused on natural
language processing and content production, stands out with
promising potential for the banking sector, especially to use for
improving customer services and experience. Although it is still
in its early stages of development, generative AI is an extremely
important development in terms of a safer and more efficient banking
experience.
A study by McKinsey revealed that this technology can reduce
operational expenses in the banking and finance industry by $200 to
$300 billion and increase efficiency by 3-5%. The biggest impact is
expected in sales, marketing, customer relations, investment services,
and risk and legal departments.

New Regulations and Risk Management
In parallel with global regulations, efforts to prepare local legislation
on fighting climate change and sustainability are accelerating.
Draft regulations and guidelines on Green Asset Ratio, Sustainable
Reporting Standards, and Effective Management of Climate-Related
Financial Risks by Banks are expected to enter into force. These
regulations increase banks' obligations regarding the management of
climate risks.
At the same time, many developments such as climate change,
new business models, and crypto-assets expose companies to a
volatile risk environment and the legal regulations arising from these
risks. Financial institutions, for which risk management is of utmost
importance, need to monitor the constantly evolving risk environment
and exhibit proactive approaches. While macroeconomic risks such
as inflation and uncertain growth expectations create potential credit
challenges, risks such as changing regulations, cyber-attacks and
fraud, integration of artificial intelligence into the banking system, and
ever-changing climate risks constitute important new risk areas.
The coming period is expected to witness significant regulations
affecting the financial sector. For example, in the USA, as part of Basel
III, the FED is preparing to implement refined capital rules for banks
with assets of over USD 100 billion. This regulation will standardize
credit and operational risk approaches by 2028. It will also change
the required bank capital for securitization risks.
As of January 1, 2024, publicly listed large companies in the EU will
have to comply with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive
(CSRD) when preparing their annual reports for 2025. The key
requirement under the CSRD will be a dual materiality assessment,
which assesses the impact of a company's activities on both its
own finances and on wider society and the environment. Smaller
companies will also face the same rules from 2025 on.

Opportunities and Forecasts
Stable Cryptocurrencies
Stable cryptocurrencies, a type of cryptocurrency whose value
is pegged to a currency such as the US dollar or the Euro, have
emerged as a tool to help smooth out the volatility in the value of
other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, which have
seen large fluctuations in value.
In August 2023, the USA positioned itself as a leader in the stable
cryptocurrency area after PayPal announced the launch of PayPal
USD. PYUSD was the first official stable cryptocurrency launched by
a US financial firm, marking a significant milestone for this technology.
In the European Union, stable cryptocurrencies have been
around longer and are being launched by more companies. The
European Banking Authority has begun the process of setting
MiCA requirements for stable cryptocurrencies, with the proposed
regulations expected to come into force in 2024.
Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are being supported by
governments around the world, either to increase financial inclusion
or because they provide more efficient payment methods. A global
agreement on minimum standards for cryptocurrency governance
is likely to emerge after the Financial Stability Board in the USA and
the IMF raised concerns about financial stability and macroeconomic
risks.
Blockchain and Crypto Asset Regulations
The year 2023 saw SEC lawsuits against major crypto exchanges
such as Coinbase and Binance. With these lawsuits, regulators
around the world began to focus on blockchain and related
technologies. While most of the regulatory changes related to
blockchain were specifically related to cryptocurrency, other
blockchain-based projects and products remained in a legal gray
area.
One of the most significant developments in blockchain and
crypto regulations last year was the European Union's Markets in
Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation. This legislation covers currently
unregulated crypto assets and aims to promote both market
integrity and financial stability. MiCA also aims to provide consumers
with more information to make more informed decisions about
cryptocurrencies and the associated risks.
Technology Investments and Digital Core
The transformation of banks into technology companies is a long-
standing trend. According to recent research reported by The
Financial Brand ⁵, 79% of financial institutions plan to increase
their technology spending over the next two years. Research
by Gartner ⁶ predicts that global spending on banking and
investment technology services will exceed USD 652 billion by the
end of 2023. This figure represents an increase of 8.1% compared to
2022.
Today, digital solutions are not just about solving specific problems or
supporting existing systems. Having a modern digital core based on
advanced technologies like digital and cloud, as well as innovative tools
such as artificial intelligence and machine learning has become a vital
requirement for organizations, not a convenience or added value.
A robust corporate digital core is a trend emerging as the foundation for
ensuring competitiveness, overall customer satisfaction and product
innovation, scalability and flexibility, and total cost efficiency across the
entire platform.
Leveraging technology and AI to increase efficiency, better utilize
talents, and improve the delivery of products and services is
increasingly becoming a critical differentiator for banks.
How do we manage? For details on İşbank's practices and
performance in this area, please visit the “Innovative Bank
for 100 Years” section.
Open Banking
Open banking is evolving all over the world, but it is taking different
forms in different parts of the world. For example, the United Kingdom
has adopted the Open Banking Standard, while the European Union
is currently regulating open banking under the PSD2 regulation (soon
to be PSD3). These regulatory standards are paving the way for open
banking adoption in other regions. Deloitte reports that Hong Kong
and Australia are adopting a more regulatory-driven approach to open
banking, similar to the approach seen in the UK and EU.
The USA is a major player that has not yet adopted comprehensive
open banking legislation, but the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau (CFPB) is working to publish a new personal data rights
regulation that will accelerate the adoption of open banking in the USA.
The regulation is scheduled to be published in 2024.

250 employees, a turnover of more than EUR 40 million, or total assets of more than

Cybersecurity
Rapidly increasing digitalization, integration of artificial intelligence,
the banks' increasing number of business partners due to open
banking applications, and “deepfake” incidents that gradually become
more realistic with artificial intelligence technologies continue to
emphasize the importance of cybersecurity measures. Ensuring
cybersecurity and the trust created among customers in this regard
provide a significant competitive advantage for financial institutions.
According to the IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023, the global
average cost of data breaches is USD 4.45 million, up 15% in 3 years.
In the Deloitte Global Future of Cyber Survey, 56% of respondents
reported being moderately or severely impacted by cyber incidents
and breaches, including operational disruption, revenue loss,
reputational damage, and intellectual property theft.
How do we manage? Please visit the “Information
Security at İşbank” section for details on İşbank's practices
and performance in this area.
Access to Talent
One of the most important elements in creating a competitive
advantage for organizations across the world is to access
talented employees and ensure employee commitment. As the
technological transformation of financial institutions accelerates,
there is an increased demand for technically qualified employees,
especially in the fields of artificial intelligence and big data. Qualified
employees are in high demand in all sectors. Another requirement
for the technological transformation of institutions is to increase
the technological literacy of their current employees. Increasing
digitalization in all units, integration of artificial intelligence and big
data processing systems embedded into decision mechanisms
require all employees to have a minimum level of knowledge in these
areas. These developments require increased technology content in
employee development programs.

section for details on İşbank's practices and performance in
this area.
Geopolitical Risks
According to the World Economic Forum's 2023 Global Risks Report,
conflicts and geo-economic tensions are triggering a series of deeply
interconnected global risks. These risks include shortages in energy
and food supplies, strong increases in the cost of living, and decrease
in debt payments, which are likely to continue in the coming years.
These crises also have the risk of undermining efforts to tackle long-
term risks such as climate change, biodiversity, and investment in
human capital.
According to a recent survey by Oxford Economics, companies see
geopolitical tensions as the biggest threat to the global economy. In
its biannual Financial Stability Report, the US Federal Reserve noted
that “geopolitical tensions pose significant risks to global economic
activity, including the possibility of sustained disruptions to regional
trade of food, energy, and other commodities”. The World Economic
Forum's 2023 Risk Report similarly placed geopolitical risks in the
top 10 list of both short-term (two-year) and medium-term (10-year)
global concerns.
A succession of crises has brought significant geopolitical
uncertainty, volatility, and fragility to markets. The war in the Middle
East, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and US-China tensions have
accelerated geopolitical fragmentation. The humanitarian crisis
caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict has also led to increased risk
exposure in capital flows, trade, and commodity markets around the
world. As geopolitical competition increases, so does the scope,
scale, and sophistication of cyberattacks.
How do we manage? Please visit the “Risk
Management” section for details on İşbank's practices and
performance in this area.
Changing Competitive Environment
The banking and finance sector is one of the sectors where
competition is changing the fastest today. Traditional financial
institutions have to compete both among themselves and with new
fintechs entering the industry. As the number of digital transactions
in retail banking transactions increases, the number of banks that
serve only as digital banks is also increasing. Applications such as
digital wallets, account-to-account money transfers, buy now pay
later, etc. are giving rise to alternative payment systems. Banks are
increasingly partnering with fintechs and other technology companies.
As the number of alternatives increases, customers' expectation of
communication from multiple sources increases and brand loyalty
decreases.

Sustainability Leader
Esteemed Stakeholders,
In the business world, where global dynamics change, consumer
behavior shifts, and the importance of human capital increases,
sustainability comes to the forefront as one of the key elements
shaping the future. As İşbank, a bank that has integrated
sustainability into all its processes with the vision of "becoming
the bank of the future that creates sustainable value", and as we
enter our 100th anniversary and perform at international standards
in this field, we develop all our activities and services in the light
of scientific studies and in consideration of changing stakeholder
expectations.
As an institution nearly as old as the Republic, contributing to the
economic and social welfare of our country has been the most
important mission of our Bank since our founding. Creating an order
that is inclusive, environmentally responsible, and fair while ensuring
social welfare can only be possible through the integration of
environmental, social and governance factors into decision-making
processes. Based on this necessity, we carry out our sustainability
efforts in coordination and cooperation with the participation
of all relevant departments of our Bank, covering governance,
coordination, strategy, marketing and operational processes in line
with systematic and international best practices.
The Sustainability Committee, which operates under the Board of
Directors, the highest governance body of our Bank, also includes
members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board. This
governance structure ensures that our sustainability activities are
managed from a holistic perspective and that interdisciplinary
interaction is supported.
Our Efforts for a Sustainable Economy and Future
In order to combat climate change and accelerate the transition
to a low-carbon economy, we adopt an end-to-end business
model that extends from procurement of resources to provision of
these resources to our customers through sustainable products
and services. We aim to reduce emissions resulting from our own
operations as well as those of our customers and suppliers. We see
decarbonization, especially from our loan portfolio, as one of the
top priorities in terms of emissions from our operations in building a
sustainable future.
In 2023, we procured 100% renewable energy for the electricity
consumed by our own operations, while implementing energy
efficiency measures. As of the end of 2023, we reduced our
emissions by 79%, while shifting our carbon-neutrality target from
2035 to 2026.
In 2022, as a signatory of the Net-Zero Banking Alliance established
at the United Nations, we made a commitment to align our loan
portfolio with science-based net-zero emission targets by 2050. In
this context, we prioritized supporting our customers’ transition to a
net-zero economy. In terms of emissions from loans, we started to
plan the actions to be taken by creating sectoral decarbonization
routes starting from carbon-intensive sectors. We puclicly disclosed
our 2030 targets for emission reductions in the energy, iron-steel
and cement sectors, which are among the carbon-intensive sectors
we prioritized in 2023. Accordingly, we aim to reduce emission
intensity by 61% in the energy production sector, 21% in cement and
10% in iron-steel by 2030 compared to the base year 2021. The
targets we have set represent a fundamental elements of our Bank's
sustainability strategy and reflect our aim to be a guiding business
partner in the green transformation of our customers. In parallel with
our decarbonization efforts, we also announced that we will gradually
phase out coal financing by 2040.
We evaluate climate change issues not only in terms of emission
reduction and adaptation but also in terms of the opportunities
created for the green transformation of the business world. In this
regard, our Bank continues its efforts to offer both product packages
and consultancy to its customers and to be a solution partner in their
transformation.
As a reflection of our ongoing efforts in the field of sustainability,
we raised our 2023 score to the "A" level, defined as the global
leadership category, in the CDP Climate Change Program, which we
have been reporting on since 2019. We also raised our score to the
"A-" leadership level in the Water Security Program.
Our Responsible and Inclusive Banking Efforts
As an organization that believes equal participation of all segments of
society in the economy and increasing the effectiveness of women in
business life are requirements of sustainable development, we carry
out activities that consider gender equality in our banking activities.
Being a signatory of the United Nations Women's Empowerment
Principles (WEPs), our Bank published the "Women's Empowerment
Declaration" in 2023, which sets out that women's economic
independence and their active role in business life are among the
Bank's strategic priorities. We have made a commitment of providing
TL 100 billion financing women entrepreneurs by 2028 and financial
literacy training to 15,000 women entrepreneurs. In our value chain,
we implement action plans that aim to develop new, innovative, and
good practices from end to end, from human resources practices to
financing/sales activities that affect customers, from procurement to
corporate social responsibility. In this way we aim to assist women
overcome economic difficulties and become more active in economic
life.
2023 was also a year in which we continued to increase the diversity
of transactions in sustainability-themed funding. In 2023, we
provided USD 2.4 billion worth of sustainability-themed funding to
our country, some of which was allocated to the earthquake region.
From the first day of the earthquake, we have aimed to maximize
the financial support we provide to the region by mobilizing both our
own and external resources and to make a permanent contribution
to recover the effects caused by earthquake disasters in the region.
With the resources we have provided, we will continue to increase
the support we give to areas such as renewable energy, energy and
resource efficiency, and to support women entrepreneurs in order to
increase women's participation in business life. We also broke new
ground in the sector this year by issuing a green bond worth TL 500
million with a two-year maturity. The transaction is the first green debt
instrument issuance in TL by the banking sector in Türkiye.
Developments in the Operating Environment
In 2023, the Public Oversight Authority decided to adopt the
standards published by the International Sustainability Standards
Board (ISSB), which was established under the International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), to develop a transparent and
comparable reporting framework in the field of sustainability. The
Turkish Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS) were published
on the basis of "General Provisions on Disclosure of Sustainability-
Related Financial Information" and "Climate-related Disclosures"
fully compliant with IFRS. As İşbank, we closely follow the recent
standardization processes in the sustainability reporting universe,
both in terms of our own activities and those of our customers, and
we welcome the developments evolving towards a single standard
in this field. Throughout our integrated reporting journey, we have
had the opportunity to effectively manage our sustainability efforts,
assess our environmental and social impacts, set our sustainability
goals, and share these goals with our stakeholders in a transparent
way. Certainly our experience in reporting will provide a strong base
for the developments in international and local reporting practices
and standards.
I would like to thank all our stakeholders, especially our employees
and customers, for accompanying us on our sustainability journey.
At İşbank, we have been working with the aim of adding value to
the world, our country, and society for a hundred years under the
guidance of our founding values, and we make plans to shape our
second century with the same sense of responsibility in line with
these values. We invite all our stakeholders to take joint action with
us for a more livable world where all segments of society participate
equally in the economy, gender equality is achieved, and natural
resources are used responsibly.
Yours sincerely,

How Do We Create Value?
Sustainability at İşbank
The Turkish economy grew by 4.5% in 2023 thanks to the continued
strong course of consumption expenditures and the contribution
from the increase in investment expenditures due to the earthquake
disaster. The Turkish banking sector maintained its strong outlook in
2023 and continued to support economic activity.
In 2023, İşbank continued to create value for the development of
the country’s economy and society and to pioneer technological
development in the sector with our strong and productive business
model, which we structured in line with our vision of "becoming
the bank of the future, creating sustainable value with an inclusive
and participatory approach" and our strategy of "managing our
balance sheet to ensure sustainable and value-added growth while
using our internal and external resources in accordance with the
priorities of the country’s economy and preparing our enterprise for
the future by continuously improving our business model along with
our group companies and all our business partners in the period of
technological transformation."
As of year-end 2023, İşbank had largely achieved its 2023 targets
and maintained its title as "Türkiye's largest private bank" in terms of
total assets, loans, deposits, and shareholders' equity.
Loans accounted for 46.8% of İşbank's total assets of TL 2.5 trillion
as of year-end 2023. The Bank's total cash loans increased by 51.1%
in 2023. Compared to the end of the previous year, retail loans and TL
commercial loans increased by 89.2% and 36.6%, respectively, with
total growth in TL loans reaching 56.3%. FX loans contracted by 9.7%
in USD terms, which is in line with the previous year.
Deposits continue to be the main source of funding, with a 67.7%
share in total liabilities. In 2023, the Bank's total deposit volume
increased by 78.5%. The steps taken within the framework of
the liraization strategy were decisive in deposit development and
customer preferences, with TL deposits increasing by 128.1%, while
foreign currency deposits contracted by 9.1% in USD terms.
In 2023, our shareholders' equity and capital adequacy ratio
remained strong, supported by our net profit. In 2024, in order to
ensure that our strong financial structure and capital adequacy are
maintained under all conditions, we will prioritize the management
of our balance sheet with a proactive and prudent approach by
considering the risk-return balance.
In its second century, İşbank will be positioned as one of the leading
institutions building the future and will carry out all its activities with
the goal of creating sustainable value by putting people, society,
and the environment at the center. İşbank's strategic priorities
include providing an open, integrated, and seamless banking
experience to customers from all segments of society; creating
value in cooperation with key actors and sectors of the economy;
and supporting entrepreneurship, which is seen as the building
block of sustainable development and has a high potential to create
value for the economy. Just as İşbank helped lay the foundations
of industrialization in our country in the years of the establishment
of the Republic, it will continue to use the transformative power of
technological innovations, especially artificial intelligence, which
is considered to be the revolution of today, for the benefit of all its
stakeholders.
Aiming to create shareable and long lasting value for our country
since its foundation, İşbank’s sustainability approach has been
summarized as “İşbank Banking”.

making processes, positions sustainability as one of the focal points
of its corporate strategy. İşbank carries out all its efforts in this
direction under the ownership of senior management and with the
participation of all employees.

The "Sustainability Management System" is a regularly updated
that was developed in 2015 to frame the Bank’s approach to
sustainability and its environmental, social, and governance activities.
The Sustainability Management System is based on İşbank’s
Sustainability Policy and other supplemental policies approved by the
Board of Directors.
The İşbank Internal Control Division oversees the operations that
are performed within the Sustainability Management System and in
compliance with the Bank's Sustainability Policy. The activities are
designed to test the effectiveness of the controls defined within the
scope of the Sustainability Management System, assess compliance
with rules and standards, and ensure the accuracy of environmental
and sustainability-related data used as inputs in the Integrated
Annual Report. The annual Sustainability Management System audits
assess the Bank's sustainability commitments, targets, and progress
toward these targets and share findings and recommendations
In addition, the Bank adheres to with the international ISO 14001
Environmental Management System standards for assessing
and managing of environmental impacts, and the Internal Control
Division performs “internal audit” activities outlined in the ISO
14001-Environmental Management System.

Our Key Stakeholders:

How Do We Respond to Stakeholder Expectations?
According to the 2023 stakeholder expectations survey, the most
important expectation communicated to the Bank by employees
was the dissemination of next-generation working models. İşbank's
Next-Generation Working Model aims to provide employees more
flexible and agile working conditions with a focus on employee
satisfaction and productivity. Implemented in 2022, the working
model offers several working models depending on the nature of the
work performed, as well as extra periodic flexibilities such as working
from a different city over the summer. In 2024, efforts are underway
to make the working model permanent; in this context, the Next-
Generation Working Model Panel was held with the participation of
20 employees with various titles and positions to listen to employees'
demands and expectations regarding remote and flexible working
and to generate insights. In parallel with the insights gained during the
panel and employee assessments, it is aimed to redesign the current
model in a way that supports efficiency and employee experience
, with the goal to make it permanent in 2024. In this context, the
number of regional offices known as MaxiOfis, which were introduced
in 2023 as part of the "My IS is everywhere" vision, increased to 12.
Within the scope of opportunity, Branch employees were given the
same flexibility in terms of working hours and location as Head Office
employees

of new working models at İşbank

"The Future of Business and New
Working Models"
İşbank uses a dynamic process and a multiple-stakeholder engagement
approach to identify and manage its corporate priorities.
İşbank conducts an annual materiality analysis to review current
material topics. The dynamic process of materiality analysis benefits
from the opinions of numerous stakeholders, changing regulations
and standards, corporate strategies, and significant changes on
the global agenda. The materiality analysis considers, performance
indicators associated with strategic issues, present and future risks
and opportunities related to the topics, as well as the expectations of
relevant stakeholders.
The Bank used the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS)
of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG), IFRS S1
(General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial
Information) published by the International Sustainability Standards
Board (ISSB), which is part of the International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) organization, and Global Reporting Initiative Standards
(GRI)to determine material topics.
In 2023, İşbank reviewed its material topics using a "double materiality"
approach. İşbank uses the double materiality approach to assess the
topic's impact on business strategies, including both financial and
non-financial impacts, when setting its material topics. The financial
and reputational risk that each topic in the materiality analysis poses
to the Bank, the amount of impact the topic will have on the relevant
stakeholders, and the Bank's ability to influence the topic are all
examined simultaneously. İşbank adopts a long-term impact approach.
Therefore, even if a topic has a short-term financial and social impact of,
medium and long-term social and financial impacts are also considered
along with the level of stakeholder expectations and the Bank's ability to
influence the topic.
İşbank analyzes risks and opportunities for all topics in the impact
matrix. Financial, operational, environmental, and reputational risks of the
topics are all examined and managed simultaneously.
While creating the 2023 impact matrix, the topic's financial impacts on
İşbank were examined on the "X" axis. The data used here was came
from the questions posed to the Board of Directors, Executive Board,
and Bank executives, as well as the sustainability teams’ assessment.
The "Y" axis represents İşbank's impact level on the topic. More than
2,500 stakeholders and Bank executives were polled for their feedback
while this data was being complied. All topics in the impact matrix were
also analyzed and weighted based on the risk and opportunity potential
that they pose to the Bank. The Bank's Board of Directors, Executive
Board, and executives conducted independent risk-opportunity
assessments, which were then consolidated after consultations.
The material topics reviewed in 2023 were divided into 3 groups. The
Integrated Annual Report contains detailed information about our
performance and targets on topics identified as “highly important”. The
Report offers exemplary projects and performance indicators for the
“important” topics group. İşbank closely monitors “less important” topics,
however the report does not provide detailed performance data.
Double Materiality Steps
Step 1: Topic List
Step 2: Evaluation of topics
A list of topics with the potential to affect
İşbank and vice versa was prepared.
The process to into account, corporate
strategies, changing legislation and
standards, sectoral practices, corporate
engagements, global trends, and
stakeholder expectations.
2.1. Evaluation of stakeholder expectations:
In 2023, a stakeholder survey was conducted
with the participation of approximately
2,500 stakeholders. A review of the results
of expectation and satisfaction research
conducted for various stakeholder groups
and media led to the determination of the
expectations of key stakeholders from İşbank
regarding sustainability.
2.2. Financial impact: The significance
level of the financial impacts of the topics
mentioned in the list of topics on the Bank was
examined through extensive management
meetings, corporate strategy and engagement
requirements, benchmarking study results, and
global trends.
2.3. İşbank’s impact on the topic: All topics
were assessed and explored in terms of the
Bank's positive and negative social, economic,
and environmental impacts on the topic, as well
as the risks and opportunities the topic poses to
the Bank and its stakeholders.
Step 3:
Selection of material topics:
The assessed topics were added to
the impact matrix.
Step 4:
Validation meetings:
İşbank executives reviewed and
approved the prepared matrix.

Climate Action
Climate change is the most important issue facing the
planet. Changing climate conditions are fundamentally
altering the way of doing business in many sectors.
Those at the bottom of the income pyramid are the
most adversely affected by this rapid transformation.
The transition to a “Green Economy” is among the most
important agenda items of the global economy.
Business models that do not consider environmental risks show
that companies will face resource issues in the medium and long
term, and this, in turn, will create multidimensional risks for financial
institutions.

Financial
Performance
and Profitability
An innovative, environmentally sensitive economy
where all segments of society are represented is among
the most important enablers of social peace.
The turbulent global economy, rapidly changing risk matrices,
and a changing and differentiating competitive environment are
factors that make sustainable profitability difficult. Companies
without stable financial performance have difficulty surviving in
this conjuncture.
Digital Banking
and İnnovation
Increasing digitalization in the financial sector increases
the accessibility of financial products, but also brings
cyber security issues.
Banking and finance are among the sectors most affected by
increasing digitalization and resulting changes in customer
preferences. Institutions that cannot keep up with these changes
are pushed out of the competition.
Employee
Rights,
Commitment
and
Satisfaction
The consequences of inequalities in access to
education all over the world are also felt in the labor
market. Providing employees with the necessary
skills to ensure a fair and participatory economic
order is both a responsibility and an important
competitive advantage for institutions.
High employee turnover and loss of talent are among the
major operational risks affecting all sectors. A well-equipped
workforce with digital competencies provides a significant
competitive advantage for all institutions.
Equal
Opportunity,
Diversity,
and Gender
Equality
The participation ratio of women and girls in social and
economic life is one of the most important indicators of
social welfare.
Economic development is only possible if all segments of
society participate in the economy on equal terms. In countries
where women's participation in the economy is low, statistics on
innovation and the distribution of national wealth also lag behind.

How do We Manage?
Efficient Risk
Management
It is crucial for institutions to consider their
environmental and social impacts and integrate them
into their financial processes in order to solve many
global issues, especially climate action.
In the new global economy, the management of non-financial
risks is as important as financial risks. Many social and
environmental risks such as compliance with regulations,
risks arising from climate change, human resources risks, and
reputational risks affect the sustainability of organizations.
Business
Ethics,
Transparency,
Corporate
Management
Regulations in the banking and finance sector are
diversifying every year. The reporting, compliance
with ethical principles, and transparency
obligations of institutions are increasing at the
same rate. The risk of non-compliance is one of
the leading risks that threaten all institutions.
Customer
Centricity
Financial
Inclusion
One of the most important ESG impacts of the
financial sector is to provide inclusive products
and services that enable disadvantaged
segments of society to participate in the
economy.
Increasing access to financial products and
enabling everyone to contribute to the economy
are among the sustainable development goals
and among the most important responsibilities of
the banking and finance sector.
Failure to comply with new regulations and reporting
requirements entails significant financial and non-financial
risks.
Rapidly changing customer preferences due to the
impact of sustainability, increasing access to financial
services, and fintechs becoming competitors to traditional
banks are developments that increase the importance
of understanding changing customer expectations.
Corporations that do not invest in this area may lose their
competitive advantage in the market.
Offering products and services that address the needs of
all segments of society contributes positively to the market
share of financial institutions.

also with their values, gain a competitive advantage. They
increase their legitimacy, brand value, and reputation in the
eyes of society.

Alternative working models that increased with
the pandemic have become permanent in many
sectors. Remote working, hybrid working, and
project-based business models are increasingly
finding a place in traditional working life and are
preferred by employees.
Supply chain disruptions and incidents of non-
compliance threaten operational sustainability
in many sectors, and institutions are becoming
increasingly responsible for the performance of
their supply chains.
The adoption of remote working and hybrid working
models stands out as practices that increase employee
satisfaction. The financial performance of institutions with
high employee loyalty and satisfaction also increases.
Non-compliance in the supply chain can result in
significant financial and non-financial sanctions.
With its leverage, the banking and finance sector
plays an important role in ensuring that finance is
directed towards investments that respect human
rights.
Human rights violations have many negative
consequences, both moral and economic. Institutions that
consider their impacts on human rights in their products
and processes have more effective risk management.

İşbank and its
Activities in 2023
Corporate Banking
İşbank provides customized services and financing
solutions in corporate banking.

Digital Solutions
Cash Flow Products
In 2023, İşbank focused on sustainable profitability to meet customer
needs by considering ecosystem profitability. By deepening the
ecosystem networks of legal entity customer groups, product and
service infrastructures that digitalize cash flows, especially through
next-generation digital banking and digital platforms, were effectively
made more accessible to customers. Innovative models were
designed, and penetration was accomplished in a large customer
base, especially for regaining customers whose numbers had
previously declined. As a result of all these activities, TL commercial
deposits and commission income items improved significantly in
2023 compared to 2022. Despite global and national volatility, in the
business unit where TL/FX cash loan placements were effectively
managed, loan demands were met with a holistic profitability
approach by considering the right priorities and keeping the asset
quality in mind in a way to observe the sustainability of our current
loan portfolio and Bank customers. In the funding approach, which
prioritizes TL/FX export loans which provide strong support to the
portfolio and asset quality with their deepening and side income/
earnings impact on the Bank’s customers, their high correlation with
our country's economic growth activity, and their relatively short-
term structure compared to other loans, an optimum management
approach was demonstrated regarding loan maturity structures and
durations. In non-cash loans, the Bank generally concentrated on
balance gains in TL letters of guarantee and foreign trade-related
letters.
In 2023, the focus was intensified in response to changing
client requirements, especially in the expansion of digital cash
management products. By satisfying clients' immediate cash flow
financing needs, the Bank concentrated on expanding products such
as supplier financing, DBS discounting, POS discounting, etc., all of
which are based on account receivable discounts. In these products
and services, which contribute significantly to the ecosystem, a
general depth strategy was implemented in both the supplier and
dealer base. İşbank introduced new digital cash flow products to
satisfy customers' cash flow requirements at their convenience. The
Digital Invoice Discounting product was launched in 2023 under
the name of "Kolay Finansman" through both the Bank's own digital
channels and third-party business partners. With the activation of
these infrastructures, customers were able to meet their financing
needs by discounting their invoices in line with their creditworthiness,
regardless of the the buyer's limits. In addition to financing solutions
based on invoice discounting, the first step towards sustainable
supplier financing solutions in the agricultural sector was product
development based on the current year's producer receipt
discounting.
Again in the current year, İşbank launched the Digital Letter of
Guarantee product for the first time, which got an international award.
Customers can use this product to quickly satisfy their needs for
temporary letters of guarantee under the Public Procurement Law
and letters of guarantee of some private Counterparty companies
via interactive channels. The Beneficiary Company can create the
letter of guarantee in an end-to-end digital environment and deliver it
to the Counterparty company within minutes. In addition, customers
can also use cash flow products on the platforms of the financial
technology companies they work with, rather than the Bank's. In
2023, with the integrations realized through APIs, the Bank's cash
flow products will be available on 3rd party platforms.
International Banking
İşbank collaborates with correspondent banks in processing foreign
trade transactions and payments for its customers. The Bank
effectively manages correspondent bank relations according to the
principle of reciprocity, aims to increase its share in the foreign trade
market, and seeks funding from international sources. In addition
to foreign trade transactions, issuance of letters of guarantee, wire
transfer services, and TL account transactions to be processed
in Türkiye on demand by customers of correspondent banks,
İşbank also fulfills additional service demands in accordance with
the applicable law. Ensuring uninterrupted supply processes by
facilitating it customers access to appropriate financing solutions and
products tailored to their needs, İşbank maintains its efficient and
sustainable collaborations with export insurance, credit agencies, and
other financial organizations.
Developments in 2023: As of year-end 2023, the Bank has been
working with 993 correspondents in 119 countries.
Effective management of relationships with correspondent banks,
export insurance and credit agencies, and other financial institutions
remains crucial in providing resources for energy efficiency projects
undertaken by İşbank customers, especially in light of persistently
high global inflation, interest rates, and economic downturn.

capital market instruments such as equity markets, precious metals,
debt instruments, derivatives, and investment funds and offers
custody and fund valuation services. As a customer-oriented bank, it
also continues its product development and infrastructure projects to
better fulfill the needs of its customers.
Developments in 2023: İşbank continued to issue debt instruments
of different types and maturities to provide long-term funding,
diversify the existing funding structure, eliminate the maturity
mismatch between asset-liability balance sheet items, and prevent
interest rate risk due to short maturity in 2023 as well. By the end of
2023, İşbank had issued domestic debt instruments with a nominal
value of TL 7.2 billion through sales to qualified investors and TL 2
billion through public offerings, contributing to the diversity of TL-
denominated products offered to customers.
İşbank continued to issue different types of bonds in 2023, breaking
new ground in the industry and becoming the first bank to issue
green debt instruments in Türkiye. Due to the demand of both private
and institutional investors, the amount of the two-year-old bond that
was issued through sales to qualified investors in Türkiye was realized
at TL 500 million. The issuance, which will contribute to the financing
of loans for green projects, was a pioneering step towards İşbank's
strategic goal of promoting green transformation and sustainability.
İşbank, together with its subsidiary İş Yatırım, generated 10.26% of
the trading volume on Borsa Istanbul Equity Market as of year-end
2023 and maintained its leadership in the brokerage sector with a

funds dominated by equity and thematic umbrella funds, while İşbank
investors seeking to hedge their FX position and seek returns on FX
deposits turned to hedge funds. İşbank's retail funds market share
was 14.48%. İşbank's gold balance market share, which stood at
13.49% at the end of 2022, was 12.89% according to end-November
data, as a result of the interest in FX Protected Deposits and the
policy of directing investors to TL deposits.
Investors' search for real returns continued as the inflationary
environment persisted in 2023 and Borsa Istanbul, which has
become an important alternative for investors, maintained its appeal.
During the year, the number of investors participating in public
offerings reached record levels due to investors' interest in new share
public offerings.
In the first 9 months of 2023, investors maintained their positions in
FX denominated investment products, and the rise in exchange rates
after the elections played a role in the approximately 50% increase in
the TL balance of these products.
The investment fund balance, which stood at TL 49.6 billion at year-
end 2022, increased by 109% to TL 103.9 billion as of 31.12.2023
due to the intense demand of customers seeking returns. This
investor interest is expected to continue in 2024 as well.

increase in investor interest, the total balance of İşbank investment
accounts grew by 60.6% at year-end 2023 compared to the
previous year.

Developments in 2023: While the number of credit cards at the end
of 2022 was 12.6 million with a market share of 12.64%, the number
of credit cards at the end of December 2023 reached 15 million with
a market share of 12.73%.
On the card acceptance side, the number of POS, which was 611,429
at the end of 2022, reached 660,375 in 2023, increasing from 7.60%
to 8.12% market share.
İşbank aims to be the "Bank of the Future" by providing innovative
goods and services through designing new technologies with a
human focus to make life easier for its customers. In this sense,
the Digital Card experience launched by İşbank in 2023 with the
promise of "Your mobile phone is also your credit card" was also a
first in the sector. Thanks to this new experience, İşbank customers
may now shop and withdraw money from ATMs using their cell
phones, eliminating the need to carry real cards. By enabling the
card to be pocketed at the time of card application, now offers
contactless payment by mobile phone or TR QR Code technology,
bringing the physical card experience in line with the digital payment
experience. The contactless payment method, which was previously
exclusively available for cash transactions in the sector, may now
be used to pay for shopping in installments or with points. With our
vision of becoming the bank of the future that creates sustainable
value, customers using the digital card experience reduced their
use of plastic, paper, and couriers, saving 11.25 tons of Carbon
(Co2) emissions. This value means that approximately 75,000 KM
of vehicle travel was saved, or 375 thousand plastic bags were not
consumed.
Digitizing the card payment experience from end to end, İşbank
started to offer the "Link Collection" service through İşCep. This
service eliminates the need for merchants to use physical POS
equipment for payment collection. The İşCep Link Collection service
enables small and medium-sized business to accept payments by
delivering a link to cardholders via the İşCep app, eliminating the
need for a separate POS device for physical stores or e-commerce
transactions. This simple and less low-cost solution allows the
66
merchant to accept payment without the need for a POS or a website,
and the buyer to make payment without having to carry a card or
enter card information on a website.
Aiming to increase the coverage of payment systems services
through digital collaborations, İşbank collaborated with MOKA,
a subsidiary of the payment institution, to offer the prepaid card
infrastructure of S-Wallet, a mobile wallet application launched
exclusively for Samsung users in Turkey. Thanks to the structure
established by integrating İşbank prepaid card APIs into MOKA,
Samsung digital wallet users can make contactless payments via
their smartwatches and smartphones; they can load as much money
as they wish into their mobile wallets and spend easily and securely,
whether online shopping or in stores, domestically or abroad.
With MOKA Super Physical POS, another innovative product
launched with MOKA, a subsidiary of the payment institution MOKA,
for the first time in the sector, installments can be made to different
bank cards through a bank POS.
Adopting the principle of extending its value chains and products
and services beyond its own channels, İşbank added new ones to
its business partnerships with non-bank players in the sector such
as payment institutions and e-money institutions. Offering card
acceptance services for online shopping through virtual POS services
to payment institutions, the Bank launched a service integrating
physical POS services into payment institutions through APIs.
With the goal of integrating payment systems into its clients'
everyday life, İşbank is constantly improving its loyalty programs
and adding new features that will make a difference in the sector.
Offering credit cards the advantage of instant discounts on certain
expenditures, the Bank has extended this feature to debit cards. In
order to facilitate the collective tracking of MaxiPoints, MaxiMiles and
Cashback privileges for each customer, a new service area called
"My Earnings" was added to the İşCep application.
With digitalization, it is becoming more difficult to keep track of
subscriptions to digital platforms, whose usage is continually
expanding in individual consumption.. İşbank launched the Visa
Token Service application for digital platform subscription payments
and added a separate menu to İşCep to enable customers to view
their subscriptions in one place.
An important experience of daily life is the use of public
transportation. Offering contactless access to public transportation
with its cards, İşbank has expanded this service to 25 cities and is
now working on adding Istanbul to the network.
In order to facilitate its customers' access to card payment services
and increase financial inclusion, İşbank proactively started to offer
ready-made credit card offers via İşCep for customers who do not
own a credit card.

easier for its agricultural customers to access İmece Card privileges
by opening the application for İmece Card product, which plays an
important role in financing agriculture, to İşCep application.

services that they require for both their financial needs and various
phases of life through İşCep. Within this scope, My Home, My Family,

with İşCep" umbrella.
Innovative Banking
The differentiation of communication methods in a digitalizing world,
as well as the widespread use of applications that can be accessed
via smart phones and provide messaging and call opportunities,
have necessitated changes in the way businesses do business
and in people's lives. In this context, with the "Dialogue" application,
which our branch employees can access through the NAR platform,
a solution that enables direct messaging, voice and video calls with
our Bank's individual and commercial customers has been launched.

customers who wish to conduct financial transactions at a distance
in an efficient and risk-free manner, and the messaging, voice and
video calls made through the application are recorded. In addition, the
application allows to send files, which our employees may quickly add

İşbank's main objective is to optimize the risk-return balance by
focusing on effective capital utilization in credit and investment
portfolios, dynamic management of foreign exchange and liquidity
positions as well as cost control, and to further strengthen its balance
sheet structure through a sustainable profitable growth strategy.
Developments in 2023: In 2023, central banks of developed
countries, struggling with global inflationary pressures, gradually
raised policy rates while closely monitoring geopolitical risks. On the
domestic side, in the first half of the year, the CBRT continued to take
steps to enhance the effectiveness of the liraization process, with
the main agenda items being the increase in establishment liabilities
for securities and the tightening of pricing and growth constraints
on commercial and retail loans. The CBRT's simplification decisions
aimed at improving the functionality of market mechanisms and
strengthening macro-financial stability began to be implemented in
the second half of the year, with the main issues being arrangements
prioritizing Turkish lira deposits and the transition from securities
establishment practice to the of charging commission on required
reserves.
In addition to monetary policy decisions, loan, collateral, and liquidity
policy steps focused on strengthening the effectiveness of the
transmission mechanism continued to have an impact on banks'
decisions to manage their total interest-earning assets, particularly

Decarbonization Targets
Climate Risk Management
The Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), established by the United
Nations with the leadership of the financial sector, brings together
more than 140 banks which have committed to align their investment
and loan portfolios with the net zero emissions target by 2050,
representing more than 40% of global bank assets as of March 2024.
The main objective of the Alliance, that has established the first global
banking-specific net zero standard for the banking sector, is to enable
the transition of the real sector to a low-carbon economy by financing
the transformation required for the decarbonization of the economy.
Member banks that undertake to publicly announce their (2030)
intermediate and long-term (2050) targets in line with the Paris
Agreement by complying with the below criteria
Set targets for at least one of the most impactful carbon-intensive
sectors within 18 months of commitment,,
Cover the majority of carbon-intensive sectors within 36 months,
Targets will be reviewed in maximum 5-year periods and new
intermediate targets will be defined for each 5-year period starting
from the first intermediate target year (2030);
Studies should be based on a scientific basis in a way that will
contribute to global climate goals,
Report the annual public reporting of progress against the targets,
and
Studies to be subjected to an independent assurance.
In 2023, İşbank first announced its 2030 targets for emission
reduction in the power generation, cement and iron and steel
sectors, which are among the carbon-intensive sectors. Accordingly,
by 2030,the aim is to reduce the emission intensity by 61% in the
power generation sector, 21% in cement and 10% in iron and steel
compared to the 2021 base year. While determining the sectoral
reduction targets relying on base year values, science-based global
scenarios were taken into account. Mitigation targets and considered
international scenarios are as follows:
The Bank followed the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials
(PCAF) methodology, for calculating the financed emissions in these
sectors. By making a detailed calculation based on sectors, the goal
is to measure as near to reality as possible while maintaining the
highest level of data quality. The aim is to reach the healthiest data by
conducting surveys and one-on-one interviews with customers.
With its decarbonization efforts, the Bank;
Correctly determines the actions that credit customers can take on
the way to decarbonization and to guide customers in this context,
and
Aims to provide the financial support required for green and
sustainable practices that its customers will need during
decarbonization.
In addition to the intermediate targets of the Net-Zero Banking
Alliance, İşbank announced that it would not finance investments in
new thermal power plants using coal and natural gas for electricity
generation in 2020 and would not finance new coal mining
investments in 2021. In 2023, the Bank also announced that it
would end financing coal-related activities by 2040, in line with its
commitments to the Net-Zero Banking Alliance. Within the scope
of the gradual exit from coal, the Bank announced that by 2040,
coal and coal-related "coal mining", "activities related to the logistics
of coal and subcontractor activities" and "infrastructure services
allocated / allocated to support coal-related activities" will be phased
out.
İşbank's commitments to sustainability demonstrate its commitment

Risks arising from climate change are radically affecting business
practices and risk levels across all sectors. It is important for
financial institutions to closely monitor these changes and take the
necessary actions to avoid significant commercial risks and seize
the opportunities created by the transition economy. İşbank takes
into account all risks arising from climate change. These risks are
assessed and prioritized using a combination of qualitative and
quantitative methods.
Climate-related risks and opportunities were integrated into business
processes and addressed in the Business Program, which includes
the Bank's annual targets, and in the Strategic Plan document, which
is prepared with a longer-term perspective.
İşbank aims to:
Be a guiding business partner for customers to develop adaptability
with new regulations such as the Green Deal and Carbon Border
Adjustment Mechanism,
Play a leading role in the green transformation of the national
economy within the framework of Net-Zero Banking Alliance
membership,
Increase the share of sustainability-themed loans and resources in
the balance sheet,
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, vehicle
fuel consumption, and waste production,
Diversify and increase the volumes of environmentally friendly
financing products and increase their volumes.
The Climate Change Risk Policy sets out the principles and
procedures to be followed for detecting, identifying, assessing,
measuring, monitoring, controlling, reporting, and managing the
climate change risks the Bank may face in connection with its
activities. The Climate Change Risk Policy is an integral part of the
Bank's other Risk Policies.
The main purpose of climate change risk management is to ensure
that the Bank's activities are aligned with its climate change strategy.
Responsibilities regarding climate change risk management have
been defined in the form of a triple defense line. The role of the
first line of defense is to ensure that the loan decisions are made
by considering climate change risks. The second line of defense
determines the working principles, rules, policies, and requirements
in relation to the climate change risk. The third line of defense offers
reassurance to the Board of Directors that the existing roles and
responsibilities function properly.
A large portion of the Bank's exposure to climate risk arises from
its customers in the commercial loan portfolio. To meausre this risk,
the commercial loan portfolio covering all sectors is analyzed. A
two-stage approach is followed to assess the exposure of the loan
portfolio to climate risks:
1
A sectoral climate change risk heat map is used to identify
the sectors that should be prioritized when assessing climate
change risk. A 5-level risk scale is used to determine to what
extent each sector is exposed to climate risks.
2
A scenario analysis enables an impact analysis to be performed
for risk events in sectors with high and medium-high climate
risk levels identified by the heat map.
İşbank has added the indicator “Share of Sectors with High Climate
Change Risk Within Total Commercial Portfolio” to the solo risk
appetite framework to prevent the concentration of sectors with a
high exposure to climate change risks within the portfolio and provide
guidance for composition of the portfolio. This indicator is monitored
monthly and reported quarterly.
The impact of a possible carbon tax or carbon trading system
implementation on İşbank is measured through scenario analyses.
With this method, the financial data of loan customers operating in
sectors that are exposed to high transition risks and are expected
to be most affected by such regulations, especially in the energy
generation sector, are subjected to stress tests by considering the
additional liabilities mentioned, and the possible effects of changes
in the customers' creditworthiness on the Bank's balance sheet are
analyzed. Financing assessments are also carried out to contribute
to the carbon emission reduction sectors such as cement, iron-steel,
aluminum, fertilizer, and energy, which will be primarily affected by the
EU Carbon Border Adjustment.
Partnerships for Climate Action
İşbank believes in the power of collective action in combating climate
change. For this reason, the Bank is involved in numerous local and
global initiatives.
ό The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Climate
Program
The program is an independent institution that mediates companies
to report to investors how they manage their activities to reduce
carbon emissions and their risks related to climate change. İşbank
has been reporting within the scope of CDP since 2019.
İşbank took its place among the Global Leaders with an "A" score
with its 2023 Climate Change Program Reporting within the
framework of CDP.
İşbank is a member of the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), which
was established by the United Nations to enable member banks
to align their portfolios with net-zero emissions targets by 2050 in
line with the Paris Climate Agreement. With the NZBA commitment,
İşbank aims to take advantage of the opportunities that will arise
during the transition to a green economy, support customers' ESG
transformations, manage risks related to climate change, and act as
a guiding business partner for companies to improve their ability to
adapt to regulations that will affect economic activity such as the
European Union Green Deal and the Carbon Border Adjustment
Mechanism. With this membership, and in order to achieve its
net zero targets by 2050, the Bank committed to supporting its
customers' transition to a net-zero economy by focusing its 2030
targets on carbon-intensive sectors, and to report and publish the
progress it has made in its emission targets on an annual basis.

the ecosystem continued in 2023 as well. The Sea Explorer, an
unmanned underwater glider, which was made available to METU
to support the marine studies of the entire academia and scientific
world under the leadership of the METU Institute of Marine Sciences,
was launched in the Marmara Sea during the critical period when
oxygen levels dropped to the lowest points following its explorations
in the Marmara Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. With the research,
the risks of mucilage will be mapped comprehensively for the first
time in Türkiye.
İşbank participates in the activities of the Climate Risk Sub-Working
Group of the Banks Association of Türkiye (TBB). The Bank
expressed its opinion on the Communiqué on Green Asset Ratio
(Draft).
ό Managing of Water Risks
At İşbank, water-related risks are assessed holistically within the
framework of corporate risk management. Water risks related
to “physical damage” in terms of the Bank's own operations are
evaluated under the “Physical Damage/Risk” category of operational
and climate change risk classifications. These risks, such as damage
to assets as a result of heavy rains and floods, are assessed with the
Top-Down Risk Assessment methodology, which is an approach
used to assess and prioritize operational risks that may arise while
conducting activities. The Bank conducts an annual “Environmental
Risk Assessment” for its direct operations, including water, waste
management, compliance with legal obligations, employee health
and safety, and other water risks related to suppliers.
Drought risk, which may increase in frequency and severity in
connection with water and climate change risks, may have a
significant impact on the Bank's asset quality, particularly through
loans extended to Hydroelectric Power Plants (HPP). Increased
frequency and severity of weather events such as hail, storms, and
heavy rainfall that may damage cultivated crops may halt production
and reduce yields in the agricultural sector. Extreme weather events
may lead to increased default risks for customers and deterioration
in the quality of loans extended to sectors exposed to water risks,
particularly the agricultural sector.
Increased frequency of extreme weather events, such as floods
could result in damage to the Bank's assets and/or customer assets
(e.g. assets in safe deposit boxes) located at the Bank's premises.
In addition, there are risks such as loss of value of the real estates
in the Bank's collateral portfolio due to events that may occur in the
short and long term, such as severe floods and sea water rise. İşbank
carries out studies in cooperation with the main stakeholders in its
ecosystem in risk assessments regarding water.
Within this scope:
Various collaborations are conducted with TEMA.
Regarding effective measurement of water footprint and efficiency
studies, cooperation is being carried out with the Frankfurt School
of Finance & Management.
At Farmer Meetings, participation of academics who know the
region, water, and soil and can guide farmers is ensured, and
cooperation with universities is developed.
The Bank works effectively with non-governmental organizations,
chambers, and unions.
Credit campaigns for irrigation systems are organized, and
initiatives using new technologies are introduced at fairs and
Farmer Meetings.
ό Water Management Platform
A cooperation was established with the Water Management Platform
offered by Blueit, Türkiye's first industrial and artificial intelligence-
supported company that monitors water consumption in industrial
facilities and commercial buildings in real time and optimizes it by up
to 20%, Platform aims to provide SME customers with the services
of efficient use and effective management of water, receiving
instant water consumption data, and providing control and technical
support with remote access for 12 months. The Water Management
Platform analyzes water consumption data collected from water
meters, flow meters, and sensors according to ISO and various water
regulation standards and ensures the most efficient use of water.
With the technology developed specifically for SMEs, both water
costs and water-related energy costs of enterprises are reduced, and
wastewater discharge is optimized.
ό Managing of Forest Risks
In all projects financed by İşbank, customers are required to comply
with national laws and regulations on forestry. İşbank evaluates
the potential ESG risks of projects according to the ÇESMOD
methodology.
With the ÇESMOD methodology, critical habitat and sensitive areas
evaluation and balancing strategy work are addressed in order to
conduct an assessment of forest-related risks. İşbank considers the
project's environmental impact in terms of deforestation and use
of forests. For example, large-scale highway projects are classified
as high-risk (A) projects as they use a significant amount of land.
İşbank requires project companies to take certain measures, such
as relocating trees around the project area to appropriate areas and/
or planting trees in place of any cut down, in order to eliminate the
negative effects of the investment in sensitive areas. Tree planting
commitments are received from projects, particularly linear projects
and thermal power plants. These commitments are included in
contracts and monitored annually.
ό Managing of Biodiversity Risks
While risk categories are identified as part of the Environmental
and Social Impact Evaluations done by the Bank, biological risks are
evaluated on a per-project basis. A Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) is
requested for projects in the Risk A category with high biodiversity
risks. In the ÇESMOD question set, the need for a critical habitat
assessment and balancing strategy study is required for all relevant
projects. On a sectoral basis, additional impact questions such as bat
habitat, bird migration routes, and biodiversity issues are considered.
Investigations are carried out together with biologists in projects
that are monitored within the scope of ÇESMOD and involve high
biological risk, and related problems are evaluated on a project-
specific basis.
Environmental and Social
Risk Management in Loans
At İşbank, new investment projects with an investment value over
USD 10 million are subjected to the Environmental and Social Risk
Evaluation Tool (ÇESMOD). With the updates made to the ERET model,
which İşbank had used to calculate the Environmental and Social Risk
Score of investments, ÇESMOD (Environmental and Social Model),
a new Environmental and Social Risk Evaluation Model that is more
closely aligned with the global risk measurement standards and can be
tailored according to the type of investment, was developed. In 2022,
the transition process from ERET was completed, and the new model
was put into use.
In the ÇESMOD Model, environmental and social (E&S) risk scores
for investments financed by the Bank are calculated following initial
evaluations conducted with specific sets of questions based on the
type of investment, e.g. new facility development, capacity expansion
and/or additional facilities, or refinancing/procurement, with evaluations
conducted with specific sets of questions based on the sector in
question.
Sets of questions based on type of investment and
sector:
EIA decisions, environmental permits, environmental and/or social
impact evaluation,
Nature preserve, critical habitat, and ecosystem evaluations,
Earthquake risk,
Natural resource use,
Waste management,
Air, soil, and water quality,
Noise and dust,
Occupational health and safety, public health and safety,
Management of chemicals,
Factors such as those listed above, the scope of which is set out
in the applicable laws and regulations, are evaluated and scored
using questions specifically developed based on the activities of the
company being evaluated. In the ÇESMOD model, sector-based
questions are asked on both groundwater and surface water resources,
and risk scores are determined accordingly. Where necessary, forest
and water-related permits are requested from companies on a
project basis. Within the scope of the EIA regulation, IFC Performance
Standards, Equator Principles, and EBRD Performance Criteria,
İşbank also assesses how the project affects biodiversity and nature
preserves.
Based on the evaluations made, the risk level of the project is
determined as high (A), medium high (B+), medium low (B-) or low (C).
A "Project Environmental and Social Evaluation Document" is prepared
based on national and international legislation and good practices
(e.g. IFC Performance Standards, EBRD Performance Requirements,
Equator Principles), and the document is then added to the loan folder
which is submitted for approval.
For all projects deemed eligible based on the evaluations by the
Sustainable Finance (SF) team, including but not limited to those
projects which are classified by İşbank as high-risk (risk category A), an
independent environmental consultant is assigned to act on behalf of
the Bank.

Environmental and Social Status Evaluation (ESSE), which describes
the current status and applicability of any permission/approval process
regarding environmental obligations as well as the consultant's
comments, and an Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP),
which describes how to limit and eliminate this impact and manage
the process, are drawn up and submitted to the Bank. When deemed
necessary, the consultant is requested to carry out periodic monitoring
studies on these ESAP items throughout the loan term. In projects
where an independent environmental consultant is not appointed,
ESSE, ESAP and monitoring activities are carried out by İşbank SF
service specialists if necessary.
In 2023, 27 investments were subjected to Environmental and Social
Risk Evaluation and 12 of these projects have been funded. A total of
130 projects were financed between 2013 and 2023.

İşbank Sustainable Finance Framework
İşbank expanded the scope of the Sustainability Bond Framework in
2021 and has transformed it into the Sustainable Finance Framework.
This allows the Bank to focus eurobond issuance and loan processes
on green, social, or sustainability themes. Funds obtained from the
bonds issued under the framework will be allocated to projects with
a positive environmental impact in the areas of renewable energy,
energy efficiency, recycling, organic agriculture, clean transportation,
green buildings, and circular economy, and to finance loans with
a positive social impact, such as financing SMEs and women
entrepreneurs in underdeveloped regions. The opinion of an external
evaluation institution was obtained for the Framework prepared in
accordance with the Green Bond Principles, Social Bond Principles,
and Sustainability Bond Guidelines published by the International
Capital Markets Association (ICMA) and the Green Loan Principles
published by the Loan Market Association(LMA).
Sustainability Analysis System (SÜRAS)
As climate change and its risks are increasing, there is a need to
improve existing ways of doing business and review them in line with
international best practices. Therefore, in addition to the investment
types evaluated within the scope of ÇESMOD, a process for
assessing environmental and social risks was designed and put into
operation for the commercial loan portfolio in 2022. The new process,
called the Sustainability Analysis System (SÜRAS), includes the
“Environmental and Social Question Set”, which enables companies
to determine the environmental and social risks and the “Climate
Change Question Set”, which enables the companies to determine
awareness and resilience levels on climate change risks. SÜRAS
also enables an effective customer analysis process for loan uses
from resources provided by international financial institutions. The
new system also includes question sets, which ask for environmental
and social criteria that are expected to be fulfilled by customers as a
condition of use from these international loans.
Activities Not Financed
İşbank rejects any loan applications for activities on the İşbank
Exclusion List, which the Bank included in the annex to its
Environmental and Social Impacts Policy, without even taking them
into consideration. Among activities not financed by the Bank are
investments involving forced labor and child employment, the
production of weapons of mass destruction and landmines, and the
production and trading of internationally prohibited chemicals, drugs,
or substances that are harmful to the ozone layer.
Loans for financing greenfield investments of coal- and natural
gas-fired thermal power plants for electricity generation and new
coal mine investments are included in the İşbank Exclusion List. In
2022, gold mining using cyanide, and activities prohibited by national
legislation and international conventions regarding the protection of
biodiversity resources and cultural heritage were also added to the
activities not financed.
In 2023, "Activities violating human rights", "Capacity increase of
existing coal mines and coal-fired power plants", "New coal mines
using the Mountain Top Removal Mining (MTR / MTM) method",
"Radioactive material (power generation plants and health equipment
that meet the best international standards and are established to
meet the basic energy needs of the country and are critical for the
country's economy, production and/or trade (except in cases where
the use of quality control devices and radioactive materials is limited,
insignificant and adequately protected)" and "Trade in goods without
the necessary export/import licences or other evidence of transit
clearance" were added to the Bank's List of Non-Financed Activities.
On the same date, in order to support the green transformation of
the economy, İşbank announced that it will gradually phase out coal
finance by 2040.
Products and Services
Contributing to a Green Economy
As a source of finance, banks have the power and opportunity to
create green transformation in the economy through their lending
processes. Recognizing its power and responsibility, İşbank develops
numerous products and services that support a green economy.
In international debt markets, the Bank has the opportunity to
access these resources due to investor interest in green, social,
and sustainability themed/linked resources, especially in recent
years, with the aim of reducing the negative impacts of climate
change and creating equal opportunities for various segments
in the social sphere. Within this scope, the Bank closely monitors
both developments in local legislation and such borrowings in
the international arena and regularly and continuously evaluates
sustainability-themed eurobond issuances and sustainability-
themed/linked loans that are in line with its needs and expectations.
The İşbank Sustainable Finance Framework was established for such
issuance opportunities, and within the scope of the Global Medium
Term Note (GMTN) Program, efforts are made to make maximum use
of such issuances and to increase the share of sustainability-themed/
linked borrowings in overall borrowing.
With the introduction of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism,
potential carbon tax calculations are being planned for customers
that may be affected by this mechanism and added to feasibility
studies. On the other hand, the aim is to discuss action plans to
reduce the values of loan customers with high emission intensity
within the scope of NZBA commitments.
ό
Financing Renewable Energy
Renewable energy investments play an important role in climate
action and also provide significant economic benefits through the
creation of new business lines. It is essential that renewable energy
investments and technologies are supported to ensure an increase
of renewable sources in energy generation. İşbank is one of the
pioneering institutions in financing renewable energy projects in our
country. All of the new project financing provided by the Bank for
electricity generation investments after 2015 has been allocated to
renewable energy projects.
In 2023, the share of financing provided for renewable energy loans
in the risk of electricity generation loans is 77.3%
The total annual energy savings from these renewable energy
projects is 7,894,870.94 tonnes of CO2. As of 31.12.2023, the total
energy generated by the financed renewable energy projects is 48.13
million MWh.
The renewable energy plants within Borusan EnBW Enerji Yatırımları
ve Üretim A.Ş. have been refinanced by a consortium including
İşbank, and the related loan has been financed as Green Loan within
the scope of the refinancing. The Green Loan covers a total installed
capacity of 594.55 MW. The financing package includes WPP
and SPP plants. An environmental and social management system
("ESMS") will be developed to oversee project activities. In addition,
ISO14001 and ISO 45001 Certification processes have started as of
the beginning of 2022.
Within the framework of the risk category, on behalf of the lenders,
environmental and social impacts have been identified within the
scope of Borusan EnBW Enerji Project within the framework of local
legislation and regulations, Equator Principles, IFC Performance
Standards, EBRD Performance Criteria and international best
practices, and an Environmental and Social Action Plan ("ESAP") has
also been prepared to manage the identified impacts for the Project.
This financing serves Sustainable Development Goals 7.1, 7.2, 13.3
and 17.3.

models that have the potential to impact the future on a global
scale, including impact entrepreneurship with an open innovation
approach,
Developing solutions and value propositions that will assist users

The Health Communication Platform was launched, where all
members living in Türkiye/abroad, regardless of location, and family
members receiving health benefits could make appointments 24/7,
meet with our corporate physicians on the appointment day/time
to receive medical consultancy services and have prescriptions/
medication reports written, and obtain prescribed medicines
from contracted pharmacies only with their register/TCKN. The
contactless pass (card acceptance) system developed for public
transportation was implemented in various provinces of Türkiye.
Efforts are underway to enrich the digital learning content offered
through the Bank's digital learning platform, Learning World, with a
view to equal opportunity in education.

daily business (ERP and pre-accounting applications, marketplace
and payment institution panels, operational solution providers, etc.),
will offer embedded financing solutions (loan products tailored to
their needs) to companies through these platforms, whenever and
wherever they need. The application, which will initially be available
only to real person merchants, is planned to be made available to
legal entity commercial customers in the second quarter of 2024.

Information
Security
Digital transformation brings with it increasing cyber security risks.
İşbank meticulously maintains processes to ensure information
systems' security and secure storage of personal data and
confidential information, which are of great importance today. This is
achieved through consistent investments in security infrastructure as
well as training and awareness programs aimed at fostering a culture
of continuous improvement in security applications.
In 2023, approximately TL 210 million was invested in the information
security and cyber security fields.
The ultimate responsibility for ensuring information security within
İşbank lies with the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is
responsible for creating the necessary strategy, and the Information
Security Committee is responsible for creating and implementing
policies within the scope of this strategy. All organization units of
the Bank are responsible, within the boundaries of their areas of
responsibility, for carrying out their activities in accordance with the
policies and other sub-regulations based on them. Policies and other
sub-regulations regarding information security and personal data
form the basis of any actions to be taken within this scope.
İşbank’s information systems are annually audited by the Board
of Inspectors in a risk-based manner in accordance with the
"Regulation on External Audit Institutions’ Information Systems
and Banking Processes Audits" (BSEB) published by the Turkish
Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BRSA). Within the
framework of the regulations mentioned in the BSEB Regulation, the
following are evaluated: the existence, adequacy, and effectiveness
of a process that includes activities such as a risk assessment study,
approval of the corporate information security policy by the Board
of Directors and supervision of its implementation by the Senior
Management, conducting studies to increase the awareness of the
Bank employees on information security, classifying all data according
to the degree of security sensitivity and conducting security
controls at the appropriate level for each class, implementation of
information security tests, prevention of data loss, and updates of
existing controls and structures created according to technological
development.
Within the scope of audit studies for information technologies (IT),
inspections are carried out for the healthy management of IT risks
and the effective and efficient use of IT resources. The scope of
the said audit work is determined by a risk assessment prepared
by considering the criticality of the applications and systems for
the Bank and their sensitivity in terms of data security. Audits are
conducted based on the BSEB Regulation and internationally
recognized best practices.
In the audit activities by the Board of Inspectors, the effectiveness of
the measures taken for the confidentiality of customer information
is reviewed. In case of a customer complaint submitted to the Bank
in relation to an confidentiality breach due to loss or disclosure of
customer information to third parties, the data and audit trails in the
Bank's systems are analyzed in a holistic and detailed manner, and
any situations that indicate reasonable doubt are examined from an
analytical perspective. In the event of a reasonable suspicion that
such information has been disclosed to third parties, investigations on
the subject are expanded, and if these suspicions reflect the truth, the
necessary measures and decisions within the scope of both internal
regulations and legal legislation are taken without delay. In addition,
the processes described in the Bank legislation regarding provision
of information to customers about the outcome of such complaints
are executed in order to ensure that the complaint owners are notified
about the outcome of the investigations.
In 2023, 307 complaints were received alleging that customer
information was shared, and all of these complaints were responded
to.
Within the scope of internal audit activities, all investigation results
are reported to the Board of Directors through the Audit Committee;
within the framework of audit reports, the measures taken by the
relevant unit managements are monitored.
The Internal Control Division information systems internal control
activities team conducts inspections at checkpoints for the Bank’s
information security process. In addition, various checkpoints for
cyber security on the Bank’s critical IT assets are regularly monitored
at daily, weekly, and monthly intervals as part of level two controls, and
the identified operational issues are shared with the relevant IT units
to correct them. The control activities of the Internal Control Division
within this scope include:
Access, authorization, and security parameter controls on
databases,
Controls for the security of privileged public user accounts and user
groups on servers and databases,
Activity controls of high-privilege users on critical servers and
applications for information security,
Server anti-virus software controls,
Controls for the security of server audit trails,
Data leakage prevention system controls,
Change records controls as part of the operation of the IT
infrastructure change process,
Controls for consultant user accounts,
Regular access and authorization controls to ensure that end-user
privileges are up to date.
The internal control environments regarding the information security
of İşbank's subsidiaries and affiliates and the organizations from
which the Bank receives support services are also evaluated through
audit activities, similar to the audit activities carried out within the
Bank.
Within the framework of the security architecture, there are multiple
layers in the communication network infrastructure of İşbank.
Anti-DDoS solutions are positioned to prevent suspicious external
DDoS (distributed denial of service) traffic. In the outermost
network, incoming and outgoing traffic is controlled by IPS (Intrusion
Prevention Systems) and WAF (Web Application Firewall) systems.
In order to increase security on the communication network, different
zones have been created on the network. Within each zone, there
are different firewalls and access control lists (ACLs), and zones are
protected by customized rules and security defense mechanisms. In
addition, different switches and VLANs (virtual local area networks)
have been established in different zones. Outgoing internet traffic
is analyzed by secure socket layer (SSL) monitoring tools and
protected by sandbox APT (Advanced persistent threat) systems.
All server and endpoint devices are protected by endpoint security
solutions. Authorizations in the systems are made based on role
and in accordance with the principle of separation of duties, and
authorizations are regularly reviewed. The trace records created on
the systems are transferred to SIEM products, and security warnings
are followed by the Security Intelligence and Defense Center within
the framework of predetermined rules on a 24/7 basis, and actions
are taken regarding security incidents.
In line with the BRSA Communiqué on "Penetration Tests for
Information Systems", since 2012, İşbank has been conducting
penetration testing at regular intervals by external firms in order to
detect and correct security vulnerabilities in the Bank's information
systems before they are exploited. Penetration test action plans
prepared regarding the findings of the penetration tests are reviewed
by the audit team, and the "Penetration Test Finding Follow-up
Report" for the current year is reported in the following year.
In 2023, threat modeling studies were initiated in order to
continuously assess applications or services at a satisfactory maturity
from a security and risk perspective. In addition, a Cyber Incident
Response Plan was established to address cyber incidents at the
appropriate level as soon as possible in accordance with their severity
levels and to clearly define the roles, responsibilities, and workflows
within the institution. Every year, tabletop exercises where the plan is
tested using real attack scenarios are carried out separately with the
participation of technical teams and/or senior management, and the
aim is to maintain our maturity level by repeating these with different
scenarios in the following periods.
Information security awareness training is provided and phishing tests
are done to increase awareness among Bank employees. Through
constant awareness programs, the Bank strives to increase the
knowledge of its employees and raise awareness among end users.
Targets for timely information security trainings, information security
governance and awareness activities are assigned and targeted as a
criterion in the executive performance measurement of our relevant
departments.
In 2023, 9,161 employees from the Head Office and branches
received a total of 7,746 hours of training in the fields of cyber
security, social engineering, and information security. In addition,
as part of Cyber Security Awareness Month activities, a "Malware
and Data Breach Seminar" was organized for employees in the
Information Technologies business family. Risky transactions made
by the Bank's customers through digital banking channels are also
regularly monitored, current risks and threats are evaluated, and
necessary actions are taken quickly.

Believing that the responsible use of natural resources and
minimising the impact on the environment in carrying out its
activities are fundamental duties of both individuals and institutions,
İşbank assumes primary responsibility for climate action in order
to continue its activities with minimal impact on the environmental.
The Bank justifies this responsibility with the targets it sets and the
commitments it makes. In addition, İşbank carries out numerous
improvement and efficiency projects to minimise the negative
environmental impact it causes.
Climate targets
As part of the fight against climate change, İşbank has defined its
climate change risk strategy and included climate change risks in its
catalogue of corporate risks.
The Bank has set itself the goal of making its activities carbon-neutral
by 2026, measured by the sum of Scope-1 and Scope-2 emissions
calculated in accordance with the International GHG Protocol. In
2023, the amount of energy generated from renewable energy
sources will account for 100% of total energy consumption.
İşbank took its place among the Global
Leaders by receiving an "A" score in
the CDP Climate Change Programme
Reporting in 2023.
İşbank has committed to validating the identified science-based
emission reduction targets as part of the Science Based Targets
Initiative (SBTi).
By going beyond these targets, the Scope-3 emissions caused by
lending activities and the supply chain were also assessed in 2023
using a target-based approach. İşbank, which is a member of the
Net-Zero Banking Alliance in order to reduce the emissions caused
by its lending activities, discloses the activities carried out in this
context under the category of "Decarbonisation Targets".
Environmental Management
Since 2018, an ISO 14001 Environmental Management System
Project has been in place at İşbank to reduce its impact on the
environment and establish an environmental management system
that meets international standards. As part of the project, 524
employees who will act as environmental officers took part in the
Environmental Management System (ISO 14001) Training and
6 employees who will carry out the internal audit of this system
took part in the Environmental Management System (ISO 14001)
Internal Auditor Training in 2023. Employees starting their careers at
İşbank receive information about the Environmental Management
(ISO 14001) System in the “Getting to Know Our Bank” course as
part of the “Starting My Career” Training. As part of the activities
to raise awareness of the Environmental Management System,
online workshops were organised to inform and raise awareness
with employees about the environmental management system.
Informative content on this topic is shared via the Bank's mobile
application. The Environmental Management System is audited
annually by the Internal Control Division. In 2023, there were no fines
for non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations.
As of 2023, all İşbank locations have ISO 14001 Environmental
Management System Certifications. Efforts are underway to
obtain zero waste certification in accordance with the Zero Waste
Legislation at the locations concerned. As of the year-end 2023,
certified locations accounted for 100% of the Bank’s total number of
locations, and efforts are made to include newly opened branches
in the certification process. Branch data is collected online via the
Sustainability Platform. İşbank intends to maintain its environmental
management system, which it has established at international
standards, in the coming years.
To support the prevention of environmental destruction and
economic losses caused by electronic waste, İşbank sells scrap and
returns toner cartridges for recycling from field devices whose life
cycle is managed by the Information Technologies Department. All
companies sold to have WEEE certificates. All recycling operations
are carried out by authorised companies in accordance with the
Bank's general rules.
As of 2023, all İşbank locations have
ISO 14001 Environmental Management
System Certifications.
Environmentally Friendly Service
Points
Environmentally friendly buildings play an important role in reducing
the negative environmental impact of İşbank's operations. The Bank's
major main buildings, such as the Head Office, operations centre
and data centre, are designed to minimise the Bank's environmental
impact. İşbank's Head Office Tower building in Levent, Istanbul, is
BREEAM In-use Excellent certified. Tuzla Technology and Operations
Centre (TUTOM) is LEED Gold certified.
The Bank's Tuzla Data Centre (Atlas) building is LEED v4 Gold
certified for Data Centers and is the first data centre in Türkiye to
meet these standards. In the Atlas Data Centre building, the data halls
where the IT cabinets are located are cooled with air and the heated
air is used to heat the office areas. In addition, rainwater is collected
via the rainwater collection channels installed in our buildings and
reused in various areas after a certain amount of treatment.
In the Head Office and TUTOM buildings, all wastes are separated
and recycled within the scope of the ISO14001 Environmental
Management System Standard.
Efficiency in Branches
Banka hizmet binalarında, çevresel etkinin düşürülmesi için kaynakların
verimli kullanımı amaçlanmaktadır. Sürekli iyileştirme anlayışıyla
verimlilik The Bank strives to use energy and resources efficiently to
reduce the environmental impact of its service buildings. Efficiency
studies are carried out with a continuous improvement approach.
There is a consumption reduction target for service buildings and the
“Sustainability Platform” software is used to monitor the consumption
of the branches that enter data.
In 2023, the Bank's renovations included modernising the lighting and
heating-cooling systems in the branches, switching to LED lighting,
replacing old air conditioners with high-efficiency air conditioners,
and switching to natural gas in branches heated by coal and diesel oil.
The replacement of air conditioners carried out as part of renovation
works and in the event of malfunctions, leads to energy savings of
30% compared to devices that work with an on/off system. The LED
conversion of the lighting fixtures in all service buildings has been
completed. With the LED conversions carried out in 2023, electricity
consumption of the lights fell by 50% and a total of 991,632.91 kWh of
electricity was saved.
The pumps in the heating, cooling and domestic water system in the
Head Office Tower 1 building were replaced with more energy-efficient
models. In the same building, the installed lighting power per floor was
reduced by 76% by replacing the existing fluorescent lighting on the
floors with LED lights. The lighting level can be adjusted as required
using the touch panels mounted on the floor. Daylight and presence
sensors installed on the floors enable adaptive adjustment of the
illumination level to changing conditions during the day. With the help of
these sensors and touch panels, lighting can be switched on regionally
during working hours and night-time cleaning, for example, and can
be switched off automatically when work is finished. When replacing
the conventional cisterns in all service buildings, models with low water
consumption were preferred and the urinals were replaced by models
with photocells. Toilet faucets are being made more economical. As
part of the ongoing renovation works in our service buildings, 33%
saving in water consumption was achieved thanks to the replaced
cisterns.
Commissioned in 2022, the use of solar panels on the roof of the
visor of the cash machine, which generates electricity from solar
energy, makes it possible to cover the energy needs of a large part
of the facade lighting. Thanks to this system, which helps to reduce
energy consumption, 82 ATMs with solar panels generated 330 Wh
per device per day by the end of 2023. In addition, İşbank carries out
the necessary official application and authorisation procedures for
the investment of a solar energy field to cover all service buildings,
especially the Head Office Buildings.
Efforts to reduce disposable plastics in branches and Head Office
buildings continue. During the reporting period, no new disposable
plastic water cups were supplied, and 0.33 l, 0.5 l and 5 l bottles were
used. The purchase of new paper cups at the Head Office building was
also discontinued, saving resources.
In 2023, 238 million pages of paper were saved through digital, digital
signature and KEP delivery applications. This represents a 25 percent
increase over the paper savings achieved in 2022.
Responsible Supply
Chain Management
Positive or negative impacts caused by institutions are not confined
to the area of their operations but may affect the entire value chain
depending on the size of the institution. Believing that sustainable
development is possible through responsible business models,
İşbank aims to spread its business approach and standards to
its supply chain as well. The Bank cooperates with its suppliers
to disseminate leading practices and products in the field of
sustainability. The Bank strives to achieve sustainable business
success with a financially strong, environmentally friendly, and reliable
supply chain with high-quality production and continuity.
Protecting the environment and using resources sustainably are
essential if the world is to be left better for future generations. In
addition, the importance attached to employee rights, human rights,
and compliance with ethical principles has a major impact on the
development of societies and countries. In this context, sustainability
criteria come to the fore when purchasing products/services in order
to contribute to the aforementioned values.
In accordance with its Sustainability Policy, İşbank seeks to minimize
the negative environmental and social impacts caused by its
suppliers and to maximize the positive effects. In this context, it
considers environmental and social criteria when selecting suppliers.
İşbank has adopted the principle of continuously improving its
employees together with its suppliers, ensuring organizational
excellence and consistently improving business processes.
In line with İşbank's approach to ethical banking, the Supplier
Code of Conduct, which is based on the UN Global Compact and
İşbank’s Human Rights and Human Resources Policy, defines the
main principles and essentials in procurement. Compliance with
these principles and policies is expected from all suppliers. Within
the framework of the Bank's Purchasing Implementation Instruction
and Purchasing Policy, the environmental impact of the products
and services to be purchased is also assessed in accordance
with the requirements of the environmental management system
when selecting suppliers from whom the Bank will purchase the
products or services it requires. In addition, measures are taken to
reduce or eliminate environmental impacts, taking into account the
requirements of national legislation and the Bank’s regulations.
The Bank seeks to collaborate with its global peers and suppliers
in order to lead the way in sustainability by benefiting from best
practices and product examples. The suppliers with whom the
Bank works have operating principles that are compatible with the
Bank's environmental and social sensitivities. Supplier are selected
in accordance with the principles set out in the Purchasing Policy
and Implementation Instructions. When selecting suppliers, the Bank
selects from its existing pool of suppliers, depending on the nature of
procurement in question, or tries to reach new alternative suppliers,
based on predefined criteria. In addition to the specified criteria, the
Bank also considers various parameters such as reference checks,
sector analysis, and financial analysis when identifying alternative
suppliers.

Responsible OperationsLooking Into the FutureAn Overview of İşbankHow We Create ValueReliable Financial ActorGood Corporate CitizenFinancial Reports and Annexesİşbank 2023 Integrated Annual Reportİşbank 2023 Integrated Annual Report In addition, suppliers are regularly visited as part of a specially
designed programme. No suppliers were found to be employing child
labour or no information has been received accordingly. At the same
time, our suppliers are asked about their child labour policies in an
annual Sustainability Survey.
The Supplier Management Principles, which can be found on the
home page of the Bank’s procurement platform, detail the sensitivities
to which suppliers must adhere. These sensitivities are taken into
consideration when selecting suppliers. In procurement activities
or operations that have a high environmental impact, such as
waste water disposal or batteries sourcing, suppliers are assessed
based on their capabilities. No goods or services are procured
from suppliers who fail to submit the required documentation. For
special procurement activities, suppliers who provide the required
documentation are preferred, regardless of price.
İşbank expects its suppliers:
ੵ To act in accordance with environmental and ethical rules,
ੵ To prefer environmentally friendly raw materials and supplies with
minimal impact on the environment in procurement,
ੵ To try to minimize the environmental impact associated with their
production and logistics processes and to be open to collaboration,
ੵ To adapt to developing and changing sector conditions and to
meet quality and logistics performance expectations.
Environmental/social impacts are taken into consideration in the
selection of suppliers in current procurement processes.
ੵ In tenders for the sale of scrap, participating companies are
requested to provide certificates of compliance with environmental
regulations such as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Processing Certificate, Non-Hazardous Waste Collection-
Separation Certificate, Waste Battery and Accumulator Interim
Storage Permit, Hazardous Waste Transport Vehicle Licences and
ISO 14001 Certificate.
ੵ High energy efficiency class air conditioners are preferred for air
conditioning needs
ੵ In the 2023 electricity purchase, renewable energy sources were
preferred for the entire electricity consumption under the Bank's
control
The Bank respects the right of association and collective bargaining.
Sensitivities on this issue are considered in the selection of suppliers.
Purchases of goods and services from suppliers found to be involved
in bribery and corruption practices will be suspended, and such
suppliers will be excluded. The supplier may not employ workers
under the age limit set by law. During the reporting period, there was
no information on negative impacts related to suppliers in terms of
human rights, working conditions, and social criteria. There were
no suppliers whose business relationship was terminated due to
negative impacts.
Every year, as part of the supplier performance management survey,
supplier assessments are carried out using questions directed to
the relevant business unit. Specialized employees working in the
Purchasing Division also evaluate suppliers using the questions
directed to them.
114
In 2023, a Sustainability Survey of 38 questions was sent to suppliers
covering 80% of procurement. The questions in this survey ask
about the existence of a policy or internal regulation to manage water
use and water-related issues, the measurement and reporting of
water consumption during the production phase, the existence of
targets to reduce water consumption, the existence of reporting on
water use, and the actions taken to reduce water use. In 2023, 48
suppliers participated in the survey, representing 59% of purchases.
The annual Sustainability Survey asks suppliers if they have a policy
on preventing/combating child labor. 46% of the 48 suppliers
surveyed for 2023 reported having such a policy. Of the 48 suppliers
surveyed, 12 have 40% female employees, and 10 have 40% and
above females in senior management. In addition, 19 suppliers have a
gender equality policy.
İşbank has adopted the principle of continuous development of
its suppliers, ensuring organisational excellence and continuous
improvement of its business processes. In 2023, the Bank continued
to contribute to the national economy by preferring local suppliers.
In line with this understanding, local suppliers accounted for 94% of
total suppliers and purchases from local suppliers accounted for 97%
of total purchases during the reporting period.
The Bank's main areas of procurement are information technologies,
service building management services, and call centers. As a new
procurement practice will be implemented in the coming period,
supplier records have been reviewed, and data on companies with
which the company has not done business for a long time have
been removed from the database. Therefore, the number of suppliers
subject to reporting has decreased.
Business Continuity
Management Program
The Business Continuity Management Program, which aims to create
an effective response capability to protect the institution’s reputation,
brand, and value-creating activities, complies with the ISO 22301
standard and legal regulations in Türkiye. The program conducts
studies that will be used as input for information system recovery
plans and strategies and monitors branch continuity. The program is
supported by training for all employees.
As part of the Business Impact Analysis studies carried out under
the Bank’s Business Continuity Management Program, all Bank
processes, including critical services, are evaluated each year in
terms of financial, reputational, customer satisfaction, legal, legislative,
contractual and operational impacts that may result from the
disruption of these processes.
As a result of the assessment, the “Criticality Level” of each process
is determined as Very High, High, Medium, and Low. Business
Continuity Plans are prepared for each Head Office Division to ensure
that, in the event of an disruption, the processes can be restored
before the expected Maximum Tolerable Period of Disruption (MTPD).
The Information Systems Continuity Plan, which is a part of the Bank’s
Business Continuity Management Program, ensures the continuity of
information systems services that maintain the continuity of İşbank’s
activities in the event of an disruption and ensures that critical
business functions are effectively and efficiently resumed in the event
of a major disruption of the Bank’s computer and communication
resources.
The potential impact of natural disasters and extreme weather
conditions on operations is included among the extraordinary
location-based conditions that the branch/regional/general
directorate units may face in the context of the activities carried
out to ensure the continuity of the Bank’s business and services,
and among extraordinary conditions that may cause disruptions
in the continuity of the Bank’s systems. These risks are considered
in the corporate crisis management processes and, in the event of
their occurrence, all the emergency management processes to be
implemented are defined.
In the event of a disruption to branch business continuity, the aim
is to implement the appropriate business continuity improvement
strategy within one business day, except in the case of large-scale
natural disasters. The health and safety of employees is always the
Bank's first priority. In of the event of a disruption to branch services,
a recovery terminal can be defined in an alternative branch not
affected by the extraordinary situation and customer transactions can
be monitored from this alternative branch. As a result of experience
with the new working model, branch business continuity can also be
ensured through remote working if necessary.
In 2023, 12 branches experienced an extraordinary situation due
to heavy rainfall, 7 branches experienced heavy snowfall, and one
branch experienced an extraordinary situation due to water-related
risks from building infrastructure. As a result of recovery strategies, 15
of the 20 branch emergencies resulted short-term service disruption,
but these disruptions were managed without causing customer
dissatisfaction.
Corporate Crisis Management
Corporate crisis management activities are also planned under
the Business Continuity Program. Within this scope, two Crisis
Management Exercises were planned in 2023 for the Bank's senior
management and sub-teams supporting crisis management
processes. A crisis management exercise on Cyber Incident
Management was also conducted with the participation of senior
management. As part of the BSEB Regulation, Communication
Chain Tests are planned twice a year with the participation of senior
management. Efforts to support corporate crisis management
processes through exercises and drills at various levels are expected
to continue in 2024 as well.
In 2023, work was also commenced on the reassessment of Crisis
Center locations and the renovation of the Levent Crisis Center,
which is planned to be completed in 2024. In order to ensure the
continuity of our branches in the event of disruptions to the overall
communication infrastructure, evaluations of the KA-Band satellite
internet infrastructure have been initiated.
Disaster Management and Coordination
Program
Following the earthquake disaster on February 6, 2023, which deeply
affected the whole of Türkiye, especially our 11 provinces, a “Disaster
Management and Coordination Program” was implemented with
the participation of more than 50 employees to increase the Bank's
resilience and organizational strength in the face of potential disasters
that our country may face, especially the Marmara earthquake.
In the program, which we launched to become the “Most Disaster
Resilient Bank" in the second half of 2023, 7 agile teams were
established to address subjects such as:
Building and Service Area Alternatives
Disaster Logistics
Disaster Field Organization
Disaster Technologies
Business Continuity Management
Awareness and Communication
Disaster Coordination
Within the program,
ੵ A Disaster and Emergency Coordination Department was formed
with the goal of ensuring that the Bank is always disaster- ready.
ੵ To increase organizational strength, disaster management has
been divided into two major areas of focus: employee health
and safety and business continuity management. The Corporate
Crisis Management Team, which will oversee the disaster, was
expanded to allow for faster and more thorough decision-making.
At the same time, coordinators have been appointed to provide
field coordination, ensuring that necessary actions are taken
immediately in the field, and monitoring the disaster area. Within
business continuity management, Business Impact Analysis
processes were carried out in collaboration with the Divisions,
and the Divisions' critical and disaster processes as well as the
personnel who need to be backed up outside of Istanbul were
identified in terms of the sustainability of these processes. In 2024,
the identified personnel will be assigned to MaxiOfis locations, our
broad regional office network in Anatolia, notably Ankara.
ੵ The Bank's service buildings will be inspected for earthquake
resistance to ensure the safety of all buildings. In the event of an
earthquake, 20 mobile branches will quickly ensure the continuity
of critical banking activities in the disaster zone.
ੵ Gathering, living, and storage areas were designed to address the
basic needs of employees following a disaster. Within this scope,
approximately 1,700 employees can be accommodated together
with their families. Again, life support kits sufficient for 1,000
employees and their families have been supplied to address the
primary needs after a disaster.
ੵ In order to enable uninterrupted and sustainable communication
after a disaster, structured communication solutions have been
developed to gather information on the safety status of employees
and to collect their basic needs through IVR, SMS and WhatsApp
channels.
ੵ As part of awareness and communication efforts, the employees
were provided a training program designed to raise disaster
awareness and consciousness via the Learning World Platform.
All the information that employees may need for internal
communication will be consolidated and positioned within the İŞİM
application.

Responsible OperationsLooking Into the FutureAn Overview of İşbankHow We Create ValueReliable Financial ActorGood Corporate CitizenFinancial Reports and Annexesİşbank 2023 Integrated Annual Reportİşbank 2023 Integrated Annual Report Employee Loyalty and Satisfaction
İşbank considers providing a satisfying work environment for
its employees to be a key responsibility and believes that the
fundamental basis of business success is employee loyalty and
satisfaction. The Bank has a deep-rooted corporate culture and
supports its employees in their needs in today's modern world.
Thanks to its deep-rooted approach to work that keeps pace with
the times, employees remain a part of the İşbank family for many
years.
Employee loyalty and satisfaction are İşbank's strengths and
the basis of its success. Employee loyalty and satisfaction are
regularly measured through surveys conducted at the Bank. The
results of these surveys, comprising the areas of training activities,
performance management, career management, recruitment
process, remuneration, and rewarding with the aim of increasing
employee satisfaction, are assessed by managers and allow for
necessary improvements to be made.
In 2023, 86% of the Bank’s employees participated in the
employee loyalty and satisfaction survey conducted with the
support of an independent firm. In this study, the loyalty rate was
measured as 67%.
Employee satisfaction practices include online tours and
workshops, cultural and arts events, special employee discounts
at various organizations, and practices to increase employee
support for volunteering. In 2023, the volunteer running team,
made up of the employees of the Bank, participated in marathons
for the benefit of various foundations and raised funds for these
foundations with the support of employees.
The fact that employees have been working at İşbank for many
years is a key indicator of employee satisfaction and loyalty.
68.81% of employees have worked for İşbank for more than 10
years. At the end of 2023, the employee turnover rate was around
1.63% and the voluntary turnover rate was 17.45%.

Responsible OperationsLooking Into the FutureAn Overview of İşbankHow We Create ValueReliable Financial ActorGood Corporate CitizenFinancial Reports and Annexesİşbank 2023 Integrated Annual Reportİşbank 2023 Integrated Annual Report Employee Rights
İşbank is committed to providing a work environment where
employees’ rights are fully protected. All the Bank employees are free
to join trade unions within the framework of freedom of association
and act of their own free will. 97.22% of the Bank’s employees are
trade union members. İşbank, which has one of the highest trade
union membership in the sector, does not carry out any activities that
may involve the risk of forced labor.
The Remuneration Policy, which is based on the Bank's internal
regulations and the provisions of the law, especially the Collective
Labor Agreement, defines all the economic and social rights of the
employees. The ultimate authority and responsibility for ensuring that
the Bank’s remuneration practices are effectively managed within
the framework of the relevant legislation and this Policy rests with
the Bank’s Board of Directors. The İşbank Remuneration Committee
is in charge of preparing decisions on remuneration to be submitted
to the Board of Directors for approval, ensuring that remuneration
is consistent with the Bank's risk appetite, ethical values, internal
balances, and strategic goals, and the Committee regularly monitors
the effectiveness of the Policy.
It is essential that the remuneration of the Bank's managers and
employees at all levels is consistent with the Bank's ethical values,
internal balances, and strategic goals and is not solely associated
with the Bank's short-term performance.
The salaries of senior executives are determined in accordance
with the Bank's strategies, long-term goals, and risk management
structure and are designed to discourage excessive risk taking. The
remuneration package of the Bank consists of salary, bonus, meals,
foreign language compensation, dividend payment as defined in
the Articles of Incorporation, and other fringe benefits that may
vary according to seniority and/or scope of duties. Employees may
also receive payments such as product-related sales bonuses,
performance bonuses and executive bonuses, depending on their
individual performance.
Managers and manager candidates in the branches and the Head
Office divisions receive bonus payments on an annual basis. Bonus
payments to managers are linked to performance , the Bank's long-
term strategy and the risks taken. The Bank does not have a practice
of paying variable remuneration to salaried employees.
In accordance with the Collective Labor Agreement signed
with BASİSEN (Bank-Finance and Insurance Workers Union),
all employees, regardless of position and seniority, are eligible
for healthcare benefits in line with the principles outlined in the
Healthcare Benefit Implementation Regulation. Additionally,
they have access to amenities such as food services, personnel
transportation services, and a range of other benefits and support
packages such as marriage support packages, maternity allowances,
child allowances, natural disaster support, goods transportation
allowances, death and full permanent disability insurance, bonuses,
120
premiums, title compensation, and immigration allowance. Moreover,
İşbank has initiated part-time employment contracts for university
students, but since they are non-union members, they do not enjoy
the privileges outlined in the Collective Labor Agreement due to the
terms of their individual contracts.
The entitlement to special leave status of the Bank's employees
is governed by the collective labor agreement in force. Under this
agreement, employees are granted paid leave for varying periods of
time including marriage, birth, adoption, the passing or critical surgery
of a first-degree relative, their homes or possessions being affected
by natural disasters, accompanying a dependent child in the hospital,
or attending the treatment of a child with a disability or chronic illness.
On February 6, 2023, in response to the pressing housing problems
faced by our employees in Hatay, Adıyaman, Kahramanmaraş,
Malatya, and Osmaniye provinces, as well as their affiliated districts,
along with İslahiye/Gaziantep and Nurdağı/Gaziantep districts
(located within the 1st Degree Earthquake Zone) where the
devastating effects of the earthquake disaster were felt the most;
䬞 A total 59 prefabricated buildings were erected in Hatay centre,
with an additional 10 in Samandağ, and allocated to our employees.
䬞 To address the housing needs of our employees who were unable
to secure housing through our Bank and resorted to rented
accommodation, the practice of providing additional earthquake
support equivalent to 75% of their rental costs and up to a
maximum of TL 12,000 was put into practice as of September
2023.
The “Odak Sensin” project, tailored for employees, offers
complimentary consultancy services on medical, psychological,
and household needs, with services provided by Avita and
Meditopia. Furthermore, the Bank also supports employees and their
dependents in meeting their health needs with a wide range of health
benefits.
The Bank supports its employees with practices that extend beyond
their fundamental rights and freedoms:
ੵ İşbank contributes to the sportive lives of its employees by
providing access to the gym facilities located in the Head Office and
TUTOM buildings, available to all employees.
ੵ The Bank implements practices that exceed legal mandates. Annual
leave, maternity leave, disability, and unpaid leave arrangements,
as outlined in the Collective Labor Agreement, may be extended to
grant rights in favor of employees beyond legal regulations.
ੵ Additionally, the Bank facilitates the granting of administrative leave
by direct managers upon employee request for personal matters.
With the implementation of remote work practices, the employees
now have more time to deal with their personal matters.
The Future of Business and New
Working Models
İşbank has developed the Next-Generation Working Model in
response to the evolving business world where working models
evolved with the pandemic and remote working methodologies
gained importance over traditional models. This approach aims
to provide employees with greater flexible and agile working
conditions, focusing on employee satisfaction and productivity.
Since its inception in 2022, the working model offers various flexible
arrangements tailored to the nature of the work, including additional
periodic flexibilities such as the option to work from a different city
during the summer.
In 2023, employees continued their activities in a hybrid working
model, thoughtfully crafted to meet the diverse needs of business
lines; the flexibility of space provided during working hours was
embraced not only by the Head Office employees but also by
Branch employees within the framework of the Dynamics of Branch
operations.
With the introduction of remote and hybrid working into business life
and the experience that flexible working models are also applicable,
employees have found the opportunity to work from different cities
within the framework of their needs. Employees have the opportunity
to work permanently in MaxiOfis opened outside Istanbul if their
managers find it appropriate. This made it possible to create an
alternative to the increasingly challenging living conditions in Istanbul.
In 2024, efforts are underway to solidify the working model
permanent. To this end, the Next-Generation Working Model Panel
convened with the participation of 20 employees from various roles
and positions to gather insights, demands, and expectations from
employees regarding remote and flexible working. In parallel with
the insights gained during the panel and the evaluations of our
employees, the aim is to redesign the current model to enhance
efficiency and employee experience, with the intention of making it
permanent in 2024.
Moreover, in 2024, to the aim is to integrate digital workspace
components and technological innovations into the working
environment, bolstering next-generation working methodologies.
This approach is designed to support the collaboration of employees
and technology.
To improve the employee experience and consider the demands
and needs of its employees in relation to lunch, the Company has
introduced a system whereby employees who do not use the
cafeteria are paid in cash for their lunch. In addition, a software
application has been purchased to increase employee satisfaction
and optimise the service budget for the shuttle service provided to
our employees.
To support employee satisfaction and health, the İş Tower Sports
Hall was opened in addition to the TUTOM campus for the use of
the Bank's employees and retirees, as well as the employees of
İşbank Group subsidiaries. Furthermore, group classes are offered
in 5 different areas are at both İş Tower Sports Hall and the TUTOM
Sports Hall.
Maxi Ofis
The first of the MaxiOfis spaces, designed as regional offices under
the "İŞ’im her yerde" vision with the aim of effectively managing our
Bank's human resources and providing access to the competencies
needed regardless of location, was put into operation in 2022.
Designed in line with the evolving employee expectations and
the office usage needs in alignment with the new working model,
MaxiOfis spaces offer the opportunity to work more efficiently and
happily in a spacious, bright, innovative, and social environment.
In addition to social areas such as café areas and reading corners,
allowing employees to unwind during short breaks, MaxiOfis spaces
meet the diverse needs of employees with specialised areas such as
meeting rooms, private meeting spaces, and designated audio and
silent working areas.
The MaxiOfis network aims to elevate the welfare and standard of
living of more employees by meeting the demands of our employees
who wish to be transferred to different cities through assignments to
functions such as remote service, remote sales, data analytics, and
operations, which the Head Office units wish to strategically expand.
In 2023, four new offices, one each in Ankara, Izmir, Kayseri, and
Mersin, were added to the offices that can be used by all employees
whose work is suitable for remote working, especially remote workers
and employees assigned to different cities, and a total of 12 MaxiOfis
spaces in 8 different cities were made available to employees.
The MaxiOfis, which have been visited 44 thousand times by
employees since their opening, are being gradually expanded in line
with the demands and needs of employees and as part of the of
human resources policies.
The “Disaster Management and Coordination Program” was
launched to increase the Bank's resilience to disasters and to prevent
unjust suffering by meeting the needs of employees following a
potential disaster, within the framework of new requirements arising
from the earthquake disaster on February 6, 2023 and lessons
learned from disaster processes. The 7 agile teams structured as part
of the program produced outputs in three main functions: business
continuity, field organization, and employee dimension. The Program,
which focuses on the health needs of employee, includes the design
of gathering, living, and storage areas to ensure that employees'
shelter and other basic needs are met after a potential disaster, and
the preparation of life-support kits containing the materials they
may need. Furthermore, to enable uninterrupted and sustainable
communication after a disaster, a structured communication flow
is being developed to ensure that information on the safety status
of employees can be obtained , and to be able to learn and provide
necessary information to meet their possible needs. Also, under the
program, the earthquake resistance of İşbank service buildings is
being assessed with the support of academic collaborations, and
retrofitting and relocation actions are being taken for buildings that
are considered to be at risk.

In 2023, İşbank continued its activities in a hybrid working model
that was developed in accordance with the needs of its business
lines. The flexibility of space granted during working hours was
reciprocated by both Head Office employees and Branch employees
within the scope of Branch dynamics.
Functions such as remote service, remote sales, data analytics, and
operations, which the Head Office units want to strategically expand,
were added to the scope of competency lines in order to effectively
manage human resources and provide location-independent access
to the next-generation competencies needed. With these functional
assignments, the goal is to improve the welfare and standard of living
of more employees by addressing the demands of employees who
request transfers to different cities.
Agile Workshop
Despite its huge corporate structure, İşbank has quick decision-
making processes. The “Agile Areas” established in critical areas
are an integral part of this working approach. Agile areas where
employees from various functions come together, provide quick and
innovative solutions to critical questions.
With the addition of the 5 Agile Areas in 2023, there are now a total
of 25 Agile Areas, 1,660 employees working with the agile working
model, and 225 Agile Teams.
The following results were obtained with the evaluations made in
2023.

Employee Satisfaction
Within the Agile Academy, a training catalogue and learning journeys
comprised of 23 modules have been designed in a structure that can
be used by external companies.
İşbank is among the institutions with the highest number of female
employees in Türkiye, with 53.18% of its employees and 40.29% of its
managers being women.
As part of the Agile Academy, development journeys have been
implemented that are designed to serve external companies.
The scope of the Agile Transformation program was met in 2023, and
it was agreed to employ the agile working model as the Bank's basic
working model. Within this scope, the Agile Management Division’s
activities were discontinued, and in order to carry out the Division’s
mission in conjunction with the main functions of the Bank, it was
decided to carry out design and agile working model activities within
the Corporate Architecture Division, as well as agile coaching and
development activities within the Human Resources Management
Division.
In 2023, various concerns were prioritized on in agile transformation
efforts. Unlike the Experience, Segment, Initiative and Platform Area
organizations, Bank-specific working models were developed for
corporate functions. Work continues with the relevant teams.
Development journeys for Area Leaders and Agile Roles
(Competency Line Leader, Product Owner, Agile Ambassador,
Team Member) were carried out in collaboration with the Talent
Management Division to spread the Agile Working Culture. Agile
coaches delivered a total of 9,488 person*hours of training in team
competencies, role-based development, and the basics of agile
working.
According to the findings of the Corporate Health Index Base Survey
conducted prior to the Agile Transformation, employee satisfaction in
agile areas was 76.8%, but it improved to 87% by December 2023.
Similarly, it is pleasing to observe that Agile Principles have spread
throughout the Bank (87.6%) and that Team Positivity results have
also increased (89.8%). The Bank's subsidiaries continue to get
training, team coaching, and transformation services.
Since the day it was founded İşbank has had a supportive attitude
toward female employees. In 2020, İşbank reinforced this egalitarian
approach by becoming a signatory to the United Nations Women’s
Empowerment Principles (WEPs) and pledged to support and
facilitate women’s participation in employment in Türkiye. İşbank is
also a member of the global initiative known as 30% Club, which
works to raise the number of women in executive leadership roles on
company boards all across the world.
The Bank’s Gender Equality Policy was formed in 2021 by resolution
of the Board of Directors. With the Board’s approval, the Board of
Directors Diversity Policy went into force in 2022.
In 2022, a program was developed to put the Bank’s gender equality
efforts into a structural framework under the Gender Equality Policy.
The aim of this program is to develop best practices that create
impact by considering all stakeholders in the Bank’s value chain.
To accomplish this, a four-pillar structure was developed with
the dimensions of employees, suppliers, customers, and society.
Working Groups, which comprise various Bank business units,
continue to address this issue through various actions. The Women's
Empowerment Declaration outlines the Bank’s goals and strategies
for promoting gender equality.

Empowerment Declaration.
For İşbank, providing equal opportunities to all employees without
discrimination is a material topic. Discrimination based on gender,
language, religion, ethnicity, or age is not permitted in business
processes. The Bank places high value on promoting gender equality
and engages in training and practices in this regard.The Bank’s Board
İşbank, one of the institutions with the highest
number of female employees in Türkiye, prioritizes
equal opportunities to all employees without
discrimination.
The Bank’s Board of Directors comprises 11 executives, two of them
are women. The percentage of female executives on the Board of
Directors is 18.18%. During recruitment, all candidates are given with
equal employment opportunities, without discriminating against
gender. While 50% of job applications are women and 50% are men,
49% of the Bank's newly hired employees in new graduate positions
are women and 51% are men .

The Remuneration Policy covers the employees and managers
of the Bank at all levels and is under the responsibility of the
Remuneration Committee, which directly reports to the Board of
Directors. Remuneration is managed through transparent and
measurable processes and systems, and there is no gender-
based pay differentiation within the remuneration policy. The Bank
applies remuneration system that is transparent and measurable
remuneration system and that is not based on religion, language, race,
age, class, or gender. While ensuring the health, safety, and welfare of
all employees, regardless of gender, the specific demands and needs
of women are considered.
The "Gender Equality in Remuneration Audit Report”, prepared in
2023 and presented to the Audit Committee, concluded that the
remuneration of female and male employees did not differ according
to gender in the conjugate study as of the date of commencement of
employment, the date of the last title change, and the date of the last
level change.
Career Opportunities
A joint program was developed with Upschool to increase the
number of competent women to work in technology and digital
activities at İşbank. Only female candidates may apply to this
program, which offers technical training for 10 weeks and the
opportunity to work in the Bank’s Information Technologies, Data
Management, or Head Office business lines to women who are
fourth year university students or graduates, under 30 years old and
who passed the evaluation process.
Awareness for equality
İşbank implements gender equality practices covering all employees
and activities in line with the principles of equal opportunity and
diversity. The “Gender Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Institutions:
Why and How” seminar, attended by 41 executives, shared current
information and practice examples from Türkiye and around the world
on gender equality, diversity, and inclusion. The seminar also included
suggestions for policy development, methods and tools for use, and
reporting guidelines for upcoming stages.
Within the framework of the Bank's gender equality-aware
practices, in 2023, 102 executives attended the “Leader Women”
Program, which was launched to encourage female employees
toward more active participation in management and to support
their advancement to senior management positions. As part of the
program, following trainings on gender equality and developing
inclusive and genuine leadership skills, participants gather in
small groups under the mentorship of experienced managers for
experience-sharing sessions throughout the year.
The “Diversity and Inclusion” course, which is delivered in career
training programs for new employees with the titles of Officer and
Assistant Specialist, as well as employees promoted to Executive
and Assistant Manager roles, includes a one-hour course on tacit
prejudices and gender equality. 2,388 employees attended this
training program.
Under the umbrella of Management Development Conferences
designed for the participation of executives and management
candidates throughout the year, 4,334 employees attended 11
seminars, including "Empowering Equality", "Sustainability; (Am)
I Responsible for the Planet," and "Breaking Down the Walls of
Violence Together".
To minimize the use of masculine language in favor of gender
equality, the “Gender-neutral Dictionary” application developed by
Softtech was purchased in 2023 and integrated into the Outlook
application, with the aim of eliminating the use of discriminating
phrases and raising awareness.
The “Sexual Harassment Awareness in Business Life” digital training,
developed to help raise employees' awareness on gender equality,
was implemented. The training covered the definition and types
of harassment, as well as instances of verbal, visual, and physical
harassing behavior. In addition to this training, 3,040 employees
completed the “Correct Approach Towards Disability” and “Sign
Language” trainings in 2023. The contents of these trainings were
prepared by the Banks Association of Türkiye and made available
to employees via Learning World since 2017. Also, our employees
received the “Domestic Violence against Women” digital training,
which covers domestic violence against women, what to do in the
event of violence, and the impact of domestic violence on women,
children, and young people.
Gender equality is a sensitive issue that İşbank addresses and
supports in communication activities. Women/female farmers
contribute significantly to agricultural production and equal visibility
in rural regions is promoted. To demonstrate this significance and
appreciation, the Bank assesses its advertising and marketing
content from this perspective, focusing on the positioning of women,
textual expressions, selected imagery, and scenario flows. Content
for use in the Bank’s marketing and advertising activities is prepared
with gender discrimination in mind, vetted by relevant teams
before publication, and evaluated in terms of all biases and identity
distinctions, including gender. In case some or all of the content is
deemed inappropriate, feedback is delivered to the relevant business
units and contracted third-party companies, and business processes
are developed to address this issue. In machine learning models,
gender information and information such as “date of maternity leave”
are avoided since they may lead to gender prediction. Within this
scope, prior to the publication of communication activities, women’s
roles are delicately managed, and texts are written with gender
equality in mind. There were no complaints of gender discrimination
in marketing and advertising activities.
Family-friendly employer
İşbank values its employees’ family lives. For this purpose, practices
that support employees’ work-life balance are implemented.
İşbank has implemented practices to facilitate female employees
return to work after childbirth. Thanks to these practices, 99.8% of
female employees who went on maternity leave in 2023 returned to
work.
Female employees on maternity leave maintain their positions, and
following the end of their leave, they can resume their duties in the
same position and location. They can request unpaid maternity
leave before starting work or take advantage of part-time work
arrangements. For new mothers, breastfeeding rooms have been
designated to provide a more comfortable working environment
following maternity leave. Employees who take nursing breaks might
also benefit from personnel transportation services. Mother and child
benefit from the Bank’s extensive health benefits. Female employees
working at the Bank’s TUTOM location can send their children
between the ages of 36 and 72 months to the Private Tuzla Bilfen
Kindergarten, which is located there. All employees with children get
a maternity and child allowance. Male employees can take a longer
paternity leave than is stipulated in the regulations.

Responsible OperationsLooking Into the FutureAn Overview of İşbankHow We Create ValueReliable Financial ActorGood Corporate CitizenFinancial Reports and Annexesİşbank 2023 Integrated Annual Reportİşbank 2023 Integrated Annual Report Compliance with Operating Principles
İşbank protects its unique corporate culture and employee rights
through a wide range of audit and communication activities. If
suspicion arises during routine audits undertaken by the Board
of Inspectors, that the Bank employees do not adhere to work
standards, or if the Board receives a claim that the operating
principles are not followed, the matter is thoroughly investigated. If
tangible evidence is found that supports such suspicion or claim,
the Board reviews the reports prepared to allow the necessary
administrative decisions to be made in accordance with the Bank’s
collective labor agreement and the legislation before transferring
them to the relevant Head Office Divisions for action.
For behaviors deemed to be in violation of the Bank's policies, the
required disciplinary action, up to termination of the employment
contract, is taken in accordance with the Human Resources
Regulation and applicable articles and procedures of the Collective
Labor Agreement. When circumstances necessitate legal action, the
infraction is brought to the attention of legal authorities. Accordingly,
29 investigations were conducted and referred to the related Head
Office Divisions in 2023.
Sexual harassment allegations submitted to the Board of Inspectors
are investigated by the Board, and the findings are forwarded to the
relevant disciplinary units of the organization in accordance with the
provisions of legal and internal regulations.
Internal Communication and Employee Participation
İşbank values its employees’ ideas and suggestions. Within this
context, the Bank listens to the employee suggestions, complaints,
and feedback through constant communication channels and
incorporates them into its management and decision-making
processes. İşbank uses various platforms to systematically ensure
employee participation.
ੵ As part of the Employee Communication Platforms and Programs
(ÇİPP), trend surveys are conducted among employees, and new
activities are planned using this method. This platform offered
innovations such as cultural tours, online workshops, competitions,
parenting seminars, and e-sports activities, resulting in greater
participation of employees in social responsibility activities. Hobby
and interest groups created through ÇİPP provide employees with
opportunities to expand their communication networks within the
Bank.
who report a violation, are not subject to any disciplinary action,
direct or indirect retribution, or disadvantage relative to their peers.
ੵ Submissions received via the “Negative News Line” are limited to
the CEO’s viewing and immediate response. Employee privacy and
confidentiality are therefore protected at the highest level. In 2023,
907 employees created 1,058 negative news items, and relevant
business divisions assessed product and process improvements.
ੵ The “About Me” platform was developed to provide accurate
and detailed information to support the Bank's decision-making
processes and to enable employees to communicate issues
they believe the Human Resources Function should know. The
information entered on the platform can only be viewed by
authorized personnel in the Human Resources Management
Division and by the employees themselves, and the confidentiality
of the shared information is essential. Employees can use this
platform send notifications under the topics “About My Family”,
“About My Health”, “I Have a Complaint”, “I Have a Wish”, and “About
My Career”.
ੵ The suggestion system, known as “I Have a Proposal” and in
use since 1996, was renewed and made available to employees
after being renamed “I Have a Suggestion” on July 26, 2012, to
reflect technological advancements and changing needs. The
features of the suggestion system, which is designed to create new
applications and solutions related to the banking system together
by utilizing the knowledge and experience of employees, to develop
and improve the customer experience, to develop the creativity
of employees, and to increase their sense of job satisfaction by
enabling them to participate more, are briefly as follows:
Finding new product or service areas,
Providing better and higher quality service to customers,
Creating additional services and use cases for existing products,
Ensuring that transactions are carried out with less labor, time,
and cost,
Empowering the Bank's corporate identity and image,
Ensuring that the Bank's resources are used more effectively and
efficiently,
Making the working environment and conditions more favorable,
ੵ HR Help Desk (Maximo) is an application that receives and forwards
Creating new marketing and sales opportunities,
employee opinions, evaluations, requests, and complaints to the
relevant units.
Being technologically innovative,
ੵ There are internal confidentiality systems for employees to report
Social responsibility
their complaints about the workplace. Employees can report
actual or suspected violations of İşbank's Ethical Principles and
Operational Rules, the Bank's policies and internal regulations, as
well as national and international legislation via the Ethics Hotline.
The reports are kept confidential; and unless expressly requested,
the name of the reporting person is kept confidential. Employees,
All employees can make suggestions on these topics, as long as they
bring innovation and benefit to our Bank's practices and cover just
one topic.
Head Office employees cannot benefit from the suggestion system’s
rewards, even if they submit suggestions on topics over which they
have direct control and implement in their divisions' fields of activity.
The process of evaluating suggestions is as follows:
Employee suggestions are preliminarily evaluated by the
Corporate Architecture Division. Then, if necessary, they are sent
to the relevant Divisions according to the subject matter.
Suggestion owners receive responses via the system within a
maximum of 15 days from the date of entry.
Suggestion owners can monitor the outcome of their
suggestions through the system.
At the end of these processes, Suggestion owners get gift vouchers
from İş Kültür Publications after their suggestions are deemed
favorable and approved for implementation.
The “I Have a Suggestion” application aims to create new

Performance and Learning Culture
İşbank executives are trained internally. In other words, employees
are potential managers as well. Depending on their performance, all
employees have the opportunity to be promoted to management
positions. Accordingly, the Performance Management System plays
an important role in İşbank's human resources practices.
İşbank renewed its Performance Management System in 2023,
including all elements. In this context, the Self-Assessment and 360
Degree Assessment practices were implemented for the first time
in the performance evaluations in 2023. Their purpose was to allow
employees to share their self-assessments with their managers and
to receive evaluations from their teammates and subordinates (if
any), and to build the Manager Evaluations based on the outcomes
of these assessments. Then, these were finalized through the Review
process. The new system aims to transfer the observations of a larger
group of evaluators engaged in the evaluation process with concrete
findings. This way our employees have the opportunity to learn about
various viewpoints on themselves and to provide our employees with
more input to their career processes through objective performance
data.
Assessment Center Practices

Manager/Specialist/Inspector participated in the "Transition to
Management Assessment" in 2023. In order to base their transition

this assessment evaluates their management approach, the
impression they make professionally and socially, their personal
characteristics, their level of competence, and their vision for fulfilling
their responsibilities, as well as their suitability for management in line
with the Bank's management culture and brand.
In addition to the “Transition to Management Assessment Center”
practices, a different assessment process called the "Manager
Assessment Center" was designed for employees currently serving
as managers at the 8th level. This center aims to measure the
potential and readiness of the relevant managers for their next
position. From April 2023 until the end of 2023, 420 employees
participated in this assessment.

Information on Risk Management
Policies Applied per Risk Types
In addition to banking activities, the financial and non-financial risks to
which the Group is exposed must be analyzed as a whole, monitored,
and reported in accordance with banking-specific risk management
principles and the Group's risk management perspective. This is
more than just a legal reporting requirement that must be met; it has
become the industry standard for corporate governance.
The Bank's risk management process, which is organized around
risk management regulations and helps to establish a common risk
culture throughout the organization, is designed to prioritize "good
corporate governance", ensure the separation of risk monitoring and
controlling units from executive functions, identify risks in accordance
with international regulations, and facilitate measurement, analysis,
monitoring, reporting, and control functions.
The Board of Directors’ main responsibilities include the risk
management process and the functions that comprise it. The Risk
Management Division, which acts through the Risk Committee and
is a functional component of the risk management function, not
only carries out regulatory and internal capital adequacy activities
to ensure compliance with the Basel framework and international
best practices, but also develops and validates risk measurement
methodologies and optimizes the capital adequacy management
process.
Capital Adequacy Policy
The Capital Adequacy Policy sets out the principles and procedures
that need to be followed when defining the level of capital, both
consolidated and unconsolidated, that the Bank must hold against
potential losses that could arise from financial risks associated with
both on- and off-balance sheet items, in addition to non-financial
risks resulting from the Bank’s operations. It also specifies how that
level of capital is maintained and monitored, taking into consideration
the minimum capital levels determined in accordance with the
regulations and the internal capital adequacy assessment process.
Credit Risk Policy
Credit risk is defined as the likelihood that the Bank would incur
losses due to a counterparty’s failure to complete its obligations
under an agreement with the Bank in a timely manner, whether
partially or entirely. The Credit Risk Policy sets the methodology and
responsibility for managing, controlling, and monitoring credit risk as
well as other factors related to credit risk limits.
İşbank identifies, measures, and manages credit risks throughout
its products and activities, taking into account the transactions
defined as credit in Article 48 of the Banking Law. The Board of
Directors reviews the Bank's credit risk policies and strategies at
least once a year. The General Manager, Deputy General Managers,
and the Division Managers involved in loan processes are in charge
of carrying out the credit risk policies as approved by the Board of
Directors.
İşbank's credit risk profile is regularly monitored. Current risk
indicator trends and changes are reported to senior management
at regular intervals. Concentration of credit risks must be avoided.
Its concentration in the credit portfolio monitored by ensuring a
balanced combination of revenue, risk, and capital cost. For this
purpose, the Board of Directors adheres to credit risk limits, which
can be defined for each debtor, sector, loan type, collateral, country,
maturity, and currency.
In addition to the credit risk limits required by legal law, İşbank
manages credit risk by implementing internal risk limits set by the
Board of Directors. These limits restrict the maximum credit risk
that the Bank can undertake depending on parameters such as risk
groups and sectors. The method used to estimate these internal limits
does not lead to credit risks concentration.
The Bank also uses credit decision support system tools to manage
credit risk. The Bank ensures that the credit decision support systems
and artificial intelligence applications can monitor credit risks on a
portfolio basis, calculate unexpected losses, and accurately evaluate
credit risk in pricing, performance management, sales, and marketing
processes. The risks that the Bank may face in connection with any
models in use are assessed and managed according to the principles
and procedures outlined in the Model Risk Management Policy.
Asset and Liability Management Risk Policy
Asset-liability management risk is defined as the risk that the Bank
would incur losses as a result of failing to effectively manage all
financial risks associated with its assets, liabilities, and off-balance
sheet transactions. Asset and liability management risk covers the
market risk in the trading portfolio, structural interest rate risk of the
banking portfolio, and liquidity risk.
The Board of Directors establishes all principles and procedures
for creating and managing the Bank's asset-liability structure, as
well as the "Risk Appetite Framework" for the capital allocation. The
top priority is to keep the asset-liability management risk within the
limits set out in the legislation and the internal risk limits. Within the
Bank's risk appetite framework, the Board of Directors determines
risk tolerance levels for each risk type on both a bank-only and
consolidated basis, with the goal of limiting the amount of risk
absorbed by the Bank . This process considers liquidity, target income
level, and general risk factor expectations.
The Board of Directors and Audit Committee have to monitor and
ensure best use of the Bank's capital. Therefore, they are in charge of
checking the risks against the limits and taking appropriate actions.
The Asset-Liability Management Committee manages asset-
liability risk in accordance with the Board of Directors' risk appetite
framework and risk limits, as well as the principles and procedures set
out in the policy.

Good Corporate CitizenLooking Into the FutureAn Overview of İşbankHow We Create ValueReliable Financial ActorResponsible OperationsFinancial Reports and Annexesİşbank 2023 Integrated Annual Reportİşbank 2023 Integrated Annual Report The Risk Management Division is in charge of measuring asset-
liability management risk, reporting the results, and monitoring
compliance with risk limits. The severity of the risk is assessed based
on various scenarios. Measurement results are tested to ensure their
reliability and integrity. Asset-liability management risk is reported
to both the Risk Committee and the Board of Directors via the Audit
Committee.
The Risk Management Division, Asset-Liability Management
Committee, and related executive units closely and continuously
monitor compliance with risk limits . If the limits are exceeded, the
Risk Management Division immediately reports the breach and its
causes to the Board of Directors via the Audit Committee. The Board
of Directors determines the course of action necessary to eliminate
the breach.
The internal audit system audits asset-liability management
processes and policy rule compliance. The Board of Directors
establishes the principles that govern the audit process, audit reports,
and implementation of action plans to eliminate the errors and gaps
discovered during audits.
Stress Testing Policy
The Stress Testing Policy is intended to identify major risks and
vulnerabilities that may occur as a result of both Bank-specific
negative developments and unanticipated stress conditions
associated with the general economic and financial environment.
The stress test program is described as a collection of stress test
analyses performed to assess risks associated with the Bank’s
activities, as well as the methodologies, assumptions, and scenarios
used in these analyses. To ensure that valid and accurate results are
obtained, the stress test program is regularly monitored and updated
based on the Bank’s risk appetite framework, the current economic
environment, and market conditions, as well as the Bank’s products,
strategies, and technological capabilities.
In accordance with the regulations and its internal procedures, the
Bank implements a stress test program to assess the risks from both
a holistic view (i.e. bank-wide stress tests) and on the basis of the
major risk types (i.e. individual stress tests). The results are reported to
senior management, the Board of Directors, and other relevant legal
authorities.
The Board of Directors is in charge of executing the stress test
program in its entirety. The Board of Directors ensures that the
stress test program’s outcomes are evaluated and used as inputs in
making decisions in pertinent fields. The Risk Management Division
is in charge of conducting the analyses included in the stress test
program, reporting the outcomes of the stress tests, and ensuring
compliance with the risk limits. The Risk Committee determines the
scope of the stress test program, the risk factors to be included in the
analyses, and the framework for stress parameters.
The internal audit system audits processes related to the stress
test program as well as compliance with policy rules. The Board of
Directors establishes the principles that govern the audit process,
audit reports, and implementation of action plans to eliminate the
errors and gaps discovered during audits.
Employees of the Bank act responsibly and understand that the
principles and procedures laid out in the Bank's legislation, especially
the operational risk policy, are intended to create a work environment
that is sensitive to the presence of operational risks and reduces the
likelihood of loss by incorporating control mechanisms for such risks.
Operational Risk Policy
Reputational Risk Policy
Operational risk is defined as "the risk of loss, including legal risks,
due to inadequate or faulty internal processes, people and systems or
external factors". The Risk Management Division handles all central
risk management activities related to the subject. These activities
include detecting, identifying, measuring, analyzing, monitoring,
reporting, and controlling operational risks; following national
and international developments in operational risk management;
improving existing techniques and methods; and performing the
necessary regulatory reporting, notification, and follow-up. The
Operational Risk Policy establishes the principles, procedures, and
responsibilities of operational risk management.
Operational risks that may arise during activities are classified and
monitored under the "Risk Catalog”. The Risk Catalog serves as the
main document for identifying and classifying all potential risks. It is
updated to reflect better risk management practices and changing
regulations.
Operational risk is managed using a triple defense line approach
within the framework of the Board’s approved risk management
policies. Risk appetite and its internal limits for operational risks, as set
by the Board, are regularly monitored.
When identifying operational risks, both internal and external factors
that might negatively impact the Bank's operations are considered.
Both qualitative and quantitative methods are used to measure and
assess operational risks. During measurement and assessment,
risks are prioritized based on their financial, legal, reputational, and
operational implications for the Bank. Besides the calculations
required by the law, internal measurement methods, impact-
probability analysis, loss event data analysis, scenario analysis,
stress tests, and risk indicators are also used to measure operational
risks. The results are reported to the Board via the Operational Risk
Committee and Risk Committee.
The Risk Management Division regularly monitors and reports to the
Risk Committee, Operational Risk Committee, and the Board on all
operational risks that the Bank may face in connection with banking
and information systems processes; risk levels of new products,
services, and activities, as well as the support and valuation services
that the Bank receives; loss events occurring at the Bank that
represent operational risks, and risk indicators.
Reputational risk is defined as potential losses that may be caused by
loss of trust in the Bank or damage to the Bank’s reputation as a result
of non-compliance with existing legal regulations or negative views of
parties such as current or potential customers, partners, competitors,
and supervisory authorities. The Reputational Risk Policy sets out
the principles and procedures to be followed when identifying,
assessing, controlling, monitoring, reporting, and managing sources of
reputational risk that the Bank may face during its operations.
Sources of reputational risk are evaluated individually and collectively,
and appropriate systems and controls are implemented to effectively
manage risk factors. The Risk Management Division is in charge of
conducting a multi-dimensional assessment of reputational risks and
reporting the results to the Risk Committee, the Audit Committee,
and the Board of Directors. All employees carry out their duties in a
responsible manner, protecting the Bank’s reputation.
Consolidated Risk Policies
The Consolidated Risk Policies oversee compliance with risk
management principles for the Bank's subsidiaries. Subsidiaries
follow their own risk management policies which consider the
Consolidated Risk Policies and their own organizational structure. The
subsidiaries' risk policies, which have been approved by their boards
of directors, serve as the basis for their risk management systems
and processes. The Risk Management Division regularly and closely
monitors the risk levels of the subsidiaries and provides periodical
reports to the Risk Committee and the Board.
Information Systems Risk Policy
The Information Systems Risk Policy aims to set out the principles
to be adhered to for identifying, measuring, monitoring, controlling,
reporting, and managing the risks associated with the information
system management. With this policy, the Bank aims to effectively
manage its information systems, which are vital in sustaining
the Bank's activities, by incorporating the information system
management into its corporate risk management practices. The
provisions of this policy apply to the management of the Bank's
information systems and all elements associated with these systems.
The risks associated with information technologies are basically
evaluated as part of the Bank's operational risk management. Since
these risks can amplify the other risks arising from banking activities,
it is essential that the Bank measures, closely monitors, and controls
them within a holistic risk management approach.
Model Risk Management Policy
The purpose of the Model Risk Management Policy is to set the
principles and procedures for model risk management principles
by addressing the whole lifespan of the models used by the Bank
in its operations. With the policy, the Bank aims to manage, through
a holistic approach, the model risk to which the models used by
the Bank in its activities are exposed owing to errors, failures, or
shortcomings in the lifecycle of the models.
The Bank manages model risk using a triple defense line
structure, with the model owner, model development team, model
implementation team, and model user providing the first line of
defense, the model risk management team, validation team, and
internal control providing the second line of defense, and the internal
audit providing the third line of defense. Model risk management
covers the entire lifecycle of a model. The policy describes the
primary tasks in each step of the model lifecycle, as well as the
responsibilities of the Bank’s various divisions in relation to these
tasks.
Climate Change Risk Policy
Climate change risk comprises both the risks of transitioning to a low-
carbon economy and physical risks that may arise as a result of the
impact of climate change on nature. The Climate Change Risk Policy
sets out the principles and procedures for detecting, identifying,
assessing, and/or measuring, monitoring, controlling, reporting, and
managing climate change risks that the Bank may face as a result of
its activities.
Aside from being a type of risk which the Bank may directly face,
other risks that may arise during the performance of the Bank's
activities may cause climate change risks. Therefore, the Climate
Change Risk Policy is an integral part of the Bank's other Risk Policies.
The main purpose of climate change risk management is to ensure
that the Bank's activities and practices are in line with its climate
change strategy. Responsibility for managing climate change risks
has been defined as a triple defense line. In basic terms, the role of
the first line of defense is to identify, assess, and control the climate
change risks that may affect the branches of activity for which they
are responsible, as well as ensure that loan decisions are made while
considering these risks during the lending process. The second
line of defense determines the operating principles, rules, policies,
and requirements in response to climate change risk. The third line
of defense, within its current roles and responsibilities, reassures
the Board of Directors that the structure described here functions
properly.

Risk Management Systems, and Information on its
Activities in the Reporting Period
Internal Audit
The Board of Inspectors reports to the Board of Directors of İşbank
and audits the Bank’s Head Office divisions, banking processes,
information systems, domestic and foreign branches, and the
activities of consolidated subsidiaries, as well as support service
organizations. The audits aim assure that the Bank’s activities
comply with legal regulations and the Bank’s strategies, policies,
principles, and goals. The work done prioritizes the assessment of the
effectiveness of the processes for identifying risks and developing the
necessary controls within the activities of the first and second lines of
defense. Audits are conducted on-site or remotely in accordance with
national and international quality standards, based on business needs
through an agile working methodology, using a modern and risk-
focused approach that uses the strength of the Board of Inspectors’
deep-rooted audit culture and advanced information technologies.
The Board of Inspectors also conducts preliminary inspections,
examinations, and investigations into suspected internal crimes.
Furthermore, the Board of Inspectors audits customer complaint
management, and customer complaints received directly by the
Board of Inspectors through various channels, including the Ethics
Line, are inspected on an individual basis.
The audit reports prepared as a result of the inspection activities are
reported to senior management and relevant divisions via the Audit
Committee, and the Board of Inspectors monitors the measures taken
to address the findings. The Board of Directors closely monitors the
activities of the Board of Inspectors through monthly activity reports
submitted via the Audit Committee.
The Board of Inspectors conducts annual risk-based audits of
İşbank’s banking processes and information systems to provide
the basis for the Management's Declaration to be submitted to an
independent auditor in accordance with the "Regulation over External
Audit Institutions’ Information Systems and Banking Processes
Audits" published by the Turkish Banking Regulation and Supervision
Agency (BRSA). In this context, the Board of Inspectors reviews
both the consolidated and unconsolidated financial statements
prepared during the audit of the financial reporting processes within
routine banking processes. In addition, during the regular audits of
subsidiaries, the financial reports presented by the related companies
to the Bank are reviewed in accordance legal regulations and basic
accounting principles such as accuracy and completeness.
The Board of Inspectors also audits customer complaint
management, and customer complaints received directly by the
Board of Inspectors through various channels, including the Ethics
Line, are inspected on an individual basis.

risk, which constitute 44% of the Bank’s total loans, were also audited.
Compliance
At all levels of the Bank, compliance is the primary duty and
responsibility of all managers and employees. The Corporate
Compliance Division, which reports to the Board of Directors,
monitors the corporate compliance functions and activities carried
out in the Bank's Head Office divisions, domestic and overseas
branches, and its subsidiaries through corporate compliance
activities. The Corporate Compliance Division’s goal is to ensure
maximum contribution to the Bank's efforts to effectively manage
and control compliance risk according to a materiality- and risk-
based approach and to ensure that the Bank's activities are
conducted and managed in accordance with applicable laws,
regulations, and standards at all times. The Bank also oversees the
effective implementation of the corporate compliance activities by its
subsidiaries.

Financial Crimes and Sanctions Policy are available in the “Investor
Relations/Corporate Governance” section of our website.
Internal Control
The main objective of the internal control system is to provide the
greatest contribution to achieving the Bank’s corporate targets, which
are set in accordance with the Bank’s vision, mission, and strategies,
as well as stakeholder expectations. To this end, under the direction
of the Board of Directors and with the contribution and support of all
İşbank employees the performance necessary to ensure that every
internal control system component functions in an integrated and
effective manner is being meticulously carried out with professional
care and attention.
The structure and operation of İşbank’s internal control system and
internal control activities ensure that the Bank’s assets are protected,
that its activities comply with the Law and other relevant legislations,
the its internal policies, guidelines, and banking practices, accounting
and financial reporting systems operate securely and with integrity,
and information is delivered on time. With the use of advanced
data analytics tools, the effectiveness of controls is centrally and
continuously monitored.
The Internal Control Division, which is an independent function,
regularly examines the design and operational effectiveness of the
internal control activities carried out by the relevant units. Accordingly,
the Internal Control Division carries out “on-site” and/or “remote”
controls using a risk-oriented approach on the activities of the Bank’s
domestic and foreign branches and Head Office units, financial
reporting and information systems, and internal control structures of
the subsidiaries, that are going to be consolidated.
The Internal Control Division analyses the results of the reviews,
eliminates existing shortcomings, develops suggestions to prevent
the recurrence of errors, and monitors and tracks activities and
reports them to the Audit Committee on a monthly basis.
The internal control activities implemented in 2023 to ensure the
effective, reliable, and continuous execution of the Bank’s activities
and services, as well as the integrity, consistency, reliability, timeliness,
and security of the information provided by the accounting and
financial reporting system were found to be substantially disrupt-free.
In accordance with the Bank’s Sustainability Policy, controls regarding
the operations carried out within the scope of the Sustainability
Management System are also performed. In addition, the Bank
adheres to the international ISO 14001 Environmental Management
System standards in terms of the assessment and management of
environmental impacts, and the Internal Control Division carries out
the “internal audit” activities defined within the standard.
İşbank provides various trainings to its internal control personnel in
order to contribute to their professional development. The Internal
Control Division also supports these trainings to increase awareness
on internal control activities across the organization. The “Internal
Control - Basic Concepts” digital training, explaining the concept
of internal control, the scope of control processes, and the possible
consequences of lack of control, was prepared in 2023, uploaded to
the Bank's digital learning platform, and made available to employees.
Efficient Risk Management
The Bank's risk management process is organized around risk
management regulations and helps establish a common risk culture
across the organization. It prioritizes "good corporate governance",
ensures segregation of units responsible for monitoring and
controlling risk from executive functions, identifies risks in accordance
with international regulations, and facilitates measurement, analysis,
monitoring, reporting, and control functions.
The risks which the Bank may face are managed with a triple defense
line. The first line of defense is comprised of the executive units and
is in charge of identifying and assessing risks, ensuring continuous
implementation of risk management, designing and implementing
process controls, and reporting results in line with the Bank's risk
appetite, rules, procedures, and risk strategies. The second line of
defense is comprised of the Risk Management Division, Corporate
Compliance Division, and Internal Control Division, which report to
the Board of Directors. The Risk Management Division is in charge
of creating and updating risk policies and the risk catalogue, setting
and updating control targets for risks, measuring, monitoring, and
reporting the risks, and developing a risk management framework.
The Internal Control Division tests the effectiveness of controls, while
the Corporate Compliance Division sets the policy for compliance
risks and establishes the principles regarding the control targets for
compliance risks.
In the third line of defense, the Board of Inspectors is in charge of
conducting an independent audit of the risk management framework
and control systems to ensure their effectiveness and adequacy.
The Risk Committee was established to share risk management
principles within the Bank so that they are reflected in decision-
making and implementation processes. The Committee is in charge
of articulating the Bank’s risk management strategies and policies
, both on a consolidated and unconsolidated basis, submitting
them to the Board of Directors for approval, and monitoring their
implementation. The Operational Risk Committee, on the other
hand, improves the operational risk management framework and
strengthens the governance model regarding operational risks.
The Bank's risk management practices aim to create a common
risk culture across the organization. Risk management activities are
based on the regulations and good practices guidelines published by
the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency. Besides compliance
with regulatory limits, the Bank also ensures capital and liquidity
adequacy against all risks assumed by the Bank as part of the
Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process.
The Risk Management Division is the Bank’s main executing body
of central risk management activities, carries out activities related to
regulatory and internal capital adequacy to ensure compliance with
the Basel framework and international best practices, develops and
validates risk measurement methodologies, and optimizes the capital
adequacy management process. The Bank’s level of risk exposure is
systematically monitored in accordance with the written risk policies
and implementation procedures. The Bank runs the risk management
process as per internal regulations approved by the Board of
Directors, including Capital Adequacy, Credit Risk, Asset-Liability
Management Risk, Operational Risk, Model Risk Management,
Climate Change Risk, Stress Testing, Reputational Risk, Consolidated
Risk, and Information Systems Management Policies.
Potential risks that may be encountered during activities are defined
and classified in the Bank’s "Risk Catalog", where risks are divided
into two main groups: financial and non-financial risks. Financial and
non-financial risks are reported monthly to the Risk Committee and
the Board of Directors via the Audit Committee.

161
Good Corporate CitizenLooking Into the FutureAn Overview of İşbankHow We Create ValueReliable Financial ActorResponsible OperationsFinancial Reports and Annexesİşbank 2023 Integrated Annual Reportİşbank 2023 Integrated Annual Report The Bank uses impact-probability analysis, loss event data
analysis, scenario analysis, stress testing, and risk indicators in the
measurements related to operational risks in addition to the risk
prioritization. The risks defined in the Risk Catalog, as well as the
management principles detailed in the risk policies, are reviewed at
least once a year, and the corresponding definitions and principles
are kept current.
To manage the Bank's risk profile and conduct a prospective
assessment, the scenario analysis method is used to assess the
impact of potential large-scale operational risk-type loss events on
the Bank's risk profile. The scenario analysis allows for assessment
of catastrophic events, also known as tail risks, which occur seldom
but have a significant impact when they do. Scenario analysis results
provide inputs to the operational risk management stress testing and
top-down risk assessment studies, as well as operational risk internal
capital requirement.
Various training programs are organized to extend the effective risk
management approach throughout the entire Bank, increase risk
management skills of employees, and raise their awareness on the
subject. Employees who take on the role of Branch Manager for
the first time receive holistic information on risk management, risk
types, and the Bank's Risk Catalog as part of the Branch Managers
Development Program. And, in the “Environmental and Social Risk
Management in Loans” training, information on the importance of
environmental and social risk management for the financial sector,
local legislation and international standards, and basic information on
environmental and social risk assessment processes are shared. As
of 2021, the Bank provides the digital training called “Risk Culture in
Our Bank”. In addition, the “Credit and Risk Management Academy”
was established to increase the knowledge level of employees who
plan to work in the risk management area of lending processes in
2023 and to contribute to their onboarding processes. Employees
were granted online access to the first training module which focuses
on basic concepts such as risk and loan relationship, financial risks,
and internal systems regulation. Furthermore, risk culture surveys are
conducted to investigate employees' awareness of risk culture.
Management of Non-Financial Risks
Aside from financial risks, non-financial risks such as climate change
risks, environmental management risks, internal behaviour/culture
and ethics risks, and employee practice and employee relations risks
are defined in the Bank's Risk Catalog and addressed through risk
management activities.
İşbank prioritizes using best practices to manage climate change
risks. The Bank carries out project activities aimed at measuring
and reporting on the climate change risks which it may be face,
developing governance principles and procedures, and integrating
such risks into the Bank's strategy and lending processes. Climate
change risk, classified as a strategic risk in the Bank's risk catalog,
is defined and exemplified using TCFD and international best
practices, which include transition risks and physical risks. The Board
of Directors approved and implemented the Climate Change Risk
Policy , which sets out the principles and procedures to be followed
for detecting, identifying, assessing and/or measuring, monitoring,
controlling, reporting, and managing the climate change risks that
the Bank may face in connection with its activities. The "Share of
Sectors With High Climate Change Risk Within the Total Commercial
Portfolio" indicator is monitored within the framework of the Bank's
solo risk appetite in order to prevent an increase in the concentration
of sectors with a high exposure to climate change risk within the
portfolio and to provide guidance for portfolio composition in future
periods.
The Bank uses a scenario approach to measure climate change risks.
For high-risk sectors identified using the climate change heat map
method, an impact analysis for climate risk events is carried out using
the United Nations Environment Program - Finance Initiative (UNEP-
FI) scenario analysis approach and NGFS reference scenarios.
Reputational risk refers to potential losses that may result from a loss
of trust in the Bank or damage to the Bank’s reputation as a result
of non-compliance with existing legal regulations or negative views
held by parties such as current or potential customers, partners,
competitors, and supervisory authorities. The Bank monitors
reputational risk using the Reputation Index. The Bank designed this
index to serve as an early warning system for aspects that might have
an impact on the Bank's reputation. Senior management receives
assessment reports on the level of reputational risk at least once
a quarter. Senior management is responsible for monitoring and
improving compliance with the corporate governance concept, which
underpins reputational risk.

Business Ethics
Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption
İşbank’s business practices are based on high business ethics
standards. With this understanding, the “Ethical Principles and
Operational Rules” prepared in line with the Principles of Banking
Ethics of the Banks Association, “Human Rights and Human
Resources Policy” and İşbank's Collective Labor Agreement serve as
the basic guidelines in this area.
In accordance with the Ethical Principles and Operational Rules, there
is an Ethics Hotline where employees, customers, and other related
parties can report any violation of operational rules to the Bank’s the
related units. The Internal Audit Division monitors all notifications
submitted through the Ethics Hotline. Confidentiality of notifications is
essential, and employees are not subjected to any disciplinary action,
direct or indirect retaliation, or put at any disadvantage compared
to their peers when reporting a violation. In 2023, the Ethics Hotline
received a total of 6 complaints.
For behaviours deemed to be in violation of the Bank's policies, the
appropriate disciplinary action, up to termination of the employment
contract, is taken according to the applicable provisions and
procedures of the Human Resources Regulation and the Collective
Labor Agreement.
Customer complaints can be submitted via e-mail, petition, or fax to
digital channels, Branches, or directly to the Head Office or the Board
of Inspectors. Customer complaints submitted to Branches and the
Head Office units are transferred to the Customer Relations Platform
and followed up on the relevant platform. Of these complaints those
requiring assessment by the Board of Inspectors are transferred to
the Board by the relevant Head Office divisions. Customer complaints
submitted to the Board of Inspectors are reported to the Audit
Committee on a weekly/monthly basis. In 2023, 53 complaints were
reported to the Audit Committee.
The Bank organizes trainings to raise employee awareness on
business ethics. During the “Getting to Know Our Bank” course,
which is part of the “Starting My Career” trainings for new employees,
the requirement to follow discipline regulations and "Ethical Banking
Principles" is highlighted. During the training, Intern Assistant
Inspectors receive “Ethical Principles” and “Anti-Bribery and Anti-
Corruption” training. the Board of Inspectors’ “Internal Audit” courses
cover banking ethical concepts as part of the Branch Managers
Development Program, As I Rise in My Career and My Management
Career trainings for managers and manager candidates. In 2023,
9,576 hours of ethics training was given to 1,974 employees.
Employees receive digital training on “Ethical Principles and
Operational Rules”. The training includes detailed information on the
Bank’s ethical principles and operational rules, our quality, compliance,
and risk policies, the principles on Combating Financial Crimes and
implementing Sanctions, Compliance with Competition Law and
ensuring Information Security, as well as information on the “Ethics
Hotline” where employees can report any violations or suspected
violations of ethical principles.
The “Getting to Know Our Bank” course, part of the “Starting My
Career” trainings for new employees at İşbank, especially on human
rights, focuses on the principles set out in the Bank’s Human Rights
and Human Resources Policy. Human rights are also covered in the
“Law on Private Security Services and Individual Rights” course for
private security officers as part of their refresher training. In 2023,
585 employees attended Private Security Refresher trainings. In
addition, in 2023, the Support Services Division emailed the Bank’s
“Human Rights and Human Resources Policy” text to all private
security officers for their information.
During the reporting period, a total of 2,524 employees received a
total of 6,034 person*hours of training in human rights.
The Management Development Conferences included seminars on
basic human rights, such as “Empowering Equality”, “Sustainability;
(Am) I Responsible for the Planet” and “Breaking Down the Walls of
Violence Together”, as well as a seminar for managers on “Gender
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Institutions: Why and How”.
One of the Bank's top priorities is to ensure full compliance with
competition law rules in all our relations with our customers,
suppliers, competitors, business partners, and regulatory bodies. The
Compliance Commitment Letter distributed to employees for this
reason, as well as the “Competition Compliance Program” introduced
at the end of 2021, demonstrate the priority placed on this topic. As
part of the program, all Head Office division managers attended an
online seminar held in 2023. In addition to the seminar, 93.01% of the
target audience completed the “Competition Law Compliance Guide”
digital training, one of the legal compliance trainings required of all
employees.
In 2023, no lawsuits were brought against anti-competitive
behaviour, antitrust, and monopolistic activities. The lawsuit alleging
anti-competitive activities filed in previous years and resolved in
2023 was decided in favor of the Bank.
Anti-bribery and anti-corruption are among the material topics that
İşbank manages without compromise. The Bank's “Ethical Principles
and Operational Rules” and “Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption
Policy” serve as reference for anti-corruption, and the relevant rules
are publicly disclosed on the Bank's website. The relevant Head
Office Division implements the Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption
Policy, which is overseen by the Corporate Governance Committee.
Compliance with the provisions of this policy is audited under the
scope of internal audit. The Corporate Governance Committee
determines principles for carrying out action plans to address audit
findings.
Bribery and corruption risk is defined as the risk that the Bank will
suffer losses as a result of a Bank employee abusing the power
vested in them as part of their role at the Bank in order to, directly or
indirectly, secure benefits for themselves or third parties, and failing
to comply with anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws and internal
regulations. bribery and corruption risk is measured and prioritized
using a top-down risk assessment, impact-probability analysis, loss
event data analysis, and scenario analysis activities.
The Board of Inspectors conducts routine audits according to Internal
Audit Standards, where all risks, including anti-bribery and anti-
corruption, are addressed on a regular basis, and the audit results
are reported to authorized divisions of the Bank in accordance with
the provisions of applicable legislation, and the outcomes of the
reported findings are monitored. Aside from existing risks, factors
that present potential risks are also identified, appropriate solutions
are provided, and the entire process is monitored. If any violations of
anti-corruption policies are discovered during the audits, appropriate
action is taken in accordance with internal discipline regulations and
legal regulations.
All findings, reports, and customer complaints involving corruption
practices are meticulously handled and thoroughly investigated. At
the conclusion of audits, the reports prepared to allow appropriate
administrative decisions to be taken in accordance with the Bank's
Collective Labor Agreement and the legislation are forwarded to
the relevant Head Office Divisions for action. In 2023, the scale of
activities reviewed for corruption risks was found to be insignificant
compared to the Bank’s total assets.
For behaviors deemed to be in violation of the Bank's policies, the
appropriate disciplinary action, up to termination of the employment
contract, is taken according to the applicable provisions and
procedures of the Human Resources Regulation and the Collective
Labor Agreement. When circumstances necessitate legal action, the
violation is brought to the attention of legal authorities.
Information on the details of the Bank's Anti-Bribery and Anti-
Corruption Policy was provided as part of the content titled “Anti-
Bribery and Anti-Corruption” in the e-trainings “Compliance with
Combating Financial Crimes and Sanctions Policy Program” and
“Compliance with Combating Financial Crimes and Sanctions Policy
Program - General Principles” assigned to all employees as legal
compliance training. The Corporate Compliance Division determines
and regularly updates their content. Regular communication is carried
out to ensure that employees complete these trainings.
The "Getting to Know Our Bank" course, part of "Starting My Career"
trainings for new employees at İşbank, emphasizes adherence to
disciplinary regulations and the "Ethical Banking Principles".
Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery topics are covered in the
“Compliance with Combating Financial Crimes and Sanctions Policy
Program” course within the Starting My Career Training for our
employees with the titles of Officer and Assistant Specialist, as well
as the As I Rise in My Career Training for our employees who are
promoted to Senior roles. The "Banking Law" course included in the
Career as a Specialist training for Senior Assistant Specialists and
the career training programs for employees promoted to Assistant
Manager roles, provides information about the legal regulations
governing corruption and other related offenses. In 2023, 19,889
people received a total of 2,667 person*hours of Anti-Corruption and
Anti-Bribery training.
The sensitivities specified in the Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption
Policy on the home page of İşbank’s purchasing platform are also
observed in supplier selection. During the reporting period, no
suppliers were discovered to be implicated in bribery and corruption
incidents.

The principles regarding the Bank’s dividend distribution are
regulated in Article 58 of the Articles of Incorporation. According to
this:
“After deducting all general expenses from the income arising from
the operations of the Bank within a year, including premiums, bonuses
and similar payments to the personnel of the Bank, and funds for
all kinds of depreciations, as well as necessary provisions, the net
profit obtained shall partly be set aside as reserve fund and partly
distributed in the order, manner, and at the rates indicated below.
a) 1- 5% to legal reserve fund,
2- 5% as provision for probable future losses,
3- 10% as first extraordinary reserve fund.
If the cause for the setting aside of a provision and fund for a
probable future loss and/or risk no longer exists, the remainder of
these accounts added to the net profit after the allocation made in
subparagraph (a) shall be added to the first contingency reserve
fund in section (a/3).
b) An amount equal to 6% of the paid-in capital represented by
Group A, B, and C shares shall be distributed to shareholders as
the "first dividend" from the amount remaining after the reserves
mentioned in paragraph (a) above are set aside from the net profit.
Should the profit realized in any year be insufficient to provide
for the first dividend of 6% referred to above, the balance shall
be allocated and distributed from the extraordinary reserve fund.
However, the amount allocated from the reserve fund in this way
shall constitute a debt that must be allocated from the net profit of
subsequent years.
c) After the reserved fund referred to in paragraph (a) and the first
dividend referred to in paragraph (b) above, the balance shall be
distributed as follows:
10% to the founder shares (limited to the portion of TL 250
thousand –two hundred and fifty thousand– of paid-in capital)
20% to the employees of the Bank, and
10% shall be set aside as the second extraordinary reserve fund.
d) After the amounts set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) have
been set aside and distributed, the balance remaining by
considering paragraph (e) shall be distributed to the shareholders
as a “second dividend” in the manner stated below.
Profit Distribution Offer
1- The net total of the dividends to be distributed to the holders of
Group A shares as first and second dividends under paragraphs
(b) and (d) may not exceed 60% of the capital paid up by them,
the net total of the dividends to be distributed to holders of Group
B shares may not exceed 30% of the capital paid up by them, and
the net total of the dividends to be distributed to holders of Group
C shares may not exceed 25% of the capital paid up by them.
2-After the amounts set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) have
been set aside and distributed, should the balance be insufficient
to distribute the second dividend in the manner specified by the
paragraph (1) above, total dividends to be paid to the three Groups
of shares shall be calculated separately in the distribution of the
second dividend by considering twice the amount of the paid-in
capital represented by Group A shares, the full amount of the paid-
in capital represented by Group B shares, and 5/6 (five-sixths) of
the amount of paid-in capital represented by Group C shares.
e) The amount that needs to be added to the statutory reserve under
paragraph 2/c of Article 519 of the Turkish Commercial Code shall
be set aside.
f) The General Assembly shall, upon proposal of the Board of
Directors, decide whether the balance remaining after the
distribution and allocation of the net profit as specified above
shall be transferred to the extraordinary reserve funds, carried
over to the following year, or up to 80% of such balance be
distributed in net to the shareholders by dividing the same by the
number of shares and the remaining balance be transferred to the
extraordinary reserve funds or carried over to the following year.
In the calculation of the dividends to be paid to all three Groups of
shares; Group A shares will be considered as 40 times the share
quantity, Group B shares will be considered as 1.5 times of the
share quantity, and Group C shares will be considered as the same
quantity due to the reason that 20 shares each with a nominal
value of TL 500 (this amount is related to the period prior to the
Law No. 5083 regarding the Monetary Unit of the Turkish Republic
on which the rate of change has not been applied) have been
changed with shares with a nominal value of 1 Kurus."adet payın 1
Kuruş nominal değerde pay ile değiştirilmesi nedeniyle A grubu pay
sayısının 40 katı, B grubu pay sayısının 1.5 katı, C grubu pay sayısı
ise aynen dikkate alınır.
The dividends are distributed within the scope of the related
legislation in a manner and at a time determined by the General
Assembly.
The Dividend Distribution Offer of the Board of Directors (depending on the permission to be obtained and the completion of the procedures) will
be submitted for the review of our shareholders on the official website of our Bank, www.isbank.com.tr, on the EGKS portal of MKK and on the Public
Disclosure Platform.

Good Corporate CitizenLooking Into the FutureAn Overview of İşbankHow We Create ValueReliable Financial ActorResponsible OperationsFinancial Reports and Annexesİşbank 2023 Integrated Annual Reportİşbank 2023 Integrated Annual Report Summary Report of the Board of
Directors
Esteemed Shareholders,
Welcome to our Bank’s 100th Ordinary General Assembly Meeting. As we present the Board of Directors' Report, the Balance Sheet and the
Income Statement covering the results of our activities in fiscal year 2023 for your review and approval, we respectfully greet all of you here today.
In 2023, geopolitical uncertainties persisted, while the relatively weak course of global economic growth continued with divergence among
countries. Although inflation lost momentum on a global scale, it continued to hover above central banks' targets. Maintaining their rate hikes
throughout the year, major central banks preferred to wait to monitor the effects of the tightening steps taken in the last quarter of the year.
The Türkiye economy grew by 4.5 per cent in 2023 thanks to the continued strong course of consumption expenditures and the recovery in
investment expenditures following the earthquake disaster. Despite the favourable performance of budget revenues, particularly tax revenues,
increased budget expenditures due to the earthquake disaster and high inflation caused the budget deficit to widen rapidly in 2023.
The banking sector maintained its strong outlook in 2023 and continued to support economic activity. TL loan volume, including loans extended
to the financial sector, increased by 53.5% to TL 7,293 billion as of 29 December 2023. In USD terms, FX loan volume decreased by 3.5% to 121.6
billion USD in the same period. Thus, total loan volume expanded by 52.9% to TRY 10,859 billion as of 29 December 2023. According to exchange
rate adjusted figures, total loan volume expanded by 34.7% in this period.
According to the Weekly Bulletin published by the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency, as of 29 December 2023, TL deposits including
banks' deposits increased by 85.9% compared to the same period of 2022 and reached 8,308 billion TRY. In USD terms, FX deposit volume
decreased by 8.2% to 191.3 billion USD in this period. The volume of FX-protected deposits, which peaked at TL 3.4 trillion in August, started
to decline following the announcement of the exit strategy on 20 August and fell to TL 2.6 trillion as of 29 December. Thus, as of 29 December
2023, total deposit volume increased by 66.5% compared to the same period of the previous year and reached TL 13,919 billion. Adjusted for the
exchange rate effect, the annual increase in total deposit volume was 42.1%.
As of 31.12.2023 compared to the end of the previous year,
Our loans increased by 51.1% to TL 1,147.4 billion,
ੵ Our deposits increased by 78.5% to TL 1,662.2 billion,
ੵ Our total assets increased by 74.2% to TL 2,453.8 billion,
ੵ Shareholders' equity increased by 39.9% to TL 267.8 billion
has arrived.
In 2023, the Bank maintained its effective risk management and smooth growth policy in credit allocation processes, and its non-performing
loans ratio stood at 2.1% at year-end. In 2023, while maintaining its leadership among private banks in total deposits, the Bank continued to utilise
non-deposit funding opportunities in domestic and foreign markets in order to diversify resources and extend the maturity structure of liabilities by
considering the cost of funding.
Maintaining its strong capital structure, the Bank's capital adequacy ratio stood at 21.6% at the end of 2023, well above the legal limit. The Bank
generated a net profit of TL 72.3 billion in 2023, while return on average equity and return on assets were 33.3% and 3.8%, respectively.
Our Esteemed Shareholders,
We hereby submit our Annual Report, Balance Sheet and Income Statement pertaining to our activities during 2023 for your review and approval.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to our stakeholders for their steadfast trust in our Bank, to the institutions of the
Republic of Türkiye for their support, and to our employees for their dedicated efforts. We extend our respects to you, our valued shareholders, for
having honored this General Assembly Meeting with your attendance.

To the General Assembly of Türkiye İş Bankası Anonim Şirketi:
Audit of Unconsolidated Financial Statements
Qualified Opinion
We have audited the accompanying unconsolidated financial statements of Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş (the Bank), which comprise the statement of balance
sheet as at December 31, 2023, and the unconsolidated statement of income, unconsolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, unconsolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, unconsolidated statement of cash flows and a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory notes to the unconsolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter on the unconsolidated financial statements described in the Basis of for Qualified Opinion paragraph,
the accompanying unconsolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the unconsolidated financial position of Türkiye İş Bankası
A.Ş. as at December 31, 2023 and unconsolidated financial performance and unconsolidated its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with
the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (“BRSA”) Accounting and Financial Reporting Legislation which includes “Regulation on Accounting
Applications for Banks and Safeguarding of Documents” published in the Official Gazette no.26333 dated 1 November 2006, and other regulations on
accounting records of Banks published by Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency and circulars and interpretations published by BRSA and Turkish
Financial Reporting Standards (“TFRS”) for those matters not regulated by the aforementioned regulations.
Basis of Qualified Opinion
As explained in Section Five Part II-i.4.5, IV.e and IV.f the accompanying unconsolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2023 include a free
provision at an amount of TL 10,000,000 thousands of which TL 8,475,000 thousands was provided in prior years and TL 2,000,000 thousands and
TL 3,525,000 thousands were reversed and provided, respectively in the current period by the Bank management for the possible effects of the negative
circumstances which may arise from the possible changes in the economy and market conditions which does not meet the recognition criteria of
“Turkish Accounting Standard” (TAS) 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”.
Our audit was conducted in accordance with “Regulation on independent audit of the Banks” published in the Official Gazette no.29314 dated April
2, 2015 by BRSA (BRSA Independent Audit Regulation) and Independent Auditing Standards (“ISA”) which are the part of Turkish Auditing Standards
issued by the Public Oversight Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority (“POA”) and the International Auditing and Accounting Standards Board
(IAASB). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
section of our report. We are independent of the Bank in accordance with of Code of Ethics for Independent Auditors (Code of Ethics) published by
POA and International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and have fulfilled our other
responsibilities in accordance with the code of ethics and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the unconsolidated financial statements
of the current period. Key audit matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the unconsolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming
our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion
section we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter
How the Key Audit Matter is addressed in our audit
Pension Fund Obligations
Financial impact of TFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” standard
and impairment on financial assets and related important
disclosures
As presented in Section III disclosure VIII, the Bank
Our audit procedures included among others include:
recognizes expected credit losses of financial assets in
accordance with TFRS 9 Financial Instruments standard.
We considered impairment of financial assets as a key audit
matter since:
Amount of on and off-balance sheet items that are subject
to expected credit loss calculation is material to the
financial statements.
There are complex and comprehensive requirements of
TFRS 9.
The classification of the financial assets is based on
the Bank’s business model and characteristics of the
contractual cash flows in accordance with TFRS 9 and
the Bank uses significant judgment on the assessment
of the business model and identification of the complex
contractual cash flow characteristics of financial

Auditing of TFRS 9 disclosures.
It has been addressed whether there have been any significant changes in
regulations governing pension liabilities, employee benefits plan during the
period, that could lead to adjust the valuation of employee benefits.
Support from actuarial auditor of our firm, has been taken to assess the
appropriateness of the actuarial assumptions and calculations performed
by the external actuary. We further focused on the accuracy and adequacy
of the Bank’s provision provided for the deficit and also disclosures on key
assumptions related to pension fund deficit.
Our audit procedures included among others involve reviewing policies
regarding fair value measurement accepted by the bank management fair
value calculations of the selected derivative financial instruments which
is carried out by valuation experts of our firm and the assessment of used
estimations and the judgements and testing the assessment of operating
effectiveness of the key controls in the process of fair value determination.
Employees of the Bank are members of “Türkiye İş Bankası
A.Ş. Mensupları Emekli Sandığı Vakfı”, (“the Fund”), which is
established in accordance with the temporary Article 20 of
the Social Security Act No. 506 and related regulations. The
Fund is a separate legal entity and foundation recognized
by an official decree, providing all qualified employees
with pension and post-retirement benefits. As disclosed in
the “Section Three Note XVII” to the financial statements,
Banks will transfer their pension fund to the Social Security
Institution and the authority of the “Council of Ministers” on
the determination of the mentioned transfer date is changed
as “President” in the Decree Law No. 703 published in the
Official Gazette numbered 30473 and dated July 9, 2018.
According to the technical balance sheet report as of 31
December 2023 prepared considering the related articles
of the Law regarding the transferrable benefit obligations for
the non- transferrable social benefits and payments which
are included in the articles of association, the Fund has an
actuarial and technical deficit which is fully provisioned for.
The valuation of the Pension Fund liabilities requires
judgment in determining appropriate assumptions such as
defining the transferrable social benefits, discount rates,
salary increases, demographic assumptions, inflation rate
estimates and the impact of any changes in individual
pension plans. The Bank Management uses Fund actuaries
to assist in assessing these assumptions.
Considering the subjectivity of key assumptions and
estimate used in the calculations of transferrable liabilities
and the effects of the potential changes in the estimates
used together with the uncertainty around the transfer date
and given the fact that technical interest rate is prescribed
under the law, we considered this to be a key audit matter.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments including foreign exchange
contracts, currency and interest rate swaps, currency and
interest rate options, futures and other derivative financial
instruments which are held for trading are initially recognized
on the statement of financial position at fair value and
subsequently are re-measured at their fair value. Details of
related amounts are explained in “Section Five Note I.c.” and
“Section Five Note II.b”.
Fair value of the derivative financial instruments is
determined by selecting most convenient market data and
applying valuation techniques to those particular derivative
products. Derivative Financial Instruments are considered
by us as a key audit matter because of the subjectivity in the
estimates, assumptions and judgments used.

Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş.
Responsibilities of Management and Directors for the Unconsolidated Financial Statements
Bank management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the unconsolidated financial statements in accordance with the BRSA Accounting and Reporting
Legislation and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statement that is free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the unconsolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Bank or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Bank’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Unconsolidated Financial Statements
In an independent audit, the responsibilities of us as independent auditors are:
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with BRSA
Independent Audit Regulation and ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The unconsolidated financial report as at and for the year ended prepared in accordance with the communiqué of “Financial Statements and Related Disclosures and
Footnotes to be announced to Public by Banks” as regulated by Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency, comprises the following sections:
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE BANK
UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
EXPLANATIONS ON THE ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL STRUCTURE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
DISCLOSURES AND FOOTNOTES ON THE UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As part of an audit in accordance with BRSA Independent Audit Regulation and ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the
audit. We also:
OTHER EXPLANATIONS
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the unconsolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. (The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control.)
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we
are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the unconsolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Bank to cease to
continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the unconsolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent
the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any
significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with government with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with
them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the unconsolidated financial
statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure
about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing
so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
1. In accordance with Article 402 paragraph 4 of the Turkish Commercial Code (“TCC”) no 6102; no significant matter has come to our attention that causes us
to believe that the Bank’s bookkeeping activities and financial statements for the period January 1 – December 31, 2023, are not in compliance with the TCC
and provisions of the Bank’s articles of association in relation to financial reporting.
2. In accordance with Article 402 paragraph 4 of the TCC; the Board of Directors submitted to us the necessary explanations and provided required documents
within the context of audit.

Notes To The Unconsolidated Financial Statements For The Year Ended
December 31, 2023
SECTION THREE: EXPLANATIONS ON ACCOUNTING POLICIES
I.
Basis of Presentation:
The unconsolidated financial statements, related notes, and explanations in this report are prepared in accordance with the “Regulation on Accounting Applications for
Banks and Safeguarding of Documents” and other regulations on accounting records of Banks published by Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency and circulars and
interpretations published by Banking Regulation and Supervision Authority, (together referred as “BRSA Accounting and Financial Reporting Legislation”) and requirements
of Turkish Financial Reporting Standards (TFRS) published the Public Oversight Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority for the matters not regulated by the
aforementioned legislations.
TAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflation Economies requires entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy to prepare their financial statements
in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. TAS 29 describes characteristics that may indicate that an economy is hyperinflationary, and it
requires all entities that report in the currency of the same hyperinflationary economy apply this Standard from the same date. With the announcement made on November
23 2023, POA stated that, entities that is applying TFRS on their financial statements for the annual reporting period ending on or after 31 December 2023 should be
presented by adjusting for the inflation effect in accordance with the relevant accounting principles in the TAS 29 standard, on the other hand, He explained that institutions or
organizations authorized to regulate and supervise may determine different transition dates in their own fields for the implementation of TMS 29 provisions. In accordance with
the BRSA’s decision dated December 12 2023 and numbered 10744, the financial statements of banks and financial leasing, factoring, financing, savings financing and asset
management companies dated 31 December 2023 will not be subject to the inflation adjustment required within the scope of TMS 29. and In accordance with the Decision
No. 10825 dated January 11 2024 , it was decided to switch to inflation accounting as of January 1, 2025. Accordingly, TMS 29 was not applied and no inflation adjustment
was made in the financial statements dated 31 December 2023.
TFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” standard, published by POA on 16.02.2019 to be applied for accounting periods starting after 31.12.2023, determines the principles regarding
the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of insurance contracts within the scope of the standard. The purpose of TFRS 17 is to ensure that entities display
these contracts fairly. POA has decided to apply TFRS 17 on consolidated and individual financial statements of companies as of 01.01.2024. In this context, the relevant
standard has not been applied in the financial statements dated 31.12.2023.
Within the scope of the project to change the benchmark interest rates carried out by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), the “Benchmark Interest Rate
Reform - 2nd stage” which brings changes to various TAS / TFRS, effective as of January 1, 2021, was published in December 2020. As of June 30, 2023, the Secured
Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) has started to be used in open transactions with variable interest rates indexed to USD LIBOR. The mentioned changes did not have a
significant impact on the Bank’s financial statements as of December 31, 2023.
The accounting policies applied in the current period are in line with the prior period Unconsolidated financial statements. The accounting policies and valuation principles
used in the preparation of financial statements are presented below in detail.
II.
Strategy for Use of Financial Instruments and Foreign Currency Transactions
1. The Bank’s Strategy on Financial Instruments
The Bank’s main activities comprise private, retail, commercial and corporate banking, money market and securities market operations, as well as activities related to
international banking services.
In conformity with the general liability structure of the banking system, the Bank’s liabilities are mainly composed of short-term deposits and other medium and long-term
liabilities. The liquidity risk that may arise from this liability structure can be easily controlled through deposit continuity, as well as widespread network of the correspondent
banks, market maker status (The Bank is one of the market makers banks) and by the use of liquidity facilities of the Central Bank of Republic of Turkey (“CBRT”). As a result,
the liquidity of the Bank and the banking system can be easily monitored. On the other hand, foreign currency liquidity requirements are met by the money market operations
and currency swaps.
2. Foreign Currency Transactions
Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities on the balance sheet are converted into Turkish Lira by using the prevailing exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Non-
monetary items in foreign currencies carried at fair value are converted into Turkish Lira by the rates at the date of which the fair value is determined. Exchange rate differences
arising from the conversions of monetary foreign currency items and the collections of and payments in foreign currency transactions are reflected to the income statement.
The Bank started to apply equity method for the foreign associates and subsidiaries which were followed with historical rates in accordance with the TAS 27 “Separate
Financial Statements” In this context, foreign subsidiaries are accounted at current rates in the financial statement and the resulting exchange differences are accounted under
equity.
The financial statements of the foreign branches of the Bank are prepared in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional
currency). The financial statements of foreign branches are expressed in TL which is the functional currency of the Bank and the presentation currency of the financial
statements. Assets and liabilities of the foreign branches of the Bank are converted into TL by using the prevailing exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Income and
expenses are converted by at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. The exchange rate differences arising from the conversion are recorded in the shareholders’
equity.
The Bank has been applying net investment hedging accounting to the portion of its net investment amounting to EUR 397 million in its subsidiary Isbank AG, headquartered
in Germany and whose functional currency is the Euro, which it accounts for using the equity method, in order to protect against exchange difference risk since November
2023. The part of the demand euro deposit that is subject to hedge accounting has been determined as a hedging instrument. Currency-related changes in the portion of
demand foreign currency deposits subject to hedge accounting are accounted for in equity under “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income or Expenses Reclassified in
Profit or Loss”.
III.
Associates and Subsidiaries
The Bank accounts, its associates, and subsidiaries in accordance with equity method which described in TAS 28.
Under the equity method, Bank’s share of net assets of the associates and subsidiaries is recognized in the Bank’s financial statements. The profit or loss of the Bank includes
the Bank’s share of the profit or loss of the associates and subsidiaries and Bank’s other comprehensive income or expenses include the Bank’s share of other comprehensive
income or expenses of the associates and subsidiaries. Mergers / acquisitions and change in share ratios of related associates and subsidiaries during the period are shown
under the item “Increase / Decrease through Other Changes” in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.
IV.
Forward, Option Contracts and Derivatives Instruments
Derivative transactions of the Bank consist of foreign currency and interest rate swaps, forwards, foreign currency options and interest rate options. The Bank has no derivative
instruments decomposed from the main contract.
The Bank classifies derivative transactions, which act as a hedge but does not meet qualification criteria for hedge accounting, as “Derivative Financial Assets at Fair Value
through Profit or Loss” in accordance with the “TFRS 9 Financial Instruments” requirements.
Derivative transactions are recorded at their fair value at the date of contract, receivables and payables arising from these transactions are recorded in off-balance sheet
accounts. Derivative transactions are measured at fair value at subsequent reporting dates and if the valuation difference is positive, they are classified as “Derivative Financial
Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss”, if it is negative they are classified as “Derivative Financial Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss”. The differences arising from
the valuation of derivative transactions are associated with the income statement.
On off-balance sheet items table, options which generated assets for the Bank are presented under “call options” line and which generated liabilities are presented under “put
options” line.
Most of the funds collected bear fixed interest, and by closely monitoring the developments in the sector, both fixed and floating rate placements are made based on the yields
of alternative investment instruments.
V.
Interest Income and Expenses
Safety principle has always been the top priority in placements and the placements are focused on high yielding and low risk assets by considering their maturity structure.
Accordingly, a pricing policy aiming at high return is implemented in the long-term placements and attention is paid to the maximum use of non-interest income generation
opportunities. The Bank determines its lending strategy by taking into consideration the international and national economic data and expectations, market conditions, current
and potential credit customers’ expectations and tendencies, and risks such as; interest rate, liquidity, currency and credit risks. Furthermore, in conformity with this strategy, the
Bank acts within the legal limits in terms of asset-liability management.
Interest income is calculated by using the effective interest rate method (the rate that equal the future cash flows of a financial asset or liability to its present net book value) to
gross carrying amount of financial asset in conformity with “TFRS 9 Financial Instruments” except financial asset that is not a purchased or originated credit-impaired financial
asset but subsequently has become credit-impaired.
Under the scope of TFRS 9 application, the Bank does not reverse the interest accruals and rediscounts of non-performing loans and other receivables and monitors the
related amounts under interest income and calculates expected credit loss on these amounts according to the related methodology.
The primary objectives related to balance sheet components are set by the long-term plans shaped along with budgeting; and the Bank takes the required positions against
the short-term currency, interest rates and price fluctuations in accordance with these plans and the course of the market conditions.
VI.
Fees and Commission Income and Expenses
Foreign currency, interest rate and price fluctuations in the markets are monitored instantaneously. While taking positions, in addition to the legal limits, the Bank’s own
transaction and control limits are also effectively monitored in order to avoid limit overrides.
The Bank’s asset-liability management is executed by the Asset-Liability Management Committee, within the risk limits determined by the Board of Directors, in order to keep
the liquidity risk, interest rate risk, currency risk and credit risk within certain limits depending on the equity adequacy and to maximize profitability.
Wages and commissions those that are not an integral part of the effective interest rate of the financial instruments measured at amortized cost are accounted for in
accordance with “TFRS 15 - Revenue from Customer Contracts”. Fees and commission income and expenses are recognized either on accrual basis or by using the effective
interest method. Income earned in return for services rendered contractually or due to operations like sale or purchase of assets on behalf of a third-party real person or
corporate body are recognized in income accounts in the period of collection.
VII.
Financial Assets
The Bank within the scope of “TFRS 9 Financial Instruments”, classifies and accounts its financial assets as “Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss”, “Financial
Assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income” or “Financial Assets at Measured at Amortized Cost” by taking into account their business model and contractual
cash flow characteristics. Financial assets are recognized or derecognized according to TFRS 9 “Recognition and Derecognition in Statement of Financial Position”
requirements. The Bank recognizes a financial asset in its statement of financial position when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are measured at their fair value on initial recognition in the financial statements.

Notes To The Unconsolidated Financial Statements For The Year Ended

Notes To The Unconsolidated Financial Statements For The Year Ended
December 31, 2023
The Bank has three different business models for classification of financial assets:
Business model aimed at holding financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows: Financial assets held under the mentioned business model are managed to
collect contractual cash flows over the life of these assets. The Bank manages its assets held under this portfolio in order to collect certain contractual cash flows
Business model aimed at collecting contracted cash flows of financial assets and selling: In this business model, the Bank intends both to collect contractual cash flows of
financial assets and to sell these assets.
Other business models: A business model in which financial assets; are not held within the scope of a business model aimed at collection of contractual cash flows and
within the scope of a business model aimed at collecting and selling contracted cash flows, are measured by reflecting fair value in profit or loss.
The Bank is able to reclassify all affected financial assets in case it changes the business model that is used for the management of financial asset.
In the event of the termination of the rights related to the cash flows from a financial asset, the transfer of all risks and rewards of the financial asset to a significant extent or has
no longer control of the financial assets, the Bank derecognizes the financial asset.
1.
Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss
Financial assets except financial assets measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for the purpose of generating profit from short-term fluctuations in price or similar factors in the
market or being part of a portfolio for profitability in the short term, regardless of the acquisition reason or financial assets that are not held in a business model that aims at
collecting and/or selling contractual cash flows of financial assets.
The Bank also holds consumer price indexed government bonds (“CPI”) in its securities portfolio, reclassified as financial assets measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income, financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets measured at amortised cost. In the valuation of the mentioned
securities, the estimated inflation curve created by using the CPI index announced by Turkish Statistical Institute (“TÜİK”) and the “Annual CPI Expectation After 12 Months”
from the CBRT Market Participants Survey is used. Future cash flows of securities are estimated by using the mentioned inflation data and valuation is made according to the
effective interest method within the framework of the reference inflaiton index formula specified in the Undersecretariat of Treasury’s Investor Guide of CPI.
VIII.
Impairment of Financial Assets
In accordance with the “TFRS 9-Financial Instruments” and the regulation and related decision “Procedures and Principals regarding Classification of Loans and Allowances
Allocated for Such Loans” issued by BRSA, the Bank recognizes expected credit loss allowance on financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial
assets measured at amortized cost, impaired credit commitments and financial guarantee contracts.
Within the scope of TFRS 9, the expected credit loss is calculated according to the “three-stage” impairment model based on the change in the loan quality of financial assets
after initial recognition and detailed in the following headings:
Stage 1:
An important determinant for calculating the expected credit loss in accordance with TFRS 9 is to assess whether there is a significant increase in the credit risk of the financial
asset. Financial assets that have not experienced a significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition are monitored in the stage one. Impairment for credit risk for the
Stage 1 financial assets is equal to the 12-month expected credit losses.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value on the balance sheet and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Gains or losses
arising from the valuation are related to profit and loss accounts.
Stage 2:
In some cases, restructuring, alteration or counterparty changes of contractual cash flows of loans may lead to derecognition of related loans in accordance with TFRS 9.
When the change in the financial asset results from derecognizing the existing financial asset from the financial statements and the revised financial asset is recognized in
the financial statements, the revised financial asset is considered as a new financial asset in accordance with TFRS 9. When it is determined that there are significant changes
between the new conditions of the revised financial asset and the first conditions in related agreements, the Bank evaluates the new financial asset according to the current
business models. When it is determined that the contractual conditions do not only result in cash flows that include principal and interest payments at certain dates, the
financial asset is recognized at fair value and is subject to valuation. The differences arising from the valuation are reflected in the nominal accounts.
The Bank recognizes loans at fair value through profit or loss, if the contractual terms of the loan, do not result in cash flow including the principal payments and interest
payments generated from principal amounts at certain dates. These loans are valued at their fair values after their recognition and the losses or gains arising from the valuation
are included in the profit and loss accounts.
2. Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are financial assets that are held under a business model that aims both to collect contractual cash flows
and to sell financial assets, and financial assets with contractual terms that lead to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principle amount
outstanding at specific dates.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially recognized at their fair value including their transaction costs on the financial statements. The
initial recognition and subsequent valuation of such financial assets, including the transaction costs, are carried out on a fair value basis and the difference between amortized
cost and the cost of borrowing instruments is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method. Dividend income arising from investments in equity instruments
that are classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income is also recognized in income statements.
Gains and losses, except impairment gain or loss and foreign exchange gain or loss, arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income are reflected to other comprehensive income until derecognized or reclassified. When the value of the financial asset is collected or financial asset is
disposed, the related fair value differences accumulated in the shareholders’ equity are transferred to the profit or loss statement.
During the initial introduction to financial statements, amendments to the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument within the framework of TFRS 9 that are not held
for trading or that are not valued in a financial statement of an entity that acquires business combinations under the “TFRS 3 Business Combinations” may be subject to
an irreversible preference regarding these amendments being accounted in other comprehensive income. In such case dividends taken from mentioned investment will be
accounted in financial statement as profit or loss.
3. Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost
Financial assets measured at amortized cost are those financial assets that are held within the framework of a business model aimed at collecting contractual cash flows
over the life of the asset and which result in cash flows that include principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding at specific dates. Financial assets measured
at amortized cost with the initial recognition at fair value including transaction costs are subject to valuation with their discounted cost value by using the effective interest
rate method, after eliminating any provision for impairment if there is any. Interest income measured by using the effective interest rate method are recognized in the income
statement as an “interest income”.
The Bank evaluates its loans within the framework of current business models and can be classified as Financial Assets measured at Amortized Cost.
Financial assets that experienced a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition, are transferred to Stage 2. The expected credit loss of these financial assets
are measured at an amount equal to the instrument’s lifetime expected credit loss. In order to classify a financial asset in the stage 2, the following criteria is considered:
Overdue between 30-90 days
Restructuring of the loan
Significant deterioration in the probability of default
In case of a significant deterioration in the probability of default, the credit risk is considered to be increased significantly and the financial asset is classified as stage 2. The
absolute and gradual thresholds used to increase the probability of default are differentiated on the basis of portfolio and product group. In this manner, for the commercial
portfolio, definition of increase in the probability of default is the comparison between the probability of default on loan’s opening date, obtained from the integrated rating/
score based on internal rating and probability of default of the same loan on reporting date, obtained from the integrated rating/score based on internal rating. For the individual
portfolio, it is accepted that the probability of default is worsened in cases where the behavioral score falls below the thresholds determined on the basis of the product and the
probability of default exceeds the thresholds determined on the basis of the product.
Stage 3:
Financial assets with sufficient and fair information for impairment at the reporting date, are classified in the third stage. Expected credit loss of these financial assets is
measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit loss. The following basic factors are considered for the classification of a financial asset in the third stage:
More than 90 days past due
Whether the credit rating is weakened, has suffered a significant weakness or cannot be collected or there is a certain opinion on this matter
While estimating the expected credit loss, statistical models, methods and tools are used in accordance with the relevant legislation and accounting standards. Expected credit
loss is measured using reasonable and supportable information by taking current and forecasts of future economic information into consideration, including macroeconomic
factors. Three scenarios, base scenario, optimistic scenario and the worst scenario, are used in forecasting studies made by macroeconomic models. The variables used in
these macroeconomic estimates Industrial Production Index, Employment Ratio and Credit Default Swap indicators. The validity of the risk parameter estimates used in the
calculation of expected credit losses is reviewed and evaluated at least annually within the framework of model validation processes. In 2023, loss at default models were
updated in individual and commercial portfolios, and statistical models that estimate the loss at default parameter through decision trees differentiated according to risk
variables in the relevant portfolios began to be used in expected credit loss calculations. Macroeconomic forecasts and risk delinquency data used in risk parameter models
are re-evaluated every quarter to reflect the changes in economic conjuncture and are updated if needed. Except for demand or revolving loans, the maximum period for
which expected credit losses are to be determined is the contractual life of the financial asset. For demand or revolving loans, maturity is determined by taking the future risk
mitigation processes into account such as behavioral maturity analyses performed by the Bank and cancellation/revision of the Bank’s credit limit.
While calculating the expected credit loss, aside from assessment of whether there is a significant increase in credit risk or not, basic parameters expressed as probability of
default, loss given default and exposure at default are used.
Probability of Default: Represents the probability of default on the loan over a specified time period. In this context, the Bank has developed models to calculate 12-month
and life-time default probabilities by using internal rating based credit rating models. As for the Group Companies historical probability of default data has also been observed.

Loss Given Default (LGD): Defined as the damage caused by the default of borrower to the total balance of the exposure at the time of default. The LGD estimates are
determined in terms of credit risk groups that are detailed in the Bank’s data resources and system facilities. The model used for LGD forecasting based on the Bank’s historical
collection data, statistical models are used to explain the LGD ratios formed in past periods, taking into account the direct cost items in the collection process, using risk
variables that differ for each credit risk group
Exposure at Default: For cash loans, the cash balance at the date of report, for non-cash loans the balance calculated using the Credit Conversion Factor (CCF) is
represented by Exposure at Default.
Credit Conversion Factor: Calculated for non-cash loans (undrawn limit for revolving loans, commitments, non-cash loans etc.) The historical limit usage data of the Bank for
revolving loans are analyzed and the limit amount that can be used until the moment of default is estimated. For non-cash loans, the cash conversion ratio of the loan amount is
estimated by analyzing the product type and the past compensation amount of the bank.
Credit risks, which require qualitative assessments due to their characteristics and differ by grouping in this manner, are considered as individual within the internal policies.
Calculations are made by the method of discounted cash flows with the effective interest rate expected from the relevant financial instrument. Discounted cash flows are
estimated for 3 different scenarios in which parameters are differentiated, and individual expected credit loss is calculated by taking into consideration the cash deficit amounts
weighted according to probabilities.
As mentioned above, the Bank allocated expected credit losses by reflecting additional provisions through individual assessments performed for the customers that operates
in sectors where the impact might be high in accordance with the Bank’s risk policies.
XIII.
Tangible Assets
The Bank follows its real estates in use, which are recorded under tangible fixed assets, according to the revaluation model within the framework of “TAS 16 – Property, Plant
and Equipment”. The positive difference between the net book value of real estate property values and the renewed expertise values which are determined by the licensed
valuation companies, are recorded under the shareholders’ equity in current period.
In case there is an indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of the related intangible asset is estimated within the framework of “TAS 36 – Impairment of Assets” and
impairment provision is set aside in case the recoverable amount is below its acquisition cost.
Tangible assets other than the land and construction in progress are amortized at the straight-line method, according to their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life,
residual amount and the method of amortization are reviewed every year for the possible effects of the changes that occur in the estimates and if there is any change in the
estimates, they are recognized prospectively.
Assets held under finance lease are depreciated over the expected useful life of the related assets.
Assets subject to leasing are depreciated according to relevant contract periods.
Within the scope of the TFRS 16 standard, development costs related to leases that cannot be added to the cost of the right-of-use asset and are within the scope of
exceptions in the mentioned standard are amortized in equal amounts, taking into account the useful-life period. However, in any case the useful life cannot exceed leasing
term. When the lease period is not certain or longer than 5 years, the amortization period is recognized as 5 years.
On the other hand, the possible effects of the earthquake disaster that occurred on 06.02.2023 on the loan portfolio have been the subject of expected loan loss calculations
on the basis of loan classes, taking into account the current regulations and data on the subject.
The difference between the sales proceeds arising from the disposal of tangible assets or the inactivation of a tangible asset and the book value of the tangible assets are
recognized in the income statement.
Expected credit loss is reflected in the income statement. Released provisions in the current year are accounted under “Expected Credit Loss Expenses” and released provision
which is carried from the prior year are accounted under “Other Operating Income”.
Receivables evidenced through the Legal Process that collection is not possible can be written-off by fulfilling the requirements of the Tax Procedure Law. Besides, the loans
for which specific provision is allocated and for which there is no reasonable expectation of recovery might be written-off.
IX.
Offsetting Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be offset, and the net amount shall be presented in the balance sheet only when a party currently has a legally enforceable right to
set off the recognized amounts or intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
X.
Sale and Repurchase Agreements and Securities Lending Transactions
Marketable securities subject to repurchase agreements are classified under “Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit and Loss”, “Financial Assets at Fair Value through
Other Comprehensive Income” or “Financial Assets Measured at Amortised Cost” in the Bank’s portfolio and they are valued according to the valuation principles of the related
portfolios.
Funds obtained from the repurchase agreements are recognized under “Funds from Repurchase Transactions” account in liabilities. For the difference between the sale and
repurchase prices determined by the repo agreements for the period; expense accrual is calculated using the effective interest rate method.
Reverse repo transactions are recognized under the “Receivables from Reverse Repo Transactions” account. For the difference between the purchase and resale prices
determined by the reverse repo agreements for the period; income accrual is calculated using the effective interest rate method.
XI.
Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations and Related Liabilities
Assets that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale within the scope of “TFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations” are measured at the
lower one of their fair value and their carrying amount which from the costs to sell are deducted and presented separately within the financial statements. In order to classify a
tangible fixed asset as held for sale, the asset (or the disposal group) should be available for an immediate sale in its present condition subject to the terms of any regular sales
of such assets (or such disposal groups) and the sale should be highly probable. For a highly probable sale, the appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan
to sell the asset (or the disposal group), and an active programme to complete the plan should be initiated to locate a customer. Also, the asset (or the disposal group) should
have an active market sale value, which is a reasonable value in relation to its current fair value. Events or circumstances may extend the completion of the sale more than one
year. Such assets are still classified as held for sale if there is sufficient evidence that the delay in the sale process is due to the events and circumstances occurred beyond the
control of the entity or the entity remains committed to its plan to sell the asset (or disposal group).
Regular maintenance and repair costs incurred for tangible assets are recognized as expense.
There are no pledges, mortgages and similar encumbrances on tangible assets.
The “Regulation on Procedures and Principles for the Trading of Precious Metals by Banks and the Disposal of Commodities and Real Properties acquired by Banks due to their
Receivables” has been abolished by BRSA effective from January 1, 2017. Real properties acquired by Group due to their receivables and not treated in the scope of “TFRS 5 -
Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations” has been started to follow under “Other Assets” in accordance with the related accounting standard from the
current period.
The depreciation rates used in amortization of tangible assets and their estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings
Safe Boxes
Other Movables
XIV.
Leasing Transactions
Estimated Economic Life (Year)
Depreciation Rate
50
2-50
2-25
2%
2% - 50%
4% - 50%
The bank accounts for its leases within the scope of the “TFRS 16-Leases” standard (TFRS 16). For contracts within the scope of TFRS 16, right-of-use assets and lease
liabilities are reflected in the financial statements, and these are shown under “Tangible Assets” and “Leasing Transaction Liabilities “, respectively.
In accordance with TFRS 16, the right of use asset is first measured at cost. The cost of the right-of-use asset consists of the present value of the lease payments as of
the date the lease obligation begins, the amount obtained by deducting all lease incentives received, and the sum of all initial direct costs incurred by the lessee. The bank
measures right-of-use assets using the cost method. Fixed assets accounted for as right-of-use assets are depreciated taking into account the contract period.
In accordance with TFRS 16, the lease liability is calculated by discounting future lease payments using the Bank’s borrowing interest rate at the date of initial application or
contract. The interest on the lease liability for each period in the lease term is the amount found by applying a fixed periodic interest rate to the remaining balance of the lease
liability. Interest expenses and exchange differences related to lease liabilities are associated with the profit or loss statement.
A discontinued operation is a component of a bank that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. Gains or losses relating to discontinued operations are
presented separately in the income statement.
XV.
Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
XII.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
As at the balance sheet date, there is no goodwill recorded in the unconsolidated balance sheet of the Bank.
The Bank’s intangible assets consist of software programs. The purchased items are presented with their acquisition costs less the accumulated amortization and impairment
provisions. In case there is an indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of the related intangible asset is estimated within the framework of “TAS 36 –Impairment of
Assets” and impairment provision is set aside in case the recoverable amount is below its acquisition cost.
The related assets are amortized by the straight-line method considering the estimated useful life. The amortization method and period are periodically reviewed at the end of
each year.
As of the end of the reporting period, a past event is deemed to give rise to a present obligation if, taking account of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that a present
obligation exists, the entity recognizes a provision in the financial statements. As of the end of the reporting period where it is more likely that no present obligation exists at the
end of the reporting period, the entity discloses a contingent liability on footnotes unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
In the financial statements, a provision is made for an existing commitment resulted from past events if it is probable that the commitment will be settled, and a reliable estimate
can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are calculated based on the reliable estimates of management on the expenses to incur as of the balance sheet date to fulfill the liability by considering the risks
and uncertainties related to the liability. In case the provision is measured by using the estimated cash flows required to fulfill the existing liability, the book value of the related
liability is equal to the present value of the related cash flows.
If the amount is not reliably estimated and there is no probability of cash outflow from the Bank to settle the liability, the related liability is considered as “contingent” and
disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

XVI. Contingent Assets
The contingent assets usually arise from unplanned or other unexpected events that give rise to the possibility of an inflow of economic benefits to the Bank. Since showing
the contingent assets in the financial statements may result in the accounting of an income, which will never be generated, the related assets are not included in the
financial statements, but if there is a possibility that an inflow of economic benefits of these assets may occur then it is explained in the footnotes of the financial statements.
Nevertheless, the developments related to the contingent assets are constantly evaluated and if it has become virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise,
the asset and the related income are recognized in the financial statements of the period in which the change occurs.
XVII. Liabilities Regarding Employee Benefits
1.
Severance Indemnities and Short-Term Employee Benefits
According to the related regulation and the collective bargaining agreements, the Bank is obliged to pay termination benefits for employees who retire, die, quit for their military
service obligations, who have been dismissed as defined in the related regulation or (for the female employees) who have voluntarily quit within one year after the date of
their marriage. Within the scope of “TAS 19-Employee Benefits”, the Bank allocates severance indemnity provisions for employee benefits by estimating the present value of
the probable future liabilities. According to TAS 19, all actuarial gains and losses occurred are recognized under shareholder’s equity. The Bank also allocates provision for the
unused paid vacation.
2. Retirement Benefit Obligations
Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş. Emekli Sandığı Vakfı (“İşbank Pension Fund”), of which each Bank employee is a member, has been established according to the provisional Article
20 of the Social Security Act No. 506. As per provisional article numbered 23 of the Banking Law numbered 5411, it is ruled that Bank pension funds, which were established
within the framework of Social Security Act, will be transferred to the Social Security Institution, within 3 years after the publication of such law. Methods and principles related
to transfer have been determined as per the Cabinet decision dated 30 November 2006 numbered 2006/11345. However, the related article of the act has been cancelled
upon the President’s application dated November 2, 2005, by the Supreme Court’s decision dated March 22, 2007, numbered E.2005/39, K.2007/33, which was published on
the Official Gazette dated March 31, 2007, and numbered 26479 and the execution decision was ceased as of the issuance date of the related decision.
After the justified decree related to cancelling the provisional Article 23 of the Banking Law was announced by the Constitutional Court on the Official Gazette dated
December 15, 2007 and numbered 26731, Turkish Grand National Assembly started to work on establishing new legal regulations, and after it was approved at the General
Assembly of the TGNA, the Law numbered 5754 “Emendating Social Security and General Health Insurance Act and Certain Laws and Decree Laws”, which was published
on the Official Gazette dated 8 May 2008 and numbered 26870, came into effect. The new law decrees that the contributors of the Bank pension fund, the ones who receive
salaries or income from these funds and their rightful beneficiaries will be transferred to the Social Security Institution and will be subject to this Law within 3 years after the
release date of the related article, without any need for further operation. The three-year transfer period can be prolonged for maximum 2 years by the Cabinet decision.
However related transfer period has been prolonged for 2 years by the Cabinet decision dated March 14, 2011, which was published on the Official Gazette dated April 9, 2011,
and numbered 27900. In addition, by the Law “Emendating Social Security and General Health Insurance Act”, which was published on the Official Gazette dated March 8,
2012 and numbered 28227, this period of 2 years has been raised to 4 years after that related transfer period has been prolonged for one more year by the Cabinet decision
dated April 8, 2013, which was published on the Official Gazette dated 3 May 2013 and numbered 28636 also this period has revalidated one more year by the Cabinet
decision dated February 24, 2014, which was published on the Official Gazette dated April 30, 2014 and numbered 28987. The Council of Ministers has been lastly authorized
to determine the transfer date in accordance with the last amendment in the first paragraph of the 20th provisional article of Law No.5510 implemented by the Law No. 6645
on Amendment of the “Occupational Health and Safety Law and Other Laws and Decree Laws” published in the Official Gazette dated April 23, 2015, and numbered 29335.
This authority was transferred to the President with the delegated legislation No.703 which was published in the repetitive Official Gazette No. 30473 dated July 9, 2018.
On the other hand, the application made on 19 June 2008 by the Republican People’s Party to the Constitutional Court for the annulment and motion for stay of some articles,
including the first paragraph of the provisional article 20 of the Law, which covers provisions on transfers, was rejected in accordance with the decision taken at the meeting of
the afore-mentioned court on 30 March 2011.
The aforementioned Law also states that;
Through a commission constituted by the attendance of one representative separately from the Social Security Institution, Ministry of Finance, Turkish Treasury, State
Planning Organization, Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency, Savings Deposit Insurance Fund, one from each pension fund, and one representative from the
organization employing pension fund contributors, related to the transferred persons, the cash value of the liabilities of the pension fund as of the transfer date will be
calculated by considering their income and expenses in terms of the lines of insurance within the context of the related Law, and technical interest rate of 9.8% will be used
in the actuarial calculation of the value in cash,
And that after the transfer of the pension fund contributors, the ones who receive salaries or income from these funds and their rightful beneficiaries to the Social Security
Institution, these persons’ uncovered social rights and payments,
despite being included in the trust indenture that they are subject to, will be continued to be covered by the pension funds and the employers of pension fund contributors.
In line with the new law, the Bank obtained a technical actuarial valuation report from the licensed actuary for the year ended December 31, 2023. In related period’s
financial statements, Bank provided full provision for the total amount of technical and actual deficit stated in the actuarial report of the aforementioned period. The actuarial
assumptions used in the related actuarial report are given in Section Five Note II-i-4.1.
On the other hand, within the scope of the temporary article added to the Social Insurance and General Health Insurance Law No. 5510 dated 31.5.2006 by Law No. 7438
published in the Official Gazette No. 32121 dated 01.03.2023, those who request to receive a pension after the effective date of the relevant article are subject to the relevant
regulations. Accordingly, those who will be granted old-age or retirement pensions are given the opportunity to benefit from old-age and retirement pensions if they meet other
conditions other than age in the said provisions.
İşbank Members’ Supplementary Pension Fund has been founded to provide beneficiaries with additional social security and solidarity rights to compulsory social security
benefits as per the provisions of the Turkish Commercial Code and Turkish Civil Code.
XVIII. Taxation
1. Corporate Tax:
Pursuant to the amendment made in Article 32 of the Corporate Tax Law with the Law No. 7394, the corporate tax rate has been determined as 25%, starting from the
declarations that must be submitted as of 01.07.2022 and being valid for the corporate earnings for the taxation period starting from 01.01.2022. On the other hand, the
Law No. 7456 published in the Official Gazette No. 32249 dated 15.07.2023 and the Corporate Tax Law No. 32. in accordance with the amendment made to the article, the
corporate tax rate has been determined as 30% starting from the returns that must be submitted as of 01.10.2023 and applying to corporate earnings of institutions for the
year 2023 and subsequent taxation periods. The Corporate Tax rate valid for the period of December 31, 2023, is 30%.
As per the Corporate Tax law, temporary tax is calculated and in the first nine months of the year paid quarterly in line with the principles of the Income Tax Law and at the
corporate tax rate. The temporary tax payments are deducted from the current period’s corporate tax.
Tax expense consists of current tax and deferred tax. The current tax liability is calculated over the portion of the period subject to taxation. The taxable profit differs from the
profit stated in the income statement, as the income and expense items that can be taxable or deductible at other periods, and items that are not taxable or deductible are
excluded. The current tax amounts payable is netted off with prepaid tax amounts and presented on the financial statements.
Within the framework of the Corporate Tax Law numbered 5520, 75% of the gains on the sale of the participation shares, which were held in the assets for a minimum of 2
whole years and 75% of the gains on the sale of immovable are exempt from tax provided that they are added to the capital as set forth by the Law or that they are kept in a
special fund under liabilities for a period of 5 years. However, in accordance with Article 89 / a of the Law No. 7061 and Article 5.1.e and Article 5.1.f of the Corporate Tax Law,
which were published in the Official Gazette dated December 5, 2017 and numbered 30261, the 75% applied in terms of immovable sales mentioned above has been reduced
to 50% which is effective from the date of publication of the Law.
On the other hand, with the Law No. 7456 published in the Official Gazette dated 15.07.2023 and numbered 32249, the exception for 50% of the income arising from the
sale of immovables in Article 5.1.e of the Corporate Tax Law has been abolished. However, pursuant to the temporary article 16 added to the Corporate Tax Law with the 22nd
article of the Law No. 7456, the pre-amendment provisions will be taken into consideration for the immovables included in the assets of the institutions before 15.07.2023. The
50% rate will be applied as 25% for the real estate sales earnings to be made after 15.07.2023.
In accordance with the provision of Article 298/A of the Tax Procedure Law (TPL), the necessary conditions for inflation adjustment in the calculation of corporate tax as of the
end of the 2021 calendar year have been met. However, the application of inflation adjustment in the calculation of corporate tax was postponed to 2023 with the regulation
made with the “Law on the Amendment of the Tax Procedure Law and the Corporate Tax Law” numbered 7352 published in the Official Gazette dated 29.01.2022 and
numbered 31734. Accordingly, VUK (Tax Procedure Law) financial statements for the 2021, 2022 and 2023 accounting periods, including the provisional tax periods, were
not subjected to inflation adjustment, and the 2023 accounting period will not be subject to inflation adjustment as of the temporary tax periods will be subject to inflation
adjustment regardless.
VUK Temporary 33. profit / loss differences arising from the inflation adjustment made on 31.12.2023 in accordance with the article and which must be shown in the profit/
loss accounts for previous years do not affect the corporate tax base. However, Some Laws and Decrees with the Force of Law No. 7491 regulate by Law on Amendments to
Decrees with the Force of Law, the difference in profit / loss caused by the inflation adjustment that Banks will make in the 2024 and 2025 accounting periods, including the
temporary tax periods, the difference in profit / loss caused by the inflation adjustment that Banks will make in the 2024 and 2025 accounting periods, the determination of
Banks’ 2024 and 2025 accounting earnings.
With the arrangements in TPL Repeated 298 (Ç) and Provisional Article 32, taxpayers have been given the opportunity of revaluation within the scope defined within the
framework of the General Communiqué of TPL No. 537. In this framework, it is possible for taxpayers who want to benefit from the revaluation application by enabling
the revaluation of depreciable economic assets and immovables. The Bank revalues some of its depreciable assets that meet the relevant criteria within the scope of the
opportunities provided.
2. Deferred Tax:
Deferred tax asset or liability is determined by calculating the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial
statements and the amounts considered in the legal tax base account, by taking the legal tax rates into account. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all
taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary
differences can be utilized. Free provisions that are allocated for possible future risks are not subject to deferred tax calculation. No tax assets or liabilities are recognized for
the temporary timing difference that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit and that arises from the initial recognition in the balance sheet, of assets and
liabilities, other than the goodwill and mergers. The Bank calculates deferred tax for the provisions allocated for Stage 1 and Stage 2 expected credit loss.
The carrying values of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be
available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax is measured at enacted tax rates prevailing in the period or about to be enacted when the assets are realized or liabilities are settled, and the tax is recognized as
income or expense in the income statement. Nonetheless, if the deferred tax is related to assets directly associated with the equity in the same or different period, it is directly
recognized in the equity accounts.

3. Tax Practices in the Countries that Foreign Branches Operate:
Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC)
In accordance with TRNC tax legislation, 15% income tax is accrued on the remaining tax base after 10% corporate tax is deducted from corporate income. The tax bases
for companies are determined by adding the expenses that cannot be deducted according to TRNC regulations, to commercial gains and by subtracting exemptions and
deductions from commercial gains. Income tax is paid in June, and corporate tax payment is made in two equal installments, in May and in October. On the other hand,
withholding tax is paid in TRNC over interest income and similar gains of the companies. The related withholding tax payments and provisional tax paid every quarter during
the year are deducted from corporate tax payable and the difference between withholding and provisional tax amounts and corporate tax payable is discounted from income
tax provided that the withholding tax and paid provisional tax amounts are higher than corporate tax amount.
England
Corporate earnings in the UK are subject to corporation tax at a rate of 19%.however, as of April 1, 2023, the corporate tax rate for companies with commercial profits over GBP
250 thousand has been set at 25%. The relevant rate is applied to the tax base that is determined by adding the expenses that cannot be deducted due to the regulations, to
commercial gains and by subtracting exemptions and deductions from commercial gains. In other respect, if the tax base calculated in accordance with the country legislation
is within a certain range, the temporary corporate tax is paid in July, October of the relevant year and in January and April of the following year; If it is over a certain amount, it is
paid in 4 installments in March, June, September and December of the relevant year. The corporate tax amount must be finalized and paid by the end of September of the year
following the year of profit. In case the corporate tax payable as a result of the calculation is below the temporary taxes paid, the difference amount is deducted later or paid
back to the Branch by the authority.
Bahrain
Banks in Bahrain are not subject to tax according to the regulations of the country.
The Republic of Iraq (Iraq)
The corporate tax rate in Iraq is 15%, and the corporate tax is paid on a consolidated basis to the tax office of the foreign bank’s central branch. The first branch established
in Iraq is considered as the central branch. Foreign bank branches whose central branch is within the boundaries of the Central Government must submit their consolidated
financial statements to the relevant tax office by the end of May of the following year, and branches of foreign banks whose central branch is within the boundaries of the
Northern Iraq Regional Government by the end of June of the following year at the latest and must pay the tax. Northern Iraq Regional Government tax offices can accrue fixed
taxes other than the specified rate and can postpone the last payment period.
Kosovo
Corporate earnings are subject to income tax rate of 10% according to the Kosovo legislation. This ratio is applied to the tax base that will be calculated as a result of the
implementation of exemptions, deductions, addition of disallowable expenses, to the corporate income and that are calculated in accordance with the tax laws. Tax has to be
paid in advance until April, July, October and the 15th day of January of the following year by four installments. If those prepaid taxes are lower than the final corporate tax, the
difference is paid until the end of March of the following year, in case of a claim made by the company, if it is higher, then the difference is returned to the institution by the tax
authorities after the inspection conducted by those institutions.
4. Transfer Pricing:
Transfer pricing is regulated through Article 13 of Corporate Tax Law titled “Transfer Pricing through Camouflage of Earnings”. Detailed information for the practice regarding the
subject is found in the “General Communiqué Regarding Camouflage of Earnings through Transfer Pricing”.
According to the aforementioned regulations, in the case of making purchase or sales of goods or services with relevant persons/corporations at a price that is determined
against “arm’s length principle”, the gain is considered to be distributed implicitly through transfer pricing and such distribution of gains is not subject to deductions according
to article 11 of Corporate Tax Law in means of corporate tax.
XIX. Borrowings
The Bank, whenever required, generates funds from individuals and institutions residing domestically and abroad by approaching the borrowing instruments in the form of
syndication, securitization, collateralized borrowing and issue of bonds/bills. Such transactions are at first carried at acquisition cost, and in the following periods they are
valued at amortized cost measured by using the effective interest rate method.
XX.
Equity Shares and Their Issuance
Share issuance related to costs is recognized as expenses.
Dividend income related with the equity shares are determined by the General Assembly of the Shareholders.
Weighted average number of shares outstanding is taken into account in the calculation of earnings per share. In case the number of shares increases by way of bonus issues
as a result of the capital increases made by using the internal sources, the calculation of earnings per share is made by adjusting the weighted average number of shares,
which were previously calculated as at the comparable periods. The adjustment means that the number of shares used in calculation is taken into consideration as if the bonus
issue occurred at the beginning of the comparable period. In case such changes in the number of shares occur after the balance sheet date, but before the ratification of the
financial statements to be published, the calculation of earnings per share are based on the number of new shares. The Bank’s earnings per share calculations taking place in
the income statement are as follows:
Profit distributable to shareholders
Weighted average number of share certificates
(Thousand figure)
Earnings per share – (in full TL)

XXII. Government Incentives
There are no government incentives utilized by the Bank, during the current or prior accounting periods.

which conducts business operations where it can gain revenues and make expenditures (including the revenues and expenses related to the transactions made with the
other parts of the enterprise),

II.
Explanations on Credit Risk
Credit risk is defined as the possibility of incurring loss where the counterparty in a transaction, partially or completely fails to meet its contractual obligations in due time in an
agreement with the Bank.
The Bank’s position against the credit risk limits defined by the current legislation is monitored by the Board. Within this framework, loans extended to Risk Groups and
the Bank’s Risk Group, including the Bank; loans in high amounts and limitations regarding the shares in participations are monitored according to the limits determined in
connection with the size of the shareholders’ equity.
Credit risk limits of customers are determined depending on the financial situation and loan requirements of the borrowers, in strict compliance with the relevant banking
legislation, within the framework of loan authorization limits of Branches, Regional Offices, Loan Divisions, the Deputy Chief Executives responsible for loans, the CEO,
the Credit Committee and Board of Directors. These limits may be changed as may be deemed necessary by the Bank. Moreover, all commercial credit limits are revised
periodically, provided that each period does not exceed a year. Furthermore, the borrowers and borrower groups forming a large proportion of the overall placement are subject
to risk limits in order to provide further minimization of potential risk.
The geographical distribution of borrowers is consistent with the concentration of industrial and commercial activities in Turkey.
The distribution of borrowers by sector is monitored closely for each period and sectoral risk limits have been determined to prevent concentration of risk in sectoral sense.
The credit-worthiness of customers is monitored on a consistent basis by using company rating and scoring models specially developed for this purpose, and the audit of
statements of account received is assured to have been made in accordance with the provisions as stipulated by the relevant legislation.
Utmost importance is given to ensure that loans are furnished with collaterals. Allocation decision, by the definition of credit risk, is not based on the assumption of collaterals
can be liquidized. Most of the loans extended are collateralized by taking real estate, movable or commercial enterprise under pledge, promissory notes and other liquid assets
as collateral, or by acceptance of bank letters of guarantee and individual or corporate guarantees. Jurisdictional applicability of collaterals in default, time required to convert
to money and ability to maintain expected values are taken into consideration from the beginning of the credit allocation process. Most of the loans are collateralized by the
receipt of real estate and securities pledge, commercial enterprise pledge, exchange notes and other liquid securities receivables, bank letters of guarantees and surety of other
persons and institutions. It is an important element of the credit policy that disinclude concentration on collaterals.
Non-performing and impaired loans has been classified in accordance with the “TFRS 9-Financial Instruments” and BRSA’s “Regulation on Procedures and Principles for
Classification of Loans and Provisions to be set aside”. The detailed descriptions of these methods correspond with accounting practices, are included in Section Three Note
VIII.
Credit risk is the risk reduction effects without taking into consideration the total amount of exposures after offsetting transactions with different risk classes according to the

Explanations on Currency Risk
The exposed currency risk of the Bank is result of the difference between the assets denominated in and indexed to foreign currencies and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies. Furthermore, parity fluctuations of different foreign currencies are another element of the currency risk.
The currency risk is managed by the internal currency risk limits which are established as a part of the Bank’s risk policies. The Assets and Liabilities Management Committee
and the Assets and Liabilities Management Unit meet regularly to take the necessary decisions for hedging exchange rate and parity risks within the framework of the limits
determined by the “Net Foreign Currency Overall Position/Shareholders’ Equity” Standard Ratio which is a part of the legal requirement and the internal currency risk limits
specified by the Board of Directors. Foreign exchange risk management decisions are strictly applied.
In measuring currency risk, both the Standard Method and the Value at Risk Model (VAR) and Expected Shortfall are used as applied in the statutory reporting.
Measurements made within the scope of the Standard Method are carried out on a monthly basis and form the basis of determining the capital requirement for hedging
currency risk.
Risk measurements made within the context of the VAR are practiced on a daily basis using the historical and Monte Carlo simulation methods. Scenario analyses are
conducted to support the calculations made within the VAR context. Expected loss calculations are also carried out daily.
The results of the measurements made on currency risk are reported to the Key Management and the risks are closely monitored by taking into account the market and the
economic conditions.
The Bank’s foreign currency purchase rates at the date of balance sheet and for the last five working days of the period announced by the Bank in TL are as
follows:

Explanations on Interest Rate Risk
a.
Interest rate sensitivity of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items (Based on time remaining to repricing date):
Interest rate risk is defined as the impairment in the value of the Bank’s interest sensitive Asset, liabilities and off-balance sheet items due to interest rate fluctuations. A method
which takes into consideration the effect of standard interest shocks on the economic values of the Bank’s on, and off-balance sheet interest sensitive accounts is used
for measuring the interest rate risk arising from the banking accounts, whereas the interest rate risk related to interest sensitive financial instruments followed under trading
accounts is assessed within the scope of market risk.
Potential effects of interest rate risk on the Bank’s assets and liabilities, market developments, the general economic environment and expectations are regularly followed in
meetings of the Asset-Liability Management Committee, where further measures to reduce risk are taken when necessary.
The Bank’s on and off-balance sheet interest sensitive accounts other than the assets and liabilities exposed to market risk are monitored and controlled by the limits on
the ratio of structural interest rate risk to equity and tier 1 capital determined by the Board within the scope of “Asset-Liability Management Risk Policy”. Moreover, scenario
analyses formed in line with the average maturity gaps and the historical data and expectations are also used in the management of the related risk.
In addition, the impact of changes in interest rates on the Bank’s net interest income is regularly analyzed. Within this framework, the limit on the ratio of change in net interest
income to the capital is expected to occur under various scenarios are monitored and regularly reported to senior management.
Interest rate sensitivity
In this part, the sensitivity of the Bank’s assets and liabilities to the interest rates has been analyzed assuming that the year-end balance figures were the same throughout the
year. Mentioned analysis shows how the FC and TL changes in interest rates by one point during the one-year period affect the Bank’s income accounts and shareholders’
equity under the assumption maturity structure and balances are remain the same all year round at the end of the year.
During the measurement of the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity, the profit/loss on the asset and liability items that are evaluated with market value are determined by adding to/
deducting from the difference between the expectancy value of the portfolio after one year in case there is no change in interest rates and the value of the portfolio one year
later, which is measured after the interest shock, the interest income to be additionally earned/to be deprived of during the one year period due to the renewal or repricing of the
related portfolio at the interest rates formed after the interest shock.
On the other hand, in the profit/loss calculation of assets and liabilities that are not evaluated by the current market prices, it is assumed that assets and liabilities with fixed
interest rates will be renewed at maturity date and the assets and liabilities having variable interest rates will be renewed at the end of repricing period with the market interest
rates generated after the interest shock.
Within this context, ceteris paribus, the possible changes that may occur in the Bank’s profit and shareholders’ equity in case of 100 basis point increase/decrease in TL and FC
interest rates on the reporting day are given below:

(*) Changes in interest rates is calculated assuming that the expectations reflected in inflation. The effects on the profit/loss and shareholders’ equity are stated with their before tax values.
(**) The effect on the profit/loss is mainly arising from the fact that the average maturity of the Bank’s fixed rate liabilities is shorter than the average maturity of its fixed rate assets.

Liquidity risk may occur as a result of funding long-term assets with short-term liabilities; The Bank’s liquidity is managed by the Asset-Liability Management Committee in
accordance with the business strategies, legal requirements, current market conditions and expectations regarding the economic and financial conjuncture.
The Bank’s principal source of funding is deposits. Although the average maturity of depo
Bank’s wide network of branches and stable core deposit base are its most important safeguards of funding. Additionally, the Bank borrows medium and long-term funds from
institutions abroad. Concentration limits are generally used in deposit and non-deposit borrowings in order to prevent adverse effects of concentrations in the liquidity risk
profile of the Bank.
sits is shorter than that assets as a result of the market conditions, the
In order to meet the liquidity requirements that may arise from market fluctuations, considerable attention is paid to the need to preserve liquidity and efforts in this respect
are supported by projections of Turkish Lira and Foreign Currency (FC) cash flows. The term structure of TL and FC deposits, their costs and amounts are monitored on
a daily basis. During these studies historical events and future expectations are taken into account as well. Based upon cash flow projections, prices are differentiated for
different maturities and measures are taken accordingly to meet liquidity requirements. Moreover, potential alternative sources of liquidity are determined to be used in case of
extraordinary circumstances.
The liquidity risk exposure of the Bank has to be within the risk capacity limits which are prescribed by the legislation and the Bank’s risk appetite defined in its business
strategy. It is essential for the Bank to have an adequate level of unencumbered liquid asset stock which can be sold or pledged, in case a large amount of reduction in liquidity
sources occurs. The level of liquid asset buffer is determined in accordance with the liquidity risk tolerance which is set by the Board of Directors. Asset-Liability Management
Committee is responsible for monitoring the liquidity position, determining appropriate sources of funds and deciding the maturity structure in accordance with the limits which
are set by the Board of Directors.
The Treasury Division is responsible for monitoring the liquidity risk, in accordance with the Asset and Liability Management Risk Policy limits, objectives set out in the business
plan and the decisions taken at the meetings of Asset-Liability Management Committee. The Treasury Division is also responsible for making liquidity projections and taking
necessary precautions to reduce liquidity risk, by using the results of stress testing and scenario analysis. Within this scope, Treasury Division is monitoring the Turkish Lira
(TL) and foreign currency (FC) liquidity position instantly and prospectively based on the information provided from the branches, business units and IT infrastructure of the
Bank. The assessment of long-term borrowing opportunities is carried out regularly in order to balance the cash inflows and outflows and to mitigate the liquidity risk. The Bank
creates liquidity through repurchase agreements and secured borrowings based on the high quality liquid asset portfolio, through securitization and other structured finance
products which are created from the asset pools like credit card receivables and retail loans.
The Bank applies liquidity stress tests to measure liquidity risk. In this approach, in liquidity stress scenarios in which parameters are determined by the Board of Directors, the
ability of the Bank’s liquid assets’ in covering cash outflows within a one-month horizon has been described. Liquidity adequacy limits for TL and FC are determined by Board
of Directors, based on the liquidity requirements and risk tolerance of the Bank. The liquidity risk is measured by the Risk Management Division and results are reported to the
related executive functions, senior management and Board of Directors.
It is essential for the Bank to monitor the liquidity position and funding strategy continuously. In case of a liquidity crisis that may arise from unfavorable market conditions,
extraordinary macroeconomic situations and other reasons which are beyond the control of the Bank, “Emergency Action and Funding Plan” is expected to be commissioned.
In that case, related committees have to report the precautions taken and their results to the Board of Directors through Audit Committee.

(*) The simple arithmetic average calculated for the last three months of the weekly simple arithmetic average.
Compared to the prior quarter, in the fourth quarter of 2023, the total liquidity coverage ratio increased due to the increase in the total high-quality asset stock, and foreign
currency liquidity coverage ratio decreased due to the increase in net cash outflows. Total and Foreign Currency liquidity coverage ratios are continuing to hover far above the
minimum level (respectively 100% and 80%) pursuant to legal legislations.
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio which has been introduced to ensure banks to preserve sufficient stock of high-quality assets to meet their net cash outflows that may occur
in the short term is calculated as per the Communiqué on “Measurement and Assessment of the Liquidity Coverage Ratio of Banks’ published by BRSA. The ratio is directly
affected by the level of unencumbered high-quality assets which can be liquidated at any time and net cash inflows and outflows arising from the Bank’s assets, liabilities and
off-balance sheet transactions.
The Bank’s high quality liquid asset stock primarily consists of cash, the accounts held at CBRT and unencumbered government bonds which are issued by Turkish Treasury.
The Bank’s principal source of funding is deposits. In terms of non-deposit borrowing, funds received from repurchase agreements, marketable securities issued, and funds
borrowed from financial institutions are among the most significant funding sources of the Bank. In order to manage liquidity effectively, concentration of liquidity sources
and usages should be avoided. Due to the strong and stable core deposit base of the Bank, deposits are received from a diversified customer portfolio. In addition, in order to
provide diversification in liquidity sources and usages, liquidity concentration limits are used effectively. Total amount of funds borrowed from a single counterparty, or a risk
group is closely and instantaneously monitored, taking liquidity concentration limits into account. In addition to these, the cumulative liquidity deficits that the Bank is exposed
to in various maturity tranches are periodically monitored and reported to the senior management.
Cash flows of derivatives that will take place within 30 days are taken into account in calculation of liquidity coverage ratio. Cash outflows of derivatives that arise from margin
obligations, are reflected to the results in accordance with the methodology articulated in the related legislation.
Liquidity risk of the Bank, its foreign branches and subsidiaries that are to be consolidated are managed within the regulatory limits and in accordance with the group strategies.
For the purposes of effectiveness and sustainability of liquidity management, funding sources of group companies and funding diversification opportunities in terms of
markets, instruments and tenor are evaluated and liquidity position of the group companies are monitored continuously by the Bank.

Strike prices, quotations, market prices determined by the CBRT and published in the Official Gazette and the values calculated by using alternative models, are taken as the
basis in the fair value determination of Financial Assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
When the prices of the financial assets measured at amortized cost cannot be measured in an active market, fair values are not deemed to be reliably determined and
amortized cost, calculated by the internal rate of return method, are taken into account as the fair values.
Fair values of banks, loans granted, deposits and funds borrowed from other financial institutions and marketable securities are calculated by discounting the amounts in each
maturity bracket formed according to repricing periods, using the rate corresponding to relevant maturity bracket in the discount curves based on current market conditions.

Information on fair value measurements recognized in the financial statements
a. General Information on Risk Management Approach and Risk Weighted Amounts
“TFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement” standard requires the items, which are recognized in the balance sheet at their fair values to be shown in the notes by being classified
within a range. According to this, the related financial instruments are classified into three levels in such a way that they will express the significance of the data used in fair
value measurements. At the first level, there are financial instruments, whose fair values are determined according to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities, at the second level, there are financial instruments, whose fair values are determined by directly or indirectly observable market data, and at the third level, there are
financial instruments, whose fair values are determined by the data, which are not based on observable market data. The financial assets, which are recognized in the balance
sheet at their values, are shown below as classified according to the aforementioned principles of ranking.

a.1. The Bank’s risk management approach
Bank is exposed to financial and non-financial risks which are required to be analyzed, monitored, and reported within specific risk management principles of the Bank and with
the perspective of risk management. The risk management process is organized within the framework of risk management and serves the creation of a common risk culture
in corporate level, which brings “corporate governance” to forefront, the independence of the internal audit and monitoring units from the business units that undertake risks is
established risk is defined in accordance with international regulations and in this context measurement, analysis, monitoring, reporting, and control functions are carried.
Risk management process and the functions involved in the process is one of the primary responsibilities of the Board of Directors. The Risk Committee operates to prepare
the Bank’s risk management strategies and policies, submit them to the Board of Directors for approval and monitor the implementations. Evaluating the capital adequacy
and observing the active use of results in Bank’s planning and decision-making processes, establishing and monitoring limits related to main risks, monitoring the activities of
risk management (determining, defining, measuring, evaluating and managing risk) and monitoring results and methods in measuring risk are also under their authority and
responsibility of the Committee. Committee reports activity results to the Board of Directors through Audit Committee.
The Operational Risk Committee is engaged in determining strategies and policies for the management of operational risks that the Bank may be exposed to, developing an
operational risk management framework, and strengthening the governance model for operational risks. The Committee reports the results of its activities to the Board of
Directors through the Audit Committee.
The Risk Management Department, which reports to the Board of Directors of the Parent Bank through the Internal Systems Manager; organized as Asset-Liability
Management Unit, Credit Risk Management Unit, Credit Risk Analytics and Control Unit, Operational Risk and Affiliate Risk Unit, Model Risk and Validation Unit, Internal Capital
Assessment Process and Economic Capital Unit.
The Bank’s risk management process is carried out within the framework of risk policies which are issued by the Board of the Directors via Internal Systems Manager by
taking the recommendations of the Risk Management Department into account and which include the written standards that are implemented by the business units. These
policies which are entered into force in line with the international practices are general standards which contain organization and scope of the risk management function, risk
measurement policies, duties and responsibilities of the risk management group, procedures for determining risk limits, ways to eliminate limit violations, compulsory approvals,
and confirmations to be given in a variety of events and situations.
In the aforementioned risk policies, the Bank’s risk appetite framework is defined as a set of approaches that determine the risk capacity, the risk appetite, the risk tolerance
and that include the policies, procedures, controls and systems for reporting and monitoring of the limits set for the Bank’s risk profile and the indicators in the framework.
The Bank’s risk appetite framework, which is formed in accordance with the above-mentioned factors and entered into force with the Board of Directors approval, includes
indicators that are aligned with the business plan, the strategic programme, capital and remuneration planning and comparable on a business unit level to the extent possible.
The compliance to the limits within the framework is periodically monitored and the realization of the risk appetite indicators are reported to the Risk Committee and the Boards
on a monthly basis.
In order to build a strong corporate culture that has a risk management perspective, the Bank has policies, processes, systems and a control system that is integrated with
the Bank’s risk management system to effectively control the bank’s risk management system is available. All employees of the Bank essentially perform their duties in a
responsible manner that aims to develop controls to reduce or eliminate the probability of the Bank to incur losses related to the operational risks. In the process risk analysis
studies, risks and the related controls are evaluated together with employees performing the relevant process in a holistic approach. Procedures to be followed in case of a
risk threshold breach and risk definitions are given in the risk politics. Code of conducts, operation manuals, the sharing of duties between business units and risk units are
announced to the Bank’s staff.
The risk reports that analyse the results reached by the Bank and the comprehensive risk assessment and comparison of these results with a risk management perspective are
periodically submitted to the Risk Committee and to the Board through the Audit Committee. The content of the above mentioned reports could be summarised as follows:
Capital adequacy ratio, the progression of the components of this ratio and the issues that affect the aforementioned ratio,
Monitoring the compliance status of the limits set by the Board of Directors as a part of the risk appetite framework and based on the components of the main risk types,
In addition to the assessment of the loan portfolio on the basis of counterparties and loan types, monitoring of the portfolio as a whole according to parameters such as
maturity, sector, geography, risk ratings, arrears, defaults,
Measuring the assets and liabilities management risk, and reporting of measurement results,
Monitoring of all risks assessed in the context of operational risk within the scope of non-financial risks, including operational risk, loss events that occurred in the Bank and
risk indicators,
Testing the measurement results in terms of completeness and reliability,
Analysing the level of risk indicators under various stress scenarios,
Examining various concentration indicators and the course followed by these indicators

Notes To The Unconsolidated Financial Statements For The Year Ended
December 31, 2023
As per the communique on “Bank’s Internal Systems and Internal Capital Adequacy and Assessment Process” and “Guidelines for Stress Testing of Banks to Use in Capital and
Liquidity Planning”, stress tests are conducted for the entire risks that the Bank is exposed to and on the basis of significant risk categories. As a part of the holistic stress tests,
risk appetite, capital planning, strategic plan and budget, action plans for emergencies and unexpected situations related to miscellaneous risks and other issues considered as
significant are taken into consideration. In the holistic and individual stress test processes carried out by the Bank, the most advanced approaches used in risk measurement
in the Bank are used as much as possible, together with the methods that are the basis of legal reporting (standard approaches for credit and market risk, basic indicator
approach for operational risk).
In the stress tests, both the first pillar risks (credit risk, market risk, operational risk) in scope of the regulatory framework and all the other risks that the Bank is exposed to
independent of the regulatory framework are taken into account in a holistic perspective. In determining the course of capital adequacy under various scenarios during the
planning horizon, the actions that the Bank will take in case of stress conditions and the impact of the diversified growth strategies of business units on the capital adequacy
and the balance sheet are considered.
The levels at which the capital adequacy ratio of the Bank will reach are estimated and monitored with stress tests. In addition, reverse stress tests are carried out regularly, by
determining the problematic loan growth rate and increase in exchange rates, which will cause the Bank’s capital adequacy to fall within the legal limits.
The scope and content of the Bank’s risk management system in terms of the main risk types are listed below. Bank’s risk mitigation strategies and processes for the
assessment of their effectiveness are given in Fourth Section II No. “Explanations on Credit Risk” under the Section IV, XI-f.1 notes. No. “The Public Disclosure of Qualitative
Information Related to the Market Risk” mentioned in the section.
Credit risk
Credit risk is defined as the risk of the failure to comply with the requirements or failing to fulfill its obligations partially or totally of the counter side of the transaction contract
with the Bank. The methodology and responsibilities of the credit risk management, controlling and monitoring and the framework of credit risk limitations specified with the
credit risk policy.
The Bank defines measures and manages credit risk of the all products and activities. Board of Directors review the Bank’s credit risk policies and credit risk strategy on an
annual basis as a minimum. Top Management is responsible for the implementation of credit risk policies which are approved by Board of Directors.
As a result of loans and credit risks analysis all findings are reported to Board of Directors and Top Management on a regular basis. In addition to transaction and company-
based credit risk assessment process, monitoring of credit risk also refers to an approach with monitoring and managing the credit as a whole maturity, sector, security,
geography, currency, credit type and credit rating.
In the Bank’s credit risk management, along the limits as required by legal regulations, the Bank utilizes the risk limits to undertake the maximum credit risk within risk groups or
sectors that the Board of Directors determines. These limits are determined such a way that prevents risk concentration on particular sectors. In case of exceeding the limits,
the excess and its reasons are immediately reported to the Risk Committee and Board of Directors. The actions to be taken to remedy the excess and the time to eliminate
the excess are concluded under the authority of the Board of Directors. The results of the controls regarding the excess of the risk limits and the evaluations of these limits are
presented by Internal Audit and Risk Management Group to Top Management and Board of Directors.
The Bank uses credit decision support systems which are created for the purpose of credit risk management, lending decisions, controlling the credit process and credit
provisioning. The consistency of the credit decision support systems with the structure of the Bank’s activities, size and complexity is examined continuously by internal
systems. Credit decision support systems contain the Risk Committee assessment and approval of Board of Directors.
Asset and Liability Management Risk
Asset-liability management risk defined as the risk of Bank’s incurring loss due to managing all financial risks that are inflicted from the Bank’s assets, liabilities and off-balance
sheet transactions, ineffectively. Trading book portfolio’s market risk, structural interest rate risk and liquidity risk of the banking portfolio; are considered within the scope of the
asset liability management.
Complying the established risk limits and being at the limits that stipulated by the legislation are the primary priority of Asset-liability management risk. Risk limits are
determined by the Board of Directors by taking into consideration of the Group’s liquidity, target income level and general expectations about changes in risk factors.
Board of Directors and the Audit Committee are responsible for following the Bank’s capital is used optimally; for this purpose, checking the status against risk limits and
providing the necessary actions are taken.
Asset and Liability Management Committee is responsible for managing the Asset and Liability risk within the framework of operating principles that are involved in the risk
appetite and risk limits are set by the Board of Directors in accordance with the policy statement.
Asset and liability management processes and compliance with the provisions of the policy are controlled and audited by the internal audit system. The execution of the audit,
reporting the audit results, action plans for the elimination of errors and gaps identified as a result of inspections regarding the fulfillment of the principles, are determined by the
Board of Directors.
Operational Risk
Operational risk is defined as “the possibility of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events, including legal risk”.
Studies consisted of and are formed of occur by execution of identification, definition, measurement, analysis, monitoring of operational risk, providing and reporting the
necessary control related to monitoring the progress of our country and the world, the development of techniques and methods, necessary legal reporting, notification and
conduct of follow-up transactions. Studies on the subject are conducted by the Department of Risk Management.
Operational risks that arise due to the activities are defined in “Bank Risk Catalogue” and classified in respect of species. Bank Risk Catalogue is kind of the fundamental
document that used for identification and classification of all at the risk that may be encountered. It is updated in line with the changes in the nature of the processes and
activities.
Qualitative and quantitative methods are used in a combination for measurement and evaluation of the operational risks. In this process, information use that obtained
from “Impact-Probability Analysis”, “Missing Event Data Analysis”, “Risk Indicators”, “Scenario Analysis”, “Top-Down Risk Assessment”, “Internal Model” methods. Methods
prescribed by legal regulations are applied as minimum in determining the capital requirement level for the operating risk.
Operational Risk Committee, the management of operational risks that the bank may be exposed for the determination of policies and strategies, the development of an
operational risk management framework and operational risks include activities with the aim of strengthening the governance model. The Committee works in cooperation with
the Risk Committee and reports the results of its activities to the Board of Directors through the Audit Committee.
All risks are assessed in the context of operational risk, loss events and the risk indicators same as operational risks that occurred in the Bank, are monitored on a regular basis
by the Department of Risk Management and reported periodically to the Risk Committee, Operational Risk Committee, and the Board of Directors.
Model Risk Management and Validation Operations
Model risk is the risk of financial losses and/or loss of reputation that the Bank may be exposed to due to errors and/or malfunctions that occur during the creation,
implementation or use of models used in its activities. In order to address the model risk in a holistic manner, the model definition, model life cycle and triple line of defense
structure and the duties and responsibilities of all functions of the Bank in this structure are defined in the model risk management policy.
Model risk management and validation activities in the second line of defense of the triple line of defense structure; creating the model inventory, determining and approving

Directors.
Risk measurement models are validated at least once a year according to international standards. Within the scope of validation, activities are carried out to test the
performance and validity of models with statistical methods, to examine the quality of the data used in the model development phase and the conceptual soundness of the
selected methods, and to evaluate the health of the processes created for the use of the models. The results of the validation activities are reported to the Risk Committee,
Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

Bank’s methods for determining provision amounts and classification of its loans are mentioned in the Section Three Note VIII.
(*) Indemnified non-cash loans or non-cash loans not converted into cash, of the firms which are followed under “Non-performing Loans” accounts are not included in the table.
(*) According to the “Regulation on Measurement and Evaluation of Capital Adequacy of Banks”, it is the counterparty credit risk amount calculated for repo style transactions.
(**) The source of the difference is collaterals of exposures to which credit risk mitigation is applied in the calculation of capital adequacy.
The Bank intends to use fair value measurement methods in accordance with TFRS 13 using valuation methodologies based primarily on observable data. In this context,
market prices, quoted prices, prices set by CBRT and published in official gazette and internal pricing models are also utilized in the fair value measurement of the financial
assets in the form of securities. Valuation models that use market data such as interest rates, efficiency curves, currency, and volatility curves are used as the basis for derivative
transactions while third party valuation services are also available.
The accuracy of the market prices, data and / or model inputs used in valuation under the independent price validation process is regularly checked and the suitability of the
results provided by the third-party pricing service is tested at regular intervals.

solvency of customer. Restructuring in non-performing loans are generally made by establishing a new redemption plan within the context of a protocol aiming the collection of
those receivables whose redemption plan are not valid because of delinquency previously.
The breakdown of receivables in terms of geographic regions, sectors and remaining maturities are represented in “Explanations on Credit Risk” in the Section Four Notes II.
On the basis of sector-based provisions for receivables are presented in the footnote numbered Section Four II-16. The amounts of the receivables that are set aside for the

Explanations on Counterparty credit risk
d.1. Qualitative Explanations on Counterparty credit risk
The counterparty credit risk that the Bank is exposed to be managed within the framework of general limit allocation and credit risk mitigation that are outlined in the Credit
Risk Policy of the Bank. In setting general credit limits, the counterparty credit risks of customers as well as their cash and noncash risks are taken into account with a holistic
view. Moreover, the total position of the transactions which create counterparty credit risk is also monitored under a separate risk limit.
The counterparty credit risk, which stems from derivatives and repo like transactions including transactions with qualified central counterparties that result in liabilities for both
sides, is measured according to the Appendix-2 and Appendix-4 of the “Regulation on Measurement and Evaluation of Capital Adequacy of Banks” Counterparty credit risk
valuation method based on the calculation of fair values of the derivative transactions is implemented. In the process of calculating the counterparty credit risk, the Standard
Approach is used to determine the risk amounts of derivative transactions. In calculating the risk amount related to derivative transactions; 1.4 times the sum of potential credit
risk amounts and positive replacement costs is charged.
Most of the credit risk related to the derivative transactions with other banks is subject to daily collateral clearing agreements mutually signed with related parties and the
counterparty credit risk is hence reduced. There are no guarantees received or sold by credit derivatives by the Bank in the context of trading or banking accounts.

f. Market Risk Explanations
f.1.
Qualitative information to be disclosed to the public regarding market risk
Market risk is defined as the risk that may reduce the market value of the trading portfolio due to the changes in the risk factors named interest rate, exchange rates, equities
and the price of commodities and options.
272
The procedures for the management of market risk are discussed in the Bank’s “Asset and Liability Management Risk Policy” and those procedures are in line with the risk/
return expectations of the Bank and with the limits that are defined in the risk appetite framework. Limits related to market risk; are established by the Board and are revised
periodically in order to reflect market conditions and best practices in the industry. Compliance to those limits is closely monitored by the Risk Management Department, Asset
and Liability Management Committee and by the executive departments. Additionally, compliance with the provisions relating to the procedures and policies of market risk
management is audited by the internal audit system.
Trading activities of the securities that are included in the calculation of market risk is carried out by taking the Asset-Liability Committee decisions, risk policies and
established limits into consideration and risks arising due to these activities are hedged using derivatives transactions where necessary.
Measurement of market risk, reporting of results, and monitoring compliance with the risk limits are among the key responsibilities of the Risk Management Department.
Analyses related to market risk are reported to the Risk Committee and to the Board via the Audit Committee by the Risk Management Department.
The trading book of the Bank included in market risk calculations consists of on balance-sheet financial assets that are held for trading intent, derivatives that provide hedge
to those instruments and foreign currency positions. The market risk carried by the Bank is measured and monitored using two methods known respectively as the Standard
Method and the Value at Risk Model (VAR) and Expected Shortfall in accordance with the local regulations which are established in compliance with the international
legislations. In this context, the exchange rate risk emerges as the most important component of the market risk.
The market risk calculations using the Standard Method are performed at the end of each month and the measurement results are included in the statutory reports as well as
being reported to the Bank’s top management.
The Value at Risk Model and Expected Shortfall are another alternative for the Standard Method used for measuring and monitoring market risk. This model is used to measure
the market risk on a daily basis in terms of interest rate risk, currency risk and equity share risk and is a part of the Bank’s daily internal reporting. Further retrospective testing
(back-testing) is carried out on a daily basis to determine the reliability of the daily risk calculation by the VAR model, which is used to estimate the maximum possible loss for
the following day.
Scenario analyses which support the VAR model used to measure the losses that may occur in the ordinary market conditions are practiced, and the possible impacts of
scenarios that are developed based on the future predictions and the past crises, on the value of the Bank’s portfolio are determined and the results are reported to the Bank’s
top management.

f.10.6. Outline of the liquidation policy for uncollectible loans and other receivables
In order to ensure the liquidation of non-performing loans, all possibilities evaluated to ensure maximum collection according to the legislation. Primarily, administrative
initiatives are taken to deal with the borrower. Collection through legal proceedings is applied if there is no possibility of collection, liquidation or structuring for receivables
through negotiations.
Our receivables that cannot be collected through administrative and legal initiatives can be written off from the assets within the framework of portfolio-based receivables
sales or write-offs, by fulfilling the requirements of the Tax Procedure Law.
f.10.7.
Information on write-off policy
Receivables classified as non-performing loans are collected primarily within the framework of administrative contacts with the debtors, and if no result is obtained, legal
proceedings are applied. In case of deletion of NPLs from assets, one of the methods of destruction, receivable sale and write-off can be applied.
282
In the Bank’s write-off policy within the framework following the amendment made in Article 53 of the Banking Law with the Law on Income Tax and amending Certain
Laws No. 19.07.2019/7186, along with the “Classification of Loans and the Procedures and Principles for the Reserves to be Allocated” published in the Official Gazette No.
27.11.2019 / 30961, the following statements are issued:
The portion of the receivables, which are followed under the Fifth Group-Loans with a Loss Qualification and for which a lifetime expected credit loss provision has been
made due to the default of the debtor, for which there is no reasonable expectation of its collection, can be write-off to the extent of the maximum provision amount,
write-off is an accounting practice and does not result in the remission of the receivable,
Receivables that are proven to be uncollectible in legal follow-up process can be write-off within the instructions of Tax Procedure Law.

Key Audit Matter
How the Key Audit Matter is addressed in our audit
Pension Fund Obligations
Financial impact of TFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” standard
and impairment on financial assets and related important
disclosures
As presented in Section III disclosure VIII, the Group recognizes
expected credit losses of financial assets in accordance with TFRS
9 Financial Instruments standard. We considered impairment of
financial assets as a key audit matter since:
Amount of on and off-balance sheet items that are subject
to expected credit loss calculation is material to the
financial statements.
There are complex and comprehensive requirements of
TFRS 9.
The classification of the financial assets is based on
the Group’s business model and characteristics of the
contractual cash flows in accordance with TFRS 9 and
the Group uses significant judgment on the assessment
of the business model and identification of the complex
contractual cash flow characteristics of financial
instruments.
Policies implemented by the Group management include
compliance risk to the regulations and other practices.
Processes of TFRS 9 are advanced and complex.
Judgements and estimates used in expected credit loss,
complex and comprehensive.
Disclosure requirements of TFRS 9 are comprehensive and
complex.
Our audit procedures included among others include:
Evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies as to
the requirements of TFRS 9, Group’s past experience, local
and global practices.
Reviewing and testing of processes which are used to
calculate expected credit losses by involving our Information
technology and process audit specialists.
Evaluation of the reasonableness and appropriateness of
key judgments and estimates determined by management
and the methods, judgments, and data sources used in
calculating expected loss, taking into account the standard
requirements, industry and global practices.
Reviewing the appropriateness of criteria in order to identify
the financial assets having solely payments of principal
and interest and checking the compliance to the Group’s
Business model.
Evaluating the alignment of the significant increase in
credit risk determined during the calculation of expected
credit losses, default definition, restructuring definition,
probability of default, loss given default, exposure at default
and macro-economic variables that are determined by the
financial risk management experts with the Group’s past
performance, regulations, and other processes that has
forward looking estimations.
Assessing the completeness and the accuracy of the data
used for expected credit loss calculation.
Testing the mathematical accuracy of expected credit loss
calculation on sample basis.
Evaluating the judgments and estimates used for the
individually assessed financial assets.
Evaluating the necessity and accuracy of the updates made
or required updates after the modeling process
Auditing of TFRS 9 disclosures
It has been addressed whether there have been any significant changes in
regulations governing pension liabilities, employee benefits plan during the
period, that could lead to adjust the valuation of employee benefits. Support
from actuarial auditor of another entity who is in the same audit network
within our firm, has been taken to assess the appropriateness of the actuarial
assumptions and calculations performed by the external actuary.
We further focused on the accuracy and adequacy of the Group's provision
provided for the deficit and also disclosures on key assumptions related to
pension fund deficit.
Our audit procedures included among others involve reviewing policies
regarding fair value measurement accepted by the Group management fair
value calculations of the selected derivative financial instruments which
is carried out by valuation experts of our firm and the assessment of used
estimations and the judgements and testing the assessment of operating
effectiveness of the key controls in the process of fair value determination.
Employees of the Parent Bank are members of Emekli
Sandığı Vakıfları”, (“the Fund”), which is established in
accordance with the temporary Article 20 of the Social
Security Act No. 506 and related regulations. The Fund is a
separate legal entity and foundation recognized by an official
decree, providing all qualified employees with pension
and post-retirement benefits. As disclosed in the “Section
Three Note XX.2” to the financial statements, the Parent
Bank will transfer their pension fund to the Social Security
Institution and the authority of the “Council of Ministers” on
the determination of the mentioned transfer date is changed
as “President” in the Decree Law No. 703 published in the
Official Gazette numbered 30473 and dated July 9, 2018.
According to the technical balance sheet report as of 31
December 2023 prepared considering the related articles
of the Law regarding the transferrable benefit obligations for
the non- transferrable social benefits and payments which
are included in the articles of association, the Fund has an
actuarial and technical deficit which is fully provisioned for.
The valuation of the Pension Fund liabilities requires
judgment in determining appropriate assumptions such as
defining the transferrable social benefits, discount rates,
salary increases, demographic assumptions, inflation rate
estimates and the impact of any changes in individual
pension plans. The Group Management uses Fund actuaries
to assist in assessing these assumptions.
Considering the subjectivity of key assumptions and
estimate used in the calculations of transferrable liabilities
and the effects of the potential changes in the estimates
used together with the uncertainty around the transfer date
and given the fact that technical interest rate is prescribed
under the law, we considered this to be a key audit matter.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments including foreign exchange
contracts, currency and interest rate swaps, currency and
interest rate options, futures and other derivative financial
instruments which are held for trading are initially recognized
on the statement of financial position at fair value and
subsequently are re-measured at their fair value. The details
of the related amounts are explained in “Section Five Note
I.c”, and “Section Five Note II.b”.
Fair value of the derivative financial instruments is
determined by selecting most convenient market data and
applying valuation techniques to those particular derivative
products. Derivative Financial Instruments are considered
by us as a key audit matter because of the subjectivity in the
estimates, assumptions and judgments used.

Independent Audit Regulation and ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with BRSA Independent Audit Regulation and ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the
audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. (The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control.)
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank and its subsidiaries internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Bank’s and its subsidiaries subject to consolidation’s ability to continue as a going concern. If
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or,
if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent
the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities and business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the
consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any
significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with government with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with
them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial
statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure
about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing
so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
1. In accordance with Article 402 paragraph 4 of the Turkish Commercial Code (“TCC”) no 6102; no significant matter has come to our attention that causes us to believe that
the Bank’s bookkeeping activities and financial statements for the period January 1 – December 31, 2022 are not in compliance with the TCC and provisions of the Bank’s
articles of association in relation to financial reporting.
2. In accordance with Article 402 paragraph 4 of the TCC; the Board of Directors submitted to us the necessary explanations and provided required documents within the

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statement For The Year Ended
December 31, 2023
SECTION THREE: EXPLANATION ON ACCOUNTING POLICIES
I.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements, related notes and explanations in this report are prepared in accordance with the “Regulation on Accounting Applications for Banks and
Safeguarding of Documents” and other regulations on accounting records of Banks published by Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency and circulars and interpretations
published by Banking Regulation and Supervision Authority, (together referred as “BRSA Accounting and Financial Reporting Legislation”) and requirements of Turkish
Financial Reporting Standards (TFRS) published the Public Oversight Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority for the matters not regulated by the aforementioned
legislations.
TAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflation Economies requires entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy to prepare their financial statements
in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. TAS 29 describes characteristics that may indicate that an economy is hyperinflationary, and it
requires all entities that report in the currency of the same hyperinflationary economy apply this Standard from the same date. With the announcement made on November
23 2023, POA stated that, entities that is applying TFRS on their financial statements for the annual reporting period ending on or after 31 December 2023 should be
presented by adjusting for the inflation effect in accordance with the relevant accounting principles in the TAS 29 standard, on the other hand, He explained that institutions or
organizations authorized to regulate and supervise may determine different transition dates in their own fields for the implementation of TMS 29 provisions. In accordance with
the BRSA’s decision dated December 12 2023 and numbered 10744, the financial statements of banks and financial leasing, factoring, financing, savings financing and asset
management companies dated 31 December 2023 will not be subject to the inflation adjustment required within the scope of TMS 29. and In accordance with the Decision
No. 10825 dated January 11 2024 , it was decided to switch to inflation accounting as of January 1, 2025. Accordingly, TMS 29 was not applied and no inflation adjustment
was made in the financial statements dated 31 December 2023.
TFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” standard, published by the POA on 16.02.2019 to be implemented in accounting periods starting after 31.12.2022, determines the principles
regarding the financial statements, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts within the scope of the standard. The purpose of TFRS 17 is to ensure
that businesses represent the contracts in question in a realistic manner. POA has decided to apply TFRS 17 in the consolidated and individual financial statements of
companies as of 01.01.2024. In this context, the relevant standard was not applied in the financial statements dated 31.12.2023.
Within the scope of the project to change the benchmark interest rates carried out by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), the “Benchmark Interest Rate
Reform - 2nd stage” which brings changes to various TAS/TFRS, effective as of January 1, 2021, was published in December 2020. As of June 30, 2023, the Secured
Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) has started to be used in open transactions with variable interest rates indexed to USD LIBOR. The mentioned changes did not have a
significant impact on the Group’s financial statements as of December 31, 2023.
The accounting policies applied in the current period are in line with the prior period consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies and the valuation principles
used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are presented below in detail.

estate portfolio and asset management, payment services, financial lease, factoring services, portfolio and asset management. The liabilities on the Group’s balance sheet are
mainly composed of relatively short-term deposits, parallel to general liability structure of the banking system, which is its main field of activity. As for the non-deposit liabilities,
funds are collected through medium and long-term instruments. The liquidity risk that may arise from this liability structure can be easily controlled through deposit continuity,
as well as widespread network of the correspondent banks, market maker status (The Parent Bank is one of the market maker banks) and by the use of liquidity facilities of
the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT). As a result, the liquidity of the Group and the banking system can be easily monitored. On the other hand, foreign currency
liquidity requirements are met by the money market operations and currency swaps.
Most of the funds collected bear fixed-interest, and by closely monitoring the developments in the sector, both fixed and floating rate placements are made based on the yields
of alternative investment instruments.
Some of the fixed interest liabilities that are issued/used by the Group companies are subject to fair value hedge accounting. The fair value risk of the related fixed interest
financial liabilities is protected by interest rate swaps. Explanations on hedge accounting are explained in Section Three, footnote IV.2.
The principle of safety is prioritized in placement works, placements are directed to high yield and low risk assets by considering their maturity structures, while taking global
and national economic expectations, market conditions, expectations and tendencies of current and potential loan customers, interest rate, liquidity, currency risks and etc,
into consideration. In long term placements, a pricing policy aiming at high return is applied in general and attention is paid to maximizing non-interest income generation
opportunities. In addition, the Bank and its subsidiaries within the scope of consolidation act in parallel with these strategies and within the legal limits in management of
Financial Statements.
The primary objectives related to balance sheet components are set by the long-term plans shaped along with budgeting; and the Parent Bank takes the required positions
against the short-term currency, interest rates and price fluctuations in accordance with these plans and the course of the market conditions.
Foreign currency, interest rate and price fluctuations in the markets are monitored instantaneously. While taking positions, in addition to the legal limits, the Parent Bank’s own
transaction and control limits are also effectively monitored in order to avoid limit overrides.
The Parent Bank’s asset-liability management is executed by the Asset-Liability Management Committee, within the risk limits determined by the Board of Directors, in order to
keep the liquidity risk, interest rate risk, currency risk and credit risk within certain limits depending on the equity adequacy and to maximize profitability.
2. Foreign Currency Transactions
The financial statements of the Parent Bank’s branches and financial institutions that have been established abroad are prepared in functional currency prevailing in the
economic environment that they operate in; and when they are consolidated, they are presented in TL, which are the functional currency of the Parent Bank and also the
currency used in presentation of the financial statements.
Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities on the balance sheet are converted into Turkish Lira by using the prevailing exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Non-
monetary items in foreign currencies carried at fair value are converted into Turkish Lira by the rates at the date of which the fair value is determined. Exchange rate differences
arising from the conversions of monetary foreign currency items and the collections of and payments in foreign currency transactions are reflected to the income statement.
While the Parent Bank and Türkiye Sınai Kalkınma Bankası A.Ş. one of the consolidated subsidiaries, use their own foreign currency exchange rates for their foreign currency
transactions, other consolidated institutions residing domestically use the CBRT rates for their foreign currency transactions.
Assets and liabilities of the foreign branches of the Parent Bank and financial institutions that have been established abroad are converted into TL by using the prevailing
exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses of foreign branches are converted by at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Incomes and
expenses of foreign financial institutions are converted into TL at average foreign currency rates of the balance sheet date as long as there is not a significant fluctuation in
currency rates during the period. The exchange rate differences arising from the conversion to TL are recognized in the shareholders’ equity.
The Parent Bank has been applying net investment hedge accounting as of 01.11.2023 to the 397 million EURO portion of its net investment in its subsidiary Isbank AG,
headquartered in Germany and whose functional currency is Euro, in order to hedge against exchange rate risk. The part of the EURO demand deposit subject to hedge
accounting has been determined as a hedging instrument. Exchange rate changes in the portion of foreign currency demand deposits subject to hedge accounting are
recognized in equity under “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income or Expense Reclassified to Profit or Loss”.
III.
Information on the Consolidated Companies
1. Basis of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the procedures and principles listed in the “Communiqué Related to Regulation on the
Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements of Banks” published in the Official Gazette numbered 26340 dated November 8, 2006.
a.
Subsidiaries:
A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Parent.
Control; is the power of the Parent Bank to appoint or remove from office the decision-taking majority of members of board of directors through direct or indirect possession
of the majority of a legal person’s capital irrespective of the requirement of owning minimum fifty-one per cent of its capital; or by having control over the majority of the voting
right as a consequence of holding privileged shares or of agreements with other shareholders although not owning the majority of capital.
As per the “Communiqué Related to the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements of Banks” published in the Official Gazette numbered 26340 dated November 8,
there is no subsidiary or financial institution that is not included in the scope of consolidation as of the current period. Detailed information about the Bank’s subsidiaries related
to credit and financial institution is given in Section Five Note I.i.3
Under full consolidation method, the assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and off-balance sheet items of subsidiaries are combined with the equivalent items of the Parent
Bank. The book value of the Parent Bank’s investment in each of the subsidiaries and the Group’s portion of equity of each subsidiary are eliminated. All significant transactions
and balances between consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated reciprocally. Non-controlling interests in the net period profit/loss and in the equity of consolidated subsidiaries
are calculated separately from the Group’s net period profit/loss and the Group’s shareholders’ equity. Non-controlling interests are presented separately in the balance sheet
and in the period profit/loss statement.
In preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Bank performed necessary corrections to ensure consistency of accounting policies used by consolidated subsidiaries.
On the other hand, insurance companies under consolidation are obliged to carry their activities in accordance with the regulations and other legislations issued by Republic of
Turkey Ministry t of Treasury and Finance and in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, financial reporting presentations of these companies are maintained in
accordance with the insurance legislation.
TFRS 3 “Business Combinations” standard prescribes no depreciation to be recognized for goodwill arising on the acquisitions on or after March 31, 2004, realizing positive
goodwill as an asset and application of impairment analysis as of balance sheet dates. In the same standard, it is also required from that date onwards that the negative
goodwill, which occurs in the case of the Group’s interest in the fair value of acquired identifiable assets and liabilities exceeds the acquisition cost to be recognized in profit or
loss.
In the prior periods, positive consolidation goodwill amounting to TL 27,994 resulting from the acquisition of Moka Payment and Electronic Para Organization Inc. is included in
the consolidated financial statements.
The structured entity that is established within the Bank’s securitization loan transactions are included in the consolidated financial statement although the bank does not have
any subsidiaries.

Associates:
V.
Interest Income and Expenses
An associate is a domestic or foreign entity which the Parent Bank participates in its capital and over which it has a significant influence but no control.
Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy of the investee. If the Parent Bank holds qualified shares in the associate, it is presumed
that the Parent Bank has significant influence unless otherwise demonstrated. A substantial or majority ownership by another investor does not necessarily preclude the Parent
Bank from having significant influence.
Qualified share is the share that directly or indirectly constitutes ten or more than ten percent of an entity’s capital or voting rights and irrespective of this requirement,
possession of privileged shares giving right to appoint members of board of directors.
Equity method is a method of accounting whereby the book value of the investor’s share capital in the subsidiary or the joint venture is either added to or subtracted in
proportion with investor’s share from the change in the subsidiary’s or joint venture’s equity within the period. The method also foresees that profit will be deducted from the
subsidiaries’ or joint venture’s accordingly recalculated value.
Arap-Türk Bankası A.Ş. is a subsidiary of the Bank acting as a credit institution or financial institution, is accounted under the equity method in the consolidated financial
statements according to the “Communiqué on the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements”. Accounting policies of Arap Türk Bankası A.Ş. are not different than the
Parent Bank’s accounting policies. Detailed information about Arap Türk Bankası A.Ş. is given in Section Five Note I.h.2.
c.
Jointly controlled entities:
A joint venture is an agreement in which the Group has joint control, whereby the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and
obligations for its liabilities.
The Bank does not have any jointly controlled entities which are credit or financial institutions in nature and to be consolidated in the financial statements by the equity method
according to the “Regulation on Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements of Banks”.
d.
Principles applied during share transfer, merger and acquisition:
None.
2. Presentation of subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities which are not credit or financial institutions in consolidated financial statements:
The subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities which are not credit or financial institutions owned by the Bank and its subsidiaries are accounted accordingly to the
equity method described in TAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”.
IV.
Forward, Option Contracts and Derivative Instruments
Derivative transactions of the Group consist of foreign currency and interest rate swaps, forwards, foreign currency options and interest rate options. The Group has no
derivative instruments decomposed from the main contract.
The Group classifies derivative products “Derivative Financial Instruments at Fair Value through Profit or Loss” or ‘’Derivative Financial Instruments through Other
Comprehensive Income’’ according to the “TFRS 9-Financial Instruments” principles.
1.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative transactions are recorded at their fair values as of the date of the contract and receivables and payables arising from these transactions are recorded in off-balance
sheet accounts. Derivative transactions are measured at their fair values in the reporting periods after their recognition and if the valuation difference is positive, difference
is presented under the “Derivative Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss” and if the valuation difference is negative, then it is presented under the “Derivative
Financial Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit and Loss”. The differences arising from the valuation of derivative transactions are associated with the income statement.
On off-balance sheet items table, options which generated assets for the Group are presented under “call options” line and which generated liabilities are presented under “put
options” line.
2. Hedging Derivative Financial Instruments
TFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” rules that TAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” value hedge accounting may continue to be implemented to hedge
the fair value changes against interest rate risk. In this context, the principles of TAS 39 regarding hedge accounting for fair value hedge accounting continue to be applied in
the accompanying financial statements.
Interest rate swaps are performed in order to hedge the changes in fair value of fixed interest rate financial instruments.
In this context, if the valuation differences of the derivative transactions are positive, they are included in “Derivative financial assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss” and if
the valuation differences are negative, they are included in “Derivative Financial Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss”. Changes in the fair value of the fixed rate financial
liabilities subject to hedge accounting and changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps as hedging instruments are recorded under “Trading Profit/Loss” in the income
statement.
At the beginning of the hedging transaction and in each reporting period, it is expected that the hedging transaction will offset the changes in the hedged risk arising from the
hedged transaction (related to the hedged risk) and effectiveness tests are performed in this context. Efficiency tests are carried out with the “Dollar off-set method” and the
hedging accounting is continued if the efficiency is between 80% and 125%.
The hedge accounting is terminated if the hedging instrument is terminated, realized, sold or the effectiveness test is ineffective. In the case of termination of fair value hedge
accounting, the valuation effects of the fair value hedge accounting applied on the hedged financial instruments is reflected to the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line
basis over the life of the hedged financial instrument.
Interest income is calculated by using the effective interest rate method (the rate that equals the future cash flows of a financial asset or liability to its present net book value) to
gross carrying amount of financial asset in conformity with “TFRS 9 Financial Instruments” except financial asset that is not a purchased or originated credit-impaired financial
asset but subsequently has become credit-impaired.
Under the scope of TFRS 9 application, the Group does not reverse the interest accruals and rediscounts of non-performing loans and other receivables and monitors the
related amounts under interest income and calculates expected credit loss on these amounts according to the related methodology.
VI.
Fees and Commission Income and Expenses
Wages and commissions those that are not an integral part of the effective interest rate of the financial instruments measured at amortized cost are accounted for in
accordance with “TFRS 15 - Revenue from Customer Contracts”. Fees and commission income and expenses are recognized either on accrual basis or by using the effective
interest method. Income earned in return for services rendered contractually or due to operations like sale or purchase of assets on behalf of a third-party real person or
corporate body are recognized in income accounts in the period of collection.
VII.
Financial Assets
The Bank and its companies within the scope of “TFRS 9 Financial Instruments”, classifies and accounts its financial assets as “Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or
Loss”, “Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income” or “Financial Assets at Measured at Amortized Cost” by taking into account their business model
and contractual cash flow characteristics. Financial assets are recognized or derecognized according to TFRS 9 “Recognition and Derecognition in Statement of Financial
Position” requirements. Financial asset is recognized in the statement of financial position when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are measured at their fair value on initial recognition in the financial statements.
The Group has three different business models for classification of financial assets;
Business model aimed at holding financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows: Financial assets held under the mentioned business model are managed to
collect contractual cash flows over the life of these assets. The Group manages its assets held under this portfolio in order to collect certain contractual cash flows.
Business model aimed at collecting contracted cash flows of financial assets and selling; in this business model, the Group intends both to collect contractual cash flows of
financial assets and to sell these assets.
Other business models; A business model in which financial assets; are not held within the scope of a business model aimed at collection of contractual cash flows and
within the scope of a business model aimed at collecting and selling contracted cash flows, are measured by reflecting fair value in profit or loss.
The Group is able to reclassify all affected financial assets in case it changes the business model that is used for the management of financial asset.
In the event of the termination of the rights related to the cash flows from a financial asset, the transfer of all risks and rewards of the financial asset to a significant extent or has
no longer control of the financial assets, the financial asset is derecognized.
1.
Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss
Financial assets except financial assets measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for the purpose of generating profit from short-term fluctuations in price or similar factors in the
market or being part of a portfolio for profitability in the short term, regardless of the acquisition reason or financial assets that are not held in a business model that aims at
collecting and/or selling contractual cash flows of financial assets.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value on the balance sheet and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Gains or losses
arising from the valuation are related to profit and loss accounts.
In some cases, restructuring, alteration or counterparty changes of contractual cash flows of loans may lead to derecognition of related loans in accordance with TFRS 9.
When the change in the financial asset results from derecognizing the existing financial asset from the financial statements and the revised financial asset is recognized in
the financial statements, the revised financial asset is considered as a new financial asset in accordance with TFRS 9. When it is determined that there are significant changes
between the new conditions of the revised financial asset and the first conditions in related agreements, the Group evaluates the new financial asset according to the current
business models. When it is determined that the contractual conditions do not only result in cash flows that include principal and interest payments at certain dates, the
financial asset is recognized at fair value and is subject to valuation. The differences arising from the valuation are reflected in the nominal accounts.
The Group recognizes loans at fair value through profit or loss, if the contractual terms of the loan, do not result in cash flows including the principal payments and interest
payments generated from principal amounts at certain dates. These loans are valued at their fair values after their recognition and the losses or gains arising from the valuation
are included in the profit and loss accounts.
2. Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are financial assets that are held under a business model that aims both to collect contractual cash flows
and to sell financial assets, and financial assets with contractual terms that lead to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principle amount
outstanding at specific dates.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially recognized at their fair value including their transaction costs on the financial statements. The
initial recognition and subsequent valuation of such financial assets, including the transaction costs, are carried out on a fair value basis and the difference between amortized
cost and the cost of borrowing instruments is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method. Dividend income arising from investments in equity instruments
that are classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income is also recognized in income statements.

Gains and losses, except impairment gain or loss and foreign exchange gain or loss, arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income are reflected to other comprehensive income until derecognized or reclassified. When the value of the financial asset is collected or financial asset is
disposed, the related fair value differences accumulated in the shareholders’ equity are transferred to the profit/loss statement.
During the initial introduction to financial statements, amendments to the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument within the framework of TFRS 9 that are not held
for trading or that are not valued in a financial statement of an entity that acquires business combinations under the “TFRS 3 Business Combinations” may be subject to an
irreversible preference regarding these amendments being accounted in other comprehensive income. In such case, dividends taken from mentioned investment will be
accounted in financial statement as profit or loss.
3. Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost
Financial assets measured at amortized cost are those financial assets that are held within the framework of a business model aimed at collecting contractual cash flows
over the life of the asset and which result in cash flows that include principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding at specific dates. Financial assets measured
at amortized cost with the initial recognition at fair value including transaction costs are subject to valuation with their discounted cost value by using the effective interest
rate method, after eliminating any provision for impairment if there is any. Interest income measured by using the effective interest rate method are recognized in the income
statement as an “interest income”.
The Bank and subsidiaries evaluate their loans within the framework of current business models and depending on these evaluations, they can be classified as Financial
Assets measured at Amortized Cost.
The Parent Bank also holds consumer price indexed government bonds (“CPI”) in its securities portfolio, reclassified as financial assets measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income, financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets measured at amortised cost. In the valuation of the mentioned
securities, the estimated inflation curve created by using the CPI index announced by Turkish Statistical Institute (“TÜİK”) and the “Annual CPI Expectation After 12 Months”
from the CBRT Market Participants Survey is used. Future cash flows of securities are estimated by using the mentioned inflation data and valuation is made according to the
effective interest method within the framework of the reference inflaiton index formula specified in the Undersecretariat of Treasury’s Investor Guide of CPI.
VIII.
Impairment of Financial Assets
In accordance with the “TFRS 9- Financial Instruments” and the regulation “Procedures and Principals regarding Classification of Loans and Allowances Allocated for Such
Loans” issued by BRSA, the Bank recognizes expected credit loss allowance on financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets measured at
amortized cost, impaired credit commitments and financial guarantee contracts.
Within the scope of TFRS 9, the expected credit loss is calculated according to the “three-stage” impairment model based on the change in the loan quality of financial assets
after the initial recognition and detailed in the following headings:
Stage 1:
An important determinant for calculating the expected credit loss in accordance with TFRS 9 is to assess whether there is a significant increase in the credit risk of the financial
asset. Financial assets that have not experienced a significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition are monitored in the stage 1. Impairment for credit risk for the
Stage 1 financial assets is equal to the 12-month expected credit losses.
Stage 2:
Financial assets that experienced a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition, are transferred to Stage 2. The expected credit loss of these financial assets
are measured at an amount equal to the instrument’s lifetime expected credit loss.
In order to classify a financial asset in the Stage 2, the following criteria is considered:
Overdue between 30-90 days
Restructuring of the loan
Significant deterioration in the probability of default
In case of a significant deterioration in the probability of default, the credit risk is considered to be increased significantly and the financial asset is classified as stage 2. The
absolute and gradual thresholds used to increase the probability of default are differentiated on the basis of portfolio and product group. In this manner, for the commercial
portfolio, definition of increase in the probability of default is the comparison between the probability of default on loan’s opening date, obtained from the integrated rating/
score based on internal rating and probability of default of the same loan on reporting date, obtained from the integrated rating/score based on internal rating. For the individual
portfolio, it is accepted that the probability of default is worsened in cases where the behavioral score falls below the thresholds determined on the basis of the product and the
probability of default exceeds the thresholds determined on the basis of the product.
Stage 3:
While estimating the expected credit loss, statistical models, methods and tools are used in accordance with the relevant legislation and accounting standards. Expected credit
loss is measured using reasonable and supportable information by taking current and forecasts of future economic information into consideration, including macroeconomic
factors. Three scenarios, base scenario, optimistic scenario and the worst scenario, are used in forecasting studies made by macroeconomic models. The variables used in
these macroeconomic estimates include Industrial Production Index, Employment Ratio and Credit Default Swap indicators. The validity of the risk parameter estimates used
in the calculation of expected credit losses is reviewed and evaluated at least annually within the framework of model validation processes. In 2023, loss at default models
were updated in individual and commercial portfolios, and statistical models that estimate the loss at default parameter through decision trees differentiated according to
risk variables in the relevant portfolios began to be used in expected credit loss calculations. Macroeconomic forecasts and risk delinquency data used in risk parameter
models are re-evaluated every quarter to reflect the changes in economic conjuncture and are updated if needed. In the expected credit loss calculations, macroeconomic
information is taken into account under multiple scenarios. Except for demand or revolving loans, the maximum period for which expected credit losses are to be determined is
the contractual life of the financial asset. For demand or revolving loans, maturity is determined by taking the future risk mitigation processes into account such as behavioral
maturity analyses performed by the Bank and cancellation/revision of the Bank’s credit limit.
While calculating the expected credit loss, aside from assessment of whether there is a significant increase in credit risk or not, basic parameters expressed as probability of
default, loss given default and exposure at default are used.
Probability of Default: Represents the probability of default on the loan over a specified time period. In this context, the Bank has developed models to calculate 12-month
and life-time default probabilities by using internal rating based credit rating models. As for the Group Companies historical probability of default data has also been observed.
Loss Given Default (LGD): Defined as the damage caused by the default of borrower to the total balance of the exposure at the time of default. The LGD estimates are
determined by models in terms of credit risk groups that are detailed in the Bank’s data resources and system facilities. The model used for LGD forecasting based on the
Bank’s historical collection data, statistical models are used to explain the LGD ratios formed in past periods, taking into account the direct cost items in the collection process,
using risk variables that differ for each credit risk group.
Exposure at Default: For cash loans, the cash balance at the date of report, for non-cash loans the balance calculated using the Credit Conversion Factor (CCF) is
represented by Exposure at Default.
Credit Conversion Factor: It is calculated for non-cash loans (undrawn limit for revolving loans, commitments, non-cash loans etc.) The historical limit usage data of the
Bank for revolving loans are analyzed and the limit amount that can be used until the moment of default is estimated. For non-cash loans, the cash conversion ratio of the loan
amount is estimated by analyzing the product type and the past compensation amount of the Group.
Credit risks, which require qualitative assessments due to their characteristics and differ followed by grouping in this manner, are considered as individual within the internal
policies. Calculations are made by the method of discounted cash flows with the effective interest rate expected from the relevant financial instrument. Discounted cash flows
are estimated for 3 different scenarios in which parameters are differentiated, and individual expected credit loss is calculated by taking into consideration the cash deficit
amounts weighted according to probabilities.
As mentioned above, the Parent Bank allocated expected credit losses by reflecting additional provisions through individual assessments performed for the customers that
operates in sectors where the impact might be high in accordance with the Bank’s risk policies.
On the other hand, the possible effects of the earthquake disaster that occurred on 06.02.2023 on the loan portfolio have been the subject of expected loan loss calculations
on the basis of loan classes, taking into account the current regulations and data on the subject.
Expected credit loss is reflected in the income statement. Released provisions in the current year are accounted under “Expected Credit Loss Expenses” and released provision
which is carried from the prior year are accounted under “Other Operating Income”.
Receivables evidenced through the Legal Process that collection is not possible can be written-off by fulfilling the requirements of the Tax Procedure Law. Besides, loans for
which specific provision is allocated and for which there is no reasonable expectation of recovery might be written-off.
IX.
Offsetting Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be offset and the net amount shall be presented in the balance sheet only when a party currently has a legally enforceable right to
set off the recognized amounts or intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
X.
Sale and Repurchase Agreements and Securities Lending Transactions
Marketable securities subject to repurchase agreements are classified under “Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit and Loss”, “Financial Assets at Fair Value through
Other Comprehensive Income” or “Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost” in the portfolio and they are valued according to the valuation principles of the related
portfolios.
Funds obtained from the repurchase agreements are recognized under “Funds from Repurchase Transactions” account in liabilities. For the difference between the sale and
repurchase prices determined by the repo agreements for the period; expense accrual is calculated using the effective interest rate method.
Financial assets with sufficient and fair information for impairment at the reporting date, are classified in the third stage. Expected credit loss of these financial assets is
measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit loss. The following basic factors are considered for the classification of a financial asset in the stage 3.
Reverse repo transactions are recognized under the “Receivables from Reverse Repo Transactions” account. For the difference between the purchase and resale prices
determined by the reverse repo agreements for the period, income accrual is calculated using the effective interest rate method.
More than 90 days past due
Whether the credit rating is weakened, has suffered a significant weakness or cannot be collected or there is a certain opinion on this matter
XI.
Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations and Related Liabilities
Assets that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale within the scope of “TFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations” are measured at the
lower one of their fair value and their carrying amount which from the costs to sell are deducted and presented separately within the financial statements. In order to classify a
tangible fixed asset as held for sale, the asset (or the disposal group) should be available for an immediate sale in its present condition subject to the terms of any regular sales
of such assets (or such disposal groups) and the sale should be highly probable. For a highly probable sale, the appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan
to sell the asset (or the disposal group), and an active programme to complete the plan should be initiated to locate a customer. Also, the asset (or the disposal group) should
have an active market sale value, which is a reasonable value in relation to its current fair value. Events or circumstances may extend the completion of the sale more than one
year. Such assets are still classified as held for sale if there is sufficient evidence that the delay in the sale process is due to the events and circumstances occurred beyond the
control of the entity or the entity remains committed to its plan to sell the asset (or disposal group).
A discontinued operation is a component of a group that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. Gains or losses relating to discontinued operations are
presented separately in the income statement.

XII.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Group’s intangible assets consist of consolidation goodwill, software programs and rights.
Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a subsidiary represents the excess of cost of acquisition over the fair value of Group’s share of the identifiable assets, liabilities, or
contingent liabilities of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition of the control. Goodwill is recognized as an asset at cost and then carried at cost less accumulated
impairment losses. In impairment-loss test, goodwill is allocated between the Group’s every cash-generating unit that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the
business combination. To control whether there is an impairment loss in the cash-generating units that goodwill is allocated, impairment- loss test is applied every year or
more often if there are indications of impairment loss. In the cases, recoverable amount of cash-generating unit is smaller than its book value; impairment loss is firstly used
in reduction of book value of the cash-generating unit, and then the other assets proportionally. Goodwill which is allocated for the impairment losses could not be reversed.
When a subsidiary is to be sold, related goodwill amount is combined with the profit/loss relating to this disposal. Positive goodwill arising from the Group’s investments in its
subsidiaries is recognized in “Intangible Assets”. Explanations on consolidation goodwill are given in Section Three, Note III.1.a.As for other intangible assets, the purchased
items are presented with their acquisition costs less the accumulated amortization and impairment provisions. In case there is an indication of impairment, the recoverable
amount of the related intangible asset is estimated within the framework of TAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” and impairment provision is set aside in case the recoverable
amount is below its acquisition cost. The related assets are amortized by the straight-line method considering their estimated useful life. The amortization method and period
are periodically reviewed at the end of each year.
XIII.
Tangible Assets
The Bank and Group companies follow their real estates in use, which are recorded under tangible fixed assets, according to the revaluation model within the framework of
“TAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment”. The positive difference between the net book value of real estate property values and the renewed expertise values which are
determined by the licensed valuation companies, are recorded under the shareholders’ equity in current period.
In case there is an indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of the related intangible asset is estimated within the framework of “TAS 36 – Impairment of Assets” and
impairment provision is set aside in case the recoverable amount is below its acquisition cost.
Tangible assets other than the land and construction in progress are amortized by the straight-line method, according to their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life,
residual amount and the method of amortization are reviewed every year for the possible effects of the changes that occur in the estimates and if there is any change in the
estimates, they are recognized prospectively.
Assets held under finance lease are depreciated over the expected useful life of the related assets.
Assets subject to leasing are depreciated according to relevant contract periods.
Within the scope of the TFRS 16 standard, development costs related to leases that cannot be added to the cost of the right-of-use asset and are within the scope of
exceptions in the mentioned standard are amortized in equal amounts, taking into account the useful-life period. However, in any case the useful life cannot exceed leasing
term. When the lease period is not certain or longer than 5 years, the amortization period is recognized as 5 years.
The difference between the sales proceeds arising from the disposal of tangible assets or the inactivation of tangible asset and the book value of the tangible assets are
recognized in the profit and loss accounts.
Regular maintenance and repair cost incurred for tangible assets are recognized as expense.
There are no pledges, mortgages and similar encumbrances on tangible assets.
The “Regulation on Procedures and Principles for the Trading of Precious Metals by Banks and the Disposal of Commodities and Real Properties acquired by Banks due to their

Investment properties are kind of properties held by the Group to earn rent income or benefit from valuation surplus. The investment properties of the Group are measured at
their fair values in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with “TAS 40 Investment Property”. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair values of investment

XV.
Leasing Transactions
Banks and companies within the scope of consolidation account for their leases within the scope of TFRS 16 “Leases” standard. For contracts within the scope of TFRS
16, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are reflected in the financial statements, and these are shown under “Tangible Assets” and “Leasing Transactions Liabilities”,
respectively.
In accordance with TFRS 16, the right of use asset is first measured at cost. The cost of the right-of-use asset consists of the present value of the lease payments as of the
date the lease obligation begins, the amount obtained by deducting all lease incentives received, and the sum of all initial direct costs incurred by the lessee. The right-of-use
assets of banks and companies within the scope of consolidation are measured by the cost method. Fixed assets accounted for as right-of-use assets are depreciated taking
into account the contract period.
In accordance with TFRS 16, the lease liability is calculated by discounting future lease payments using the Bank’s or alternative borrowing interest rates at the date of initial
application or contract. The interest on the lease obligation for each period in the lease term is the amount found by applying a fixed periodic interest rate to the remaining
balance of the lease obligation. Interest expenses and exchange differences related to lease obligations are associated with the profit or loss statement.
Within the scope of consolidation, there is 1 company (İş Finansal Kiralama A.Ş.) that exclusively engages in financial leasing transactions and 1 bank (Türkiye Sınai Gelişim
Bankası A.Ş.) that engages in financial leasing activities in accordance with Article 4 of the Banking Law No. 5411, financial leasing activities are carried out within the
framework of the Financial Leasing, Factoring, Financing and Saving Financing Companies Law No. 6361.
XVI.
Insurance Technical Income and Expense
In insurance companies, premium income is obtained after diminishing the shares transferred from arranged policy income to reassurer.
Claims are recorded in expense on accrual basis. Outstanding loss provisions are recognized for the claims reported but not paid yet and for the claims that incurred but not
reported. Reassurer’ shares of outstanding and paid claims are offset in these provisions.
XVII.
Insurance Technical Provisions
TFRS 4 “Insurance Standards” requires that all contracts issued by insurance companies be classified as either insurance contracts or investment contracts. Contracts with
significant insurance risk are considered insurance contracts. Insurance risk is defined as risk, other than financial risk, transferred from the holder of a contract to the issuer.
Contracts issued by insurance companies without significant insurance risk are considered investment contracts. Investment contracts are accounted for in accordance with
TAS 39 “Turkish Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”.
Within the framework of the current insurance regulation, insurance technical provisions accounted by insurance companies for unearned premium claims, unexpired risk
reserves, outstanding claims and life-mathematical reserves are presented in the consolidated financial statements.
Unearned premium reserve is recognized on accrued premiums without discount or commission which extends to the next period or periods on a daily basis for the current
insurance contracts.
In case the expected loss premium ratio is over 95%, the unexpired risk reserves are recognized for the main branches specified by the Undersecretariat of Treasury. For each
main branch, the amount found by multiplying the ratio exceeding 95% by the net unearned premium provision, is added to the unearned premium provision of that main
branch.
If the outstanding claim reserve is established and confirmed by approximation and if there are unpaid or unidentified compensation amounts in both prior and current
accounting periods; it is separated for estimated yet unreported compensation amounts.
Mathematical reserve is recognized on actuarial bases in order to meet the requirements of policyholders and beneficiaries for life, health and personal accident insurance
contracts for a period longer than a year.
On the other hand, actuarial chain ladder method is used to estimate the reserve amount to be set aside in the current period by looking at the data of the past materialized
losses. If the reserve amount found as a result of this method exceeds the amount of reserve for the amount of uncertain indemnity, additional reserve must be set aside for the
difference.
Reinsurance companies recognize for the outstanding claims that is declared by the companies, accrued and determined on account.
Insurance companies of the Group cede premium and risks in the normal course of business in order to limit the potential for losses arising from risks accepted. Insurance
premiums ceded to reinsurers on contracts that are deemed to transfer significant insurance risk are recognized as an expense in a manner that is consistent with the
recognition of insurance premium revenue arising from the underlying risks being protected.
Costs which vary and are directly associated with the acquisition of insurance and reinsurance contracts including brokerage, commissions, underwriting expenses and other
acquisition costs are deferred and amortized over the period of contract, consistent with the earning of premium.
XVIII. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
As of the end of the reporting period, a past event is deemed to give rise to a present obligation if, taking account of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that a present
obligation exists, the entity recognizes a provision in the financial statements. As of the end of the reporting period where it is more likely that no present obligation exists at the
end of the reporting period, the entity discloses a contingent liability on footnotes unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
In the financial statements, a provision is made for an existing commitment resulted from past events if it is probable that the commitment will be settled and a reliable estimate
can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are calculated based on the reliable estimates of management of the Parent Bank and subsidiaries on the expenses to incur as of the balance sheet date to fulfill
the liability by considering the risks and uncertainties related to the liability. In case the provision is measured by using the estimated cash flows required to fulfill the existing
liability, the book value of the related liability is equal to the present value of the related cash flows.
If the amount is not reliably estimated and there is no probability of cash outflow from the Group to settle the liability, the related liability is considered as “contingent” and
disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

XIX. Contingent Assets
The contingent assets usually arise from unplanned or other unexpected events that give rise to the possibility of an inflow of economic benefits to the Parent Bank and the
Group. Since showing the contingent assets in the financial statements may result in the accounting of an income, which will never be generated, the related assets are not
included in the financial statements, but if there is a possibility that an inflow of economic benefits of these assets may occur then it is explained in the footnotes of the financial
statements. Nevertheless, the developments related to the contingent assets are constantly evaluated and if it has become virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits
will arise, the asset and the related income are recognized in the financial statements of the period in which the change occurs.
XX.
Liabilities Regarding Employee Benefits
1. Severance Indemnities and Short-Term Employee Benefits
According to the related regulation and the collective bargaining agreements, the Parent Bank and consolidated Group companies (excluding the subsidiaries residing outside
Turkey) are obliged to pay termination benefits for employees who retire, die, quit for their military service obligations, who have been dismissed as defined in the related
regulation or (for the female employees) who have voluntarily quit within one year after the date of their marriage. Within the scope of TAS 19 “Employee Benefits”, the Parent
Bank allocates severence indemnity provisions for employee benefits by estimating the present value of the probable future liabilities. According to TAS 19, all actuarial gains
and losses occurred are recognized under shareholders’ equity. As the legislations of the countries in which the Parent Bank’s non-resident subsidiaries operate do not require
retirement pay provision, no provision liability has been recognized for the related companies. In addition, provision is also allocated for the unused paid vacation.
2. Retirement Benefit Obligations
İşbank Pension Fund (Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş. Emekli Sandığı Vakfı), of which each employee of the Parent Bank is a member, has been established according to the provisional
Article 20 of the Social Security Act No 506. As per provisional article numbered 23 of the Banking Law numbered 5411, it is ruled that Bank pension funds, which were

Official Gazette No. 30473 dated July 9, 2018.
On the other hand, the application made on June 19, 2008 by the Republican People’s Party to the Constitutional Court for the annulment and motion for stay of some articles,
including the first paragraph of the provisional article 20 of the Law, which covers provisions on transfers, was rejected in accordance with the decision taken at the meeting of
the afore-mentioned court on March 30, 2011.
The above mentioned Law also states that;

Institution, these persons’ uncovered social rights and payments, despite being included in the trust indenture that they are subject to, will be continued to be covered by the
pension funds and the employers of pension fund contributors.
In line with the new law, the Parent Bank obtained a technical actuarial valuation report from a licensed actuary for the year ended December 31, 2023. In related period’s

XXI.
Taxation
1. Corporate Tax:
Turkish tax legislation does not permit a parent company and its subsidiary to file a consolidated tax return. Therefore, provisions for taxes, as reflected in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements, have been calculated on a separate-entity basis.
Pursuant to the amendment made in Article 32 of the Corporate Tax Law with the Law No. 7394, the corporate tax rate has been determined as 25%, starting from the
declarations that must be submitted as of 01.07.2022 and being valid for the corporate earnings for the taxation period starting from 01.01.2022. On the other hand, the
Law No. 7456 published in the Official Gazette No. 32249 dated 15.07.2023 and the Corporate Tax Law No. 32. in accordance with the amendment made to the article, the
corporate tax rate has been determined as 30% starting from the returns that must be submitted as of 01.10.2023 and applying to corporate earnings of institutions for the
year 2023 and subsequent taxation periods. The corporate tax rate valid for the period 31.12.2023 is 30%.
As per the Corporate Tax law, temporary tax is calculated and in the first nine months of the year, paid quarterly in line with the principles of the Income Tax Law and at the
corporate tax rate. The temporary tax payments are deducted from the current period’s corporate tax.
Tax provision consists of current tax provision and deferred tax income/expense. The current tax liability is calculated over the portion of the period subject to taxation. The
taxable profit differs from the profit involved in the statement of profit and loss, as the income and expense items that can be taxable or deductible at other periods, and items
that are not taxable or deductible are excluded. The current tax amounts payable is netted off with prepaid tax amounts and presented on the financial statements.
Within the framework of the Corporate Tax Law numbered 5520, 75% of the gains on the sale of the participation shares, which were held in the assets for a minimum of 2
whole years and 75% of the gains on the sale of immovable are exempt from tax provided that they are added to the capital as set forth by the Law or that they are kept in
a special fund under liabilities for a period of 5 years. However, in accordance with Article 89 / a of the Law No. 7061 and Article 5.1.e and Article 5.1.f of the Corporate Tax
Law, which were published in the Official Gazette dated December 5, 2017, and numbered 30261, the 75% applied in terms of immovable sales mentioned above has been
reduced to 50% which is effective from the date of publication of the Law. On the other hand, with the Law No. 7456 published in the Official Gazette dated 15.07.2023 and
numbered 32249, the exception for 50% of the income arising from the sale of immovables in Article 5.1.e of the Corporate Tax Law has been abolished.However, pursuant
to the temporary article 16 added to the Corporate Tax Law with the 22nd article of the Law No. 7456, the pre-amendment provisions will be taken into consideration for the
immovables included in the assets of the institutions before 15.07.2023. The 50% rate will be applied as 25% for the real estate sales earnings to be made after 15.07.2023.
In accordance with the provision of Article 298 / A of the Tax Procedure Law, the necessary conditions for inflation adjustment in the calculation of corporate tax as of the end
of the 2021 calendar year have been met. However, the application of inflation adjustment in the calculation of corporate tax was postponed to 2023 with the regulation made
with the “Law on the Amendment of the Tax Procedure Law and the Corporate Tax Law” numbered 7352 published in the Official Gazette dated 29.01.2022 and numbered
31734. Accordingly, the TPL financial statements were not subjected to inflation correction in the 2021,2022 and 2023 accounting periods and the provisional tax periods
of the 2023 accounting period, including the provisional tax periods, and the TPL financial statements dated 31.12.2023 were subject to inflation correction, regardless of
whether the inflation adjustment conditions were met or not. In accordance with TPL Provisional Article 33, profit/loss differences arising from the inflation adjustment made
on 31.12.2023 and required to be shown in previous years’ profit/loss accounts do not affect the corporate tax base. However, with the regulation made by the Law No. 7491 on
Amendments to Certain Laws and Decree Laws, the profit/loss difference arising from the inflation adjustment to be made by banks and financial institutions in the 2024 and
2025 accounting periods, including the provisional tax periods, will be taken into account in determining the earnings. It is regulated that it will not be taken.
With the regulations in paragraph (Ç) of Article 298 of the TPL and Provisional Article 32, taxpayers have been given the opportunity to optionally revaluate within the scope
of the TPL General Communiqué No. 537. However, these revaluation opportunities cannot be used in periods where inflation adjustment is applied in accordance with Article
298 bis of the TPL. However, in accordance with paragraph (A) of Article 298 of the TPL and Provisional Article 33, revaluation cannot be made within the scope of paragraph
(Ç) of the same article in periods when inflation adjustment is required. In case of inflation adjustment in the period following the end of the revaluation period, inflation
adjustment is applied based on the values found by taking into account the last values of the revalued depreciated economic assets.
2. Deferred Tax:
Deferred tax asset or liability is determined by calculating the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial
statements and the amounts considered in the legal tax base account, by taking the legal tax rates into account. Deferred tax debts are generally recognized for all taxable
temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary
differences can be utilized. Free provisions that are allocated for possible future risks and they are not subject to deferred tax calculation. No tax assets or liabilities are
recognized for the temporary timing difference that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit and that arises from the initial recognition in the balance sheet, of
assets and liabilities, other than the goodwill and mergers. The Bank calculates deferred tax for the provisions allocated for Stage 1 and Stage 2 expected credit loss.
The carrying values of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be
available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated based on the tax rates that are valid or almost certain to come into force in the period when assets are created or liabilities are fulfilled and are
recorded as expense or income in the income statement. However, deferred tax is recognized directly in equity accounts if it relates to assets directly attributable to equity in
the same or a different period.
Pursuant to the amendment made in Article 32 of the Corporate Tax Law with the Law No. 7394, the corporate tax rate has been determined as 25%, starting from the
declarations that must be submitted as of 01.07.2022 and being valid for the corporate earnings for the taxation period starting from 01.01.2022. On the other hand, in
accordance with the Law No. 7456 published in the Official Gazette dated 15.07.2023 and numbered 32249 and the amendment made in Article 32 of the Corporate Tax Law,
the corporate tax rate should start from the declarations that must be submitted as of 01.10.2023 and it has been determined as 30% to be applied to the corporate earnings of
the institutions for the year 2023 and the following taxation periods. The deferred tax rate valid is 30%.
According to the Provisional Article 33 of the Tax Procedural Law, in the financial statements dated 31.12.2023, the tax effects resulting from the inflation correction of
corporate tax are included in the deferred tax calculation as of 31.12.2023.
Deferred tax assets and liability of the Bank and consolidated companies are shown by way of offsetting in separate financial statements of each entity. In the consolidated
financial statements, on the other hand, the deferred tax assets and liabilities that come from the companies as offset are separately involved in the assets and liabilities.

Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC)
In accordance with TRNC tax legislation, 15% income tax is accrued on the remaining tax base after 10% corporate tax is deducted from corporate income. The tax bases
for companies are determined by adding the expenses that cannot be deducted according to TRNC regulations, to commercial gains and by subtracting exemptions and
deductions from commercial gains. Income tax is paid in June, and corporate tax payment is made in two equal installments, in May and in October. On the other hand,
withholding tax is paid in TRNC over interest income and similar gains of the companies. The related withholding tax payments and provisional tax paid every quarter during
the year are deducted from corporate tax payable and the difference between withholding and provisional tax amounts and corporate tax payable is discounted from income
tax provided that the withholding tax and paid provisional tax amounts are higher than corporate tax amount.
England
Although corporate profits in the England are subject to 19% corporate tax, the corporate tax rate has been determined as 25% for companies with commercial profits over
250 thousand GBP as of 01.04.2023. The relevant rate is applied to the tax base that is determined by adding the expenses that cannot be deducted due to the regulations, to
commercial gains and by subtracting exemptions and deductions from commercial gains. In other respect, if the tax base calculated in accordance with the country legislation
is within a certain range, the temporary corporate tax is paid in July, October of the relevant year and in January and April of the following year; If it is over a certain amount, it is
paid in 4 installments in March, June, September and December of the relevant year. The corporate tax amount must be finalized and paid by the end of September of the year
following the year of profit. In case the corporate tax payable as a result of the calculation is below the temporary taxes paid, the difference amount is deducted later or paid
back to the Branch by the authority.
Bahrain
Banks in Bahrain are not subject to tax according to the regulations of the country.
The Republic of Iraq (Iraq)
The corporate tax rate in Iraq is 15%, and the corporate tax is paid on a consolidated basis to the tax office of the foreign bank’s central branch. The first branch established

implementation of exemptions, deductions, addition of disallowable expenses, to the corporate income and that are calculated in accordance with the tax laws. Tax has to be
paid in advance until April, July, October and the 15th day of January of the following year by four installments. If those prepaid taxes are lower than the final corporate tax,

Germany
According to the tax regulations in Germany, corporate gains are subject to 15% corporate tax, 16.7% income and industrial tax. In addition to this, a solidarity tax of 5.5% is
calculated over this corporate tax. The tax bases for corporate, income and industrial services are determined by adding the expenses that cannot be deducted according to

temporary tax payments in four installments and are deducted from the corporate tax that is finalized at the end of the current year.
Russia
According to the Russian regulations, corporate gains are subject to 20% corporate tax. The corporate tax base is determined on accrual basis and it is measured by adding
the non-deductible expenses to the corporate income gained during the period. Companies in Russia make quarterly tax returns and make provisional tax payment by
offsetting the advance taxes paid during the period. Final taxation period for corporate tax is one year and the corporate tax is paid until the 25th of March of the following
year, by considering the provisional taxes paid during the year. Coupon income from government bonds of the Russian Federation and Belarus, as well as the Ruble and some
other private bonds issued by Russian companies after January 1, 2017 and traded on the stock exchange are subject to a corporate tax of 15%. The tax on the income of the
securities in question is paid within the framework of a single tax payment every month, as is the case with the tax on other securities.

subject is found in the “General Communiqué Regarding Camouflage of Earnings through Transfer Pricing”.
According to the aforementioned regulations, in the case of making purchase or sales of goods or services with relevant persons/corporations at a price that is determined
against “arm’s length principle”, the gain is considered to be distributed implicitly through transfer pricing and such distribution of gains is not subject to deductions according
to article 11 of Corporate Tax Law in means of corporate tax.
XXII. Additional Information on Borrowings
The Parent Bank and its consolidated companies, whenever required, generates funds from individuals and institutions residing domestically and abroad by approaching the
borrowing instruments in the form of syndication, securitization, collateralized borrowing and issue of bonds/bills. Such transactions are at first carried at acquisition cost, and in
the following periods they are valued at amortized cost measured by using the effective interest rate method.
Part of the bills issued by the Group with fixed interest and a part of its liabilities with fixed interest are subject to fair value hedge accounting. While the rediscounted credit risk
and accumulated interest amount subject to hedging liability are recognized in “Interest Expenses” under profit/loss statement; net amount resulted of the hedge accounting
other than the credit risk and accumulated interest amount are recognized in “Derivative Financial Transactions Gains/Losses” under profit/loss statement by using fair value
model. In the balance sheet, these valuations are presented with the related liabilities.
XXIII.
Information on Equity Shares and Their Issuance
Share issuance related to costs is recognized as expenses.
Dividend income related with the equity shares are determined by the General Assembly of the Shareholders.
Weighted average number of shares outstanding is taken into account in the calculation of earnings per share. In case the number of shares increases by way of bonus issues
as a result of the capital increases made by using the internal sources, the calculation of earnings per share is made by adjusting the weighted average number of shares, which
were previously calculated as at the comparable periods.
The adjustment means that the number of shares used in calculation is taken into consideration as if the bonus issue occurred at the beginning of the comparable period. In
case such changes in the number of shares occur after the balance sheet date, but before the ratification of the financial statements to be published, the calculation of earnings

1. Credit risk is defined as the possibility of incurring loss where the counterparty in a transaction, partially or completely fails to meet its contractual obligations in due time in
an agreement with the Bank and its consolidated financial subsidiaries.
Banks and financial institutions subject to consolidation, carry out their placement activities in accordance with the credit limitations stipulated by legal regulations of the
countries in which they operate.
The Parent Bank’s position against the credit risk limits defined by the current legislation is monitored by the Board. Within this framework, loans extended to Risk Groups
and the Parent Bank’s Risk Group, including the Parent Bank; loans in high amounts and limitations regarding the shares in participations are monitored according to the limits
determined in connection with the size of the shareholders’ equity calculated on a bank-only and consolidated basis.
Credit risk limits of customers are determined depending on the financial situation and loan requirements of the borrowers, in strict compliance with the relevant banking
legislation, within the framework of loan authorization limits of Branches, Regional Offices, Loan Divisions, and the Deputy Chief Executives responsible for loans, the CEO,
the Credit Committee and the Board of Directors. These limits may be changed as may be deemed necessary by the Bank. Moreover, all commercial credit limits are revised
periodically, provided that each period does not exceed a year. Furthermore, the borrowers and borrower groups forming a large proportion of the overall placement are subject
to risk limits in order to provide further minimization of potential risk.
The geographical distribution of borrowers is consistent with the concentration of industrial and commercial activities in Turkey.
The distribution of borrowers by sector is monitored closely for each period and sectoral risk limits have been determined to prevent concentration of risk in sectoral sense.
The creditworthiness of customers is monitored on a consistent basis by using company rating and scoring models specially developed for this purpose, and the audit of
statements of account received is assured to have been made in accordance with the provisions as stipulated by the relevant legislation.
The Parent Bank and its financial affiliates give utmost importance to ensure that loans are furnished with collaterals. In accordance with the credit risk policy, the allocation
decision is not based on the assumption that the collateral can be collected by redeeming it in principle. However, to minimize the credit risk, an appropriate level of collateral
is obtained by accurately analyzing the credit worthiness and credit need of the customer. Legal recourse of collaterals in case of default, their redemption period, and their
ability to maintain their expected value are taken into account from the beginning of the loan allocation process. Most of the loans extended are collateralized by taking real
estate, movable or commercial enterprise under pledge, promissory notes and other liquid assets as collateral, or by acceptance of bank letters of guarantee and individual or
corporate guarantees. The absence of concentration in terms of collateral is an important element of the credit policy.
Non-performing and impaired loans have been classified in accordance with the “TFRS 9-Financial Instruments” and BRSA’s “Regulation on Procedures and Principles for
Classification of Loans and Provisions to be set aside”. The detailed descriptions of these methods correspond with accounting practices, are included in Section Three Note
VIII.
Credit risk is the risk reduction effects without taking into consideration the total amount of exposures after offsetting transactions with different risk classes according to the
types and amounts of disaggregated risks are listed below the average for the period.

Explanations on Currency Risk
The exposed currency risk of the Group is result of the difference between the assets denominated in and indexed to foreign currencies and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies. Furthermore, parity fluctuations of different foreign currencies are another element of the currency risk.
The currency risk of the Parent Bank is managed by the internal currency risk limits which are established as a part of the Parent Bank’s risk policies. The Assets and Liabilities
Committee and the Assets and Liabilities Management Unit meet regularly to take the necessary decisions for hedging exchange rate and parity risks, within the framework
of the determined by the “Net Foreign Currency Overall Position/ Shareholders’ Equity” ratio, which is a part of the legal limits requirement and the internal currency risk limits
specified by the Board of Directors. Foreign exchange risk management decisions are strictly applied.
In measuring the exposed currency risk of the Group, the Standard Method, the Value at Risk Model (VAR) and Expected Shortfall Model are used as applied in the statutory
reporting.
Measurements made for the Parent Bank within the scope of the Standard Method are carried out on a monthly basis and form the basis of determining the capital requirement
for hedging currency risk.
Risk measurements made within the context of the VAR are practiced on a daily basis using the historical and Monte Carlo simulation methods. Scenario analyses are
conducted to support the calculations made within the VAR context. Expected loss calculations are also carried out daily.
The results of the measurements made on currency risk are reported to the Key Management and the risks are closely monitored by taking into account the market and the
economic conditions.
The Parent Bank’s foreign currency purchase rates at the date of balance sheet and for the last five working days of the period announced by the Parent Bank in
TL are as follows:

Explanations on Interest Rate Risk
a. Interest sensitivity of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items (Based on time remaining to repricing date):
Interest rate risk is defined as the impairment in the value of the interest sensitive assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items due to interest rate fluctuations. A method
which takes into consideration the effect of standard interest shocks on the economic values of the Parent Bank’s on, and off-balance sheet interest sensitive accounts is used
for measuring the interest rate risk arising from the banking accounts, whereas the interest rate risk related to interest sensitive financial instruments followed under trading
accounts is assessed within the scope of market risk.
Potential effects of interest rate risk on the Parent Bank’s assets and liabilities, market developments, the general economic environment and expectations are regularly followed
in meetings of the Asset-Liability Management Committee, where further measures to reduce risk are taken when necessary.
The Parent Bank’s on and off-balance sheet interest sensitive accounts other than the assets and liabilities exposed to market risk are monitored and controlled by the limits
on the ratio of structural interest rate risk to equity and tier 1 capital determined by the Board within the scope of “Asset-Liability Management Risk Policy”. Moreover, scenario
analyses formed in line with the average maturity gaps and the historical data and expectations are also used in the management of the related risk.
In addition, the effect of the change in interest rates on the Parent Bank’s net interest income is analyzed regularly. Within this scope, the ratio of the change expected to occur
in net interest income under carious scenarios to the limit on Tier I capital is monitored and regularly reported to the top management.
Interest rate sensitivity:
In this part, the sensitivity of the Bank’s assets and liabilities to the interest rates has been analyzed assuming that the yearend balance figures were the same throughout the
year. Mentioned analysis shows how the FC and TL changes in interest rates by one point during the one-year period affect the Group’s income accounts and shareholders’
equity under the assumption maturity structure and balances are remain the same all year round at the end of the year.
During the measurement of the Group’s interest rate sensitivity, the profit/loss on the asset and liability items that are evaluated with market value are determined by adding to/
deducting from the difference between the expectancy value of the portfolio after one year in case there is no change in interest rates and the value of the portfolio one year
later, which is measured after the interest shock, the interest income to be additionally earned/to be deprived of during the one year period due to the renewal or repricing of the
related portfolio at the interest rates formed after the interest shock.
On the other hand, in the profit/loss calculation of assets and liabilities that are not evaluated by the current market prices, it is assumed that assets and liabilities with fixed
interest rates will be renewed at maturity date and the assets and liabilities having variable interest rates will be renewed at the end of repricing period with the market interest
rates generated after the interest shock.
Within this context, ceteris paribus, the possible changes that may occur in the Bank’s profit and shareholders’ equity in case of 100 base point increase/decrease in TL and FC
interest rates on the reporting day are given below:

Liquidity risk may occur as a result of funding long-term assets with short-term liabilities. The Groups’ liquidity is managed by the Asset-Liability Management Committee in
accordance with the business strategies, legal requirements, current market conditions and expectations regarding the economic and financial conjuncture.
The Parent Bank’s principal source of funding is deposits. Although the average maturity of deposits is shorter than that of assets as a result of the market conditions, the
Bank’s wide network of branches and stable core deposit base are its most important safeguards of funding. Additionally, the Bank borrows medium and long-term funds from
institutions abroad. Concentration limits are generally used in deposit and non-deposit borrowings in order to prevent adverse effects of concentrations in the liquidity risk
profile of the Bank.
In order to meet the liquidity requirements that may arise from market fluctuations, considerable attention is paid to the need to preserve liquidity and efforts in this respect
are supported by projections of Turkish Lira and Foreign Currency (FC) cash flows. The term structure of TL and FC deposits, their costs and amounts are monitored on
a daily basis. During these studies historical events and future expectations are taken into account as well, based upon cash flow projections, prices are differentiated for
different maturities and measures are taken accordingly to meet liquidity requirements. Moreover, potential alternative sources of liquidity are determined to be used in case of
extraordinary circumstances.
The liquidity risk exposure of the Group has to be within the risk capacity limits which are prescribed by the legislation and the Group’s risk appetite defined in its business
strategy. It is essential for the Group to have an adequate level of unencumbered liquid asset stock which can be sold or pledged, in case a large amount of reduction in liquidity
sources occurs. The level of liquid asset buffer is determined in accordance with the liquidity risk tolerance which is set by the Board of Directors. Asset-Liability Management
Committee is responsible for monitoring the liquidity position, determining appropriate sources of funds and deciding the maturity structure in accordance with the limits which
are set by the Board of Directors.
The Treasury Division is responsible for monitoring the liquidity risk, in accordance with the Asset-Liability Management Risk Policy limits, objectives set out in the business
plan and the decisions taken at the meetings of Asset-Liability Management Committee. The Treasury Division is also responsible for making liquidity projections and taking
necessary precautions to reduce liquidity risk, by using the results of stress testing and scenario analysis. Within this scope, Treasury Division is monitoring the Turkish Lira
(TL) and foreign currency (FC) liquidity position instantly and prospectively based on the information provided from the branches, business units and IT infrastructure of the
Bank. The assessment of long-term borrowing opportunities is carried out regularly in order to balance the cash inflows and outflows and to mitigate the liquidity risk. The Bank
creates liquidity through repurchase agreements and secured borrowings based on the high quality liquid asset portfolio, through securitization and other structured finance
products which are created from the asset pools like credit card receivables and retail loans.
The Bank applies liquidity stress tests to measure liquidity risk. In this approach, in liquidity stress scenarios in which parameters are determined by the Board of Directors, the
ability of the Bank’s liquid assets’ in covering cash outflows within a one-month horizon has been described. Liquidity adequacy limits for TL and FC are determined by Board
of Directors, based on the liquidity requirements and risk tolerance of the Bank. The liquidity risk is measured by the Risk Management Division and results are reported to the
related executive functions, senior management and Board of Directors.
It is essential for the Bank to monitor the liquidity position and funding strategy continuously. In case of a liquidity crisis that may arise from unfavorable market conditions,
extraordinary macroeconomic situations and other reasons which are beyond the control of the Bank. “Emergency Action and Funding Plan” is expected to be commissioned.
In that case, related committees have to report the precautions taken and their results to the Board of Directors through Audit Committee.
The Group’s Foreign Currency (FC) and total (TL+FC) liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) averaged for the last three months are given below.

(1) The simple arithmetic average calculated for the last three months of the monthly simple arithmetic average.
Compared to the prior period, it is observed that in the last quarter of 2023, the total liquidity coverage ratio decreased due to the increase in the total cash outflows, and
foreign currency liquidity coverage ratio decreased due to the decrease in high-quality asset stock. Total and Foreign Currency liquidity coverage ratios are continuing to hover
far above the minimum level (respectively 100% and 80%) pursuant to legal legislations.
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio which has been introduced to ensure banks to preserve sufficient stock of high-quality assets to meet their net cash outflows that may occur
in the short term is calculated as per the Communiqué on “Measurement and Assessment of the Liquidity Coverage Ratio of Banks’ published by BRSA. The ratio is directly
affected by the level of unencumbered high-quality assets which can be liquidated at any time and net cash inflows and outflows arising from the Group’s assets, liabilities and
off-balance sheet transactions.
The Group’s high quality liquid asset stock primarily consists of cash and the accounts held at CBRT and unencumbered government bonds which are issued by Turkish
Treasury.
The Bank’s principal source of funding is deposits. In term of non-deposit borrowing, funds received from repurchase agreements, marketable securities issued, and funds
borrowed from financial institutions are among the most significant funding sources.
In order to manage liquidity effectively, concentration of liquidity sources and usages should be avoided. Due to the strong and stable core deposit base of the Bank, deposits
are received from a diversified customer portfolio. In addition, to provide diversification in liquidity sources and usages, liquidity concentration limits are used effectively. Total
amount of funds borrowed from a single counterparty, or a risk group is closely and instantaneously monitored, taking liquidity concentration limits into account. In addition to
these, the cumulative liquidity deficits that the Parent Bank is exposed to in various maturity tranches are periodically monitored and reported to the senior management.
Cash flows of derivatives that will take place within 30 days are taken into account in calculation of liquidity coverage ratio. Cash outflows of derivatives that arise from margin
obligations, are reflected to the results in accordance with the methodology articulated in the related legislation.
Liquidity risk of the Bank, its foreign branches and subsidiaries that are to be included in consolidation are managed within the regulatory limits and in accordance with the
Group strategies. For the purposes of effectiveness and sustainability of liquidity management, funding sources of Group companies and funding diversification opportunities
in terms of markets, instruments and tenor are evaluated and liquidity position of the group companies are monitored continuously by the Parent Bank.

Explanations on Leverage Ratio
a. Explanations on Differences Between Current and Prior Years’ Leverage Ratios
The Bank’s consolidated leverage ratio is calculated in accordance with the principles of the “Regulation on Measurement and Evaluation of Banks’ Leverage Level”. The Bank’s
consolidated Leverage ratio is 6.44% (December 31, 2022: 8.14%). According to Regulation the minimum leverage ratio is 3%. The changes in the leverage ratio are mostly
due to the increase in the total risk amount.
b. Summary Comparison Table Related to Total Amount of Asset and Risk Situated in The Consolidated Financial Statements Prepared in Accordance with TAS:
The Group is exposed to stock price risk due to its investments in companies being traded on the BIST.
The Group’s sensitivity to stock price risk at the reporting date was measured with an analysis. In the analysis, with the assumption of all other variables were held constant
and the data (stock prices) used in the valuation method are 10 % higher or lower. According to this assumption in shares traded in Borsa Istanbul and followed under Financial
Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss account, expected to have an effect amounting to TL 355,115 increase/decrease.

Strike prices, quotations, market prices determined by the CBRT and published in the Official Gazette and the values calculated by using alternative models, are taken as the
basis in the fair value determination of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Properties that are recorded under tangible assets at fair value by the Bank and consolidated companies are classified in the 3rd level, whereas investment properties are
clasiffied both in the 2nd and 3rd level.
When the prices of the financial assets measured at amortized cost cannot be measured in an active market, fair values are not deemed to be reliably determined and
amortized cost, calculated by the internal rate of return method, are taken into account as the fair values.
Fair values of banks, loans granted, deposits and funds borrowed from other financial institutions are calculated by discounting the amounts in each maturity bracket formed
according to repricing periods, using the rate corresponding to relevant maturity bracket in the discount curves based on current market conditions.
2. Information on fair value measurements recognized in the financial statements
TFRS 13 – “Fair Value Measurement” standard requires the items, which are recognized in the balance sheet at their fair values to be shown in the notes by being classified
within a range. According to this, the related financial instruments are classified into three levels in such a way that they will express the significance of the data used in fair
value measurements. At the first level, there are financial instruments, whose fair values are determined according to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities, at the second level, there are financial instruments, whose fair values are determined by directly or indirectly observable market data, and at the third level, there are
financial instruments, whose fair values are determined by the data, which are not based on observable market data. The financial assets, which are recognized in the balance
sheet at their values, are shown below as classified according to the aforementioned principles of ranking.

General Information on Risk Management and Risk Weighted Amounts
a.
a.1. Risk Management Approach of the Group
The Group is exposed to financial and non-financial risks which are required to be analyzed, monitored and reported within specific risk management principles and with the
perspective of Group risk management. The risk management process is organized within the framework of risk management and serves the creation of a common risk culture
in corporate level; which brings “corporate governance” to forefront, the independence of the internal audit and monitoring units from the business units that undertake risks is
established risk is defined in accordance with international regulations and in this context measurement, analysis, monitoring, reporting and control functions are carried.
Risk management process and the functions involved in the process is one of the primary responsibilities of the Board of Directors. The Risk Committee operates to prepare
the Group’s risk management strategies and policies, submit them to the Board of Directors for approval and monitor the implementations. Evaluating the capital adequacy
and observing the active use of results in planning and decision-making processes, establishing and monitoring limits related to main risks, monitoring the activities of risk
management (determining, defining, measuring, evaluating and managing risk) and monitoring results and methods in measuring risk are also under their authority and
responsibility of the Committee. Committee reports activity results to the Board of Directors through Audit Committee.
The Operational Risk Committee operates to determine strategies and policies for managing operational risks that the Bank may be exposed to, to develop an operational risk
management framework and to strengthen the governance model for operational risks. The Committee reports the results of the activity to the Board of Directors through the
Audit Committee.

Risk Management Department into account and which include the written standards that are implemented by the business units. These policies which are entered into force
in line with the international practices are general standards which contain organization and scope of the risk management function, risk measurement policies, duties and
responsibilities of the risk management group, procedures for determining risk limits, ways to eliminate limit violations, compulsory approvals and confirmations to be given in a
variety of events and situations.
In the aforementioned risk policies, the Group’s risk appetite framework is defined as a set of approaches that determine the risk capacity, the risk appetite, the risk tolerance
and that include the policies, procedures, controls and systems for reporting and monitoring of the limits set for the Group’s risk profile and the indicators in the framework.
The Group’s risk appetite framework, which is formed in accordance with the above-mentioned factors and entered into force with the Board of Directors approval, includes
indicators that are aligned with the business plan, the strategic programme, capital and remuneration planning and comparable on a business unit level to the extent possible.
The compliance to the limits within the framework is periodically monitored and the realization of the risk appetite indicators are reported to the Risk Committee and the Boards
on a monthly basis.
In order to build a strong corporate culture that has a risk management perspective, the Group has policies, processes, systems and a control system that is integrated with
the risk management system. All employees of the Group essentially perform their duties in a responsible manner that aims to develop controls to reduce or eliminate the
probability of the Group to incur losses related to the operational risks. In the process risk analysis studies, risks and the related controls are evaluated together with employees
performing the relevant process in a holistic approach. Procedures to be followed in case of a risk threshold breach and risk definitions are given in the risk politics. Code of
conducts, operation manuals, the sharing of duties between business units and risk units are announced to staff.
The risk reports that analyse the results reached by the Parent Bank and the comprehensive risk assessment and comparison of these results with a risk management
perspective are periodically submitted to the Risk Committee and to the Board through the Audit Committee. The content of the above-mentioned reports could be
summarised as follows:
Capital adequacy ratio, the progression of the components of this ratio and the issues that affect the aforementioned ratio,
Monitoring the compliance status of the limits set by the Board of Directors as a part of therisk appetite framework and based on the components of the main risk types,
In addition to the assesment of the loan portfolio on the basis of counterparties and loan types, monitoring of the portfolio as a whole according to parameters such as

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statement For The Year Ended
December 31, 2023
As per the communique on “Bank’s Internal Systems and Internal Capital Adequacy and Assessment Process” and “Guidelines for Stress Testing of Banks to Use in Capital
and Liquidity Planning”, stress tests are conducted for the entire risks that the Group is exposed to and on the basis of significant risk categories. As a part of the holistic
stress tests, risk appetite, capital planning, strategic plan and budget, action plans for emergencies and unexpected situations related to miscellaneous risks and other issues
considered as significant are taken into consideration. In the above-mentioned stress tests, the methods that form the basis of regulatory reporting (standard method for credit
and market risk, basic indicator method for operational risk) are used. On the other hand, in the stres tests for individual risk types the most advanced approaches used for risk
measurement in the Parent Bank are leveraged.
In the stress tests, both the first pillar risks (credit risk, market risk, operational risk) in scope of the regulatory framework and all the other risks that the Group is exposed to
independent of the regulatory framework are taken into account in a holistic perspective. In determining the course of capital adequacy under various scenarios during the
planning horizon, the actions that the Group will take in case of stress conditions and the impact of the diversified growth strategies of business units on the capital adequacy
and the balance sheet are considered.
The levels at which the capital adequacy ratio of the Bank will reach are estimated and monitored with stress tests. In addition, reverse stress tests are carried out regularly, by
determining the problematic loan growth rate and increase in exchange rates, which will cause the Bank’s capital adequacy to fall within the legal limits.
The scope and content of the Parent Bank’s risk management system in terms of the main risk types are listed below. Risk mitigation strategies and processes for the
assessment of their effectiveness are given in Fourth Section II No. “Explanations on Credit Risk” under the Fourth Chapter XI-c.2 notes. No. “The Public Disclosure of
Qualitative Information Related to the Market Risk “ mentioned in the section.

Qualitative and quantitative methods are used in a combination for measurement and evaluation of the operational risks. In this process, information use that obtained
from “Impact-Probability Analysis”, “Missing Event Data Analysis”, “Risk Indicators”, “Scenario Analysis”, “Top-Down Risk Assessment”, “Internal Model” methods. Methods
prescribed by legal regulations are applied as minimum in determining the capital requirement level for the operating risk.
Operational Risk Committee, the management of operational risks that the bank may be exposed for the determination of policies and strategies, the development of an
operational risk management framework and operational risks include activities with the aim of strengthening the governance model. The Committee works in cooperation with
the Risk Committee and reports the results of its activities to the Board of Directors through the Audit Committee.

validity of models with statistical methods, to examine the quality of the data used in the model development phase and the conceptual soundness of the selected methods,
and to evaluate the health of the processes created for the use of the models.The results of the validation activities are reported to the Risk Committee and the Board of
Directors.

c.1.4. Additional Information on Credit Quality of Assets
Bank’s methods for determining provision amounts and classification of its loans are mentioned in the Section Three Note VIII.
The bank is restructuring its loans classified as first and second group as well as non-performing loans and receivables. Restructuring in performing loans are made by granting
a new loan or extending the term date of credit given to customer by Bank with changing conditions of contract aiming the enhancing of solvency of customer or customer’s
demand. Restructuring in non-performing loans are generally made by establishing a new redemption plan within the context of a protocol aiming the collection of those
receivables whose redemption plan are not valid because of delinquency previously.
The breakdown of receivables in terms of geographic regions, sectors and remaining maturities are represented in “Explanations on Credit Risk” in the Fourth Section note II.
On the basis of sector-based provisions for receivables are presented in the footnote numbered Section Four II-16. The amounts of the receivables that are set aside for the
geographical regions are as follows. The amount of non-performing loans which are written off in 2023 is TL 3,202,500.

Explanations on Counterparty credit risk
d.1.
Qualitative Disclosures on Counterparty Credit Risk Approach
The counterparty credit risk that the Parent Bank exposed to is managed within the framework of general limit allocation and credit risk mitigaiton that are outlined the Credit
Risk Policy of the Bank. In setting general credit limits, the counterparty credit risks of customers as well as their cash and noncash risks are taken into account with a holistic
view. Moreover, the total position of the transactions which create counterparty credit risk is also monitored under a separate risk limit.
The counterparty credit risk, which stems from derivatives and repo like transactions including transactions with qualified central counterparties that result in liabilities for both
sides, is measured according to the Appendix-2 and Appendix-4 of the “Regulation on Measurement and Evaluation of Capital Adequacy of Banks” Counterparty credit risk
valuation method based on the calculation of fair values of the derivative transactions is implemented. In the process of calculating the counterparty credit risk, the Standard
Approach is used to determine the risk amounts of derivative transactions. In calculating the risk amount related to derivative transactions; 1.4 times the sum of potential credit
risk amounts and positive replacement costs is charged.
Most of the credit risk related to the derivative transactions with other banks is subject to daily collateral clearing agreements mutually signed with related parties and the
counterparty credit risk is hence reduced. There are no guarantees received or sold by credit derivatives by the Bank in the context of trading or banking accounts.

The procedures for the management of market risk are discussed in the Parent Bank’s “Asset and Liability Management Risk Policy” and those procedures are in line with the
risk/return expectations and with the limits that are defined in the risk appetite framework. Limits related to market risk; are established by the Board and are revised periodically
in order to reflect market conditions and best practices in the industry. Compliance to those limits is closely monitored by the Risk Management Department, Asset and Liability
Management Committee and by the executive departments. Additionally, compliance with the provisions relating to the procedures and policies of market risk management is
audited by the internal audit system.
Trading activities of the securities that are included in the calculation of market risk is carried out by taking the Asset-Liability Management Committee decisions, risk policies
and established limits into consideration and risks arising due to these activities are hedged using derivatives transactions where necessary.
Measurement of market risk, reporting of results, and monitoring compliance with the risk limits are among the key responsibilities of the Risk Management Department.
Analyses related to market risk are reported to the Risk Committee and to the Board via the Audit Committee by the Risk Management Department.
The trading book of the Parent Bank included in market risk calculations consists of on balance-sheet financial assets that are held for trading intent, derivatives that provide
hedge to those instruments and foreign currency positions. The market risk carried by the Group is measured and monitored using methods known respectively as the
Standard Method and the Value at Risk Model (VAR) and Expected Shortfall in accordance with the local regulations which are established in compliance with the international
legislations. In this context, the exchange rate risk emerges as the most important component of the market risk.
The market risk calculations using the Standard Method are performed at the end of each month and the measurement results are included in the statutory reports as well as
being reported to the Bank’s top management.
The Value at Risk Model and Expected Shortfall is another alternative for the Standard Method used for measuring and monitoring market risk. This model is used to measure
the market risk on a daily basis in terms of interest rate risk, currency risk and equity share risk and is a part of the Bank’s daily internal reporting. Further retrospective testing
(back-testing) is carried out on a daily basis to determine the reliability of the daily risk calculation by the VAR model, which is used to estimate the maximum possible loss for
the following day.
Scenario analyses which support the VAR model used to measure the losses that may occur in the ordinary market conditions are practiced, and the possible impacts of
scenarios that are developed based on the future predictions and the past crises, on the value of the Bank’s portfolio are determined and the results are reported to the Bank’s
top management.

TL deposits and other liabilities, between 20 - 30% for FC deposits and precious metal deposit accounts and between 5% - 21% for other FC liabilities. As of 08.07.2023, 5
points will be added to the required reserve ratios, application has been removed as of 18.08.2023, determined for FX deposits and precious metal deposit accounts for banks
whose share of TL deposits calculated for real and legal persons in total deposits is less than 57%.

According to the Communiqué on Required Reserves published in the Official Gazette dated 31.12.2022 and numbered 32060, the possibility of establishing Turkish lira
required reserves in gold terminated as of 23.06.2023.
The annual 8% commission application, which is applied by differentiating according to the Turkish lira share, has been abolished as of 01.09.2023. As of 29.09.2023,
differentiated according to the transition from accounts provided with exchange rate protection support by the Central Bank to Turkish lira accounts and the renewal of these
accounts, an annual commission of 8% has been introduced.
With the press release of the CBRT dated 27.10.2023, it was announced that a change was made in the commission application according to the renewal and transition to TL
rate and the commission application according to the TL share. Accordingly, while the commission rate of banks with a conversion rate of less than 100% will be between 6%
and 8%. If the banks with a conversion rate of 100% and above will have a conversion rate of 10% to TL and a renewal rate of 75% and above commission will not be applied.
For banks that fall below the target in any of the relevant ratios, a commission equal to the remaining portion will be calculated. On the other hand, the renewal rate target has
been abolished and the TL transition rate target has been increased from 10% to 15%, effective after 22.12.2023. In addition, a commission rate of 2% will be applied if the TL
share calculation for real persons remains below 0.5% and 2.2% points, differentiated according to the TL share levels compared to the calculation period four weeks ago, and
1% if the TL share calculated for legal entities remains below the TL share calculated according to 18.08.2023, a commission rate of 1% will be applied

Receivables classified as non-performing loans are collected primarily within the framework of administrative contacts with the debtors, and if no result is obtained, through
legal means. In this context, if our uncollected receivables are deleted from assets, one of the methods of destruction, receivable sale and deregistration can be applied.
In the Bank’s write-off policy within the framework following the amendment made in Article 53 of the Banking Law with the Law on Income Tax and amending Certain Laws
No. 19.07.2019/7186, along with the “Classification of Loans and the Procedures and Principles for the Reserves to be Allocated for Them” published in the Official Gazette No.
27.11.2019 / 30961, the following statements are issued:
396
The portion of the receivables, which are followed under the Fifth Group-Loans with a Loss Qualification and for which a lifetime expected credit loss provision has been
made due to the default of the debtor, for which there is no reasonable expectation of its collection, can be write-off to the extent of the maximum provision amount,
Write-off is an accounting practice and does not result in the waiver of the receivable,
The Bank’s general policy for write-offs of receivables under follow-up is to write of such receivables that are proven to be uncollectible in legal follow-up process within the
instructions of Tax Procedure Law.

Türkiye Sınai Kalkınma Bankası
Türkiye’s first privately-owned development and investment bank
TSKB, as a leader among the privately-owned development and
investment banks, has undertaken a significant role in Türkiye’s
economic development since its incorporation in 1950. The Bank
continues to add sustainable value for stakeholders and the national
economy with the value it generates in economic, environmental
and social areas. Offering its customers a wide range of innovative
services with its in-depth knowledge in corporate banking,
investment banking and advisory services, TSKB has adopted it
as its mission to contribute continued and increasing support to
the inclusive and sustainable development of the country. Within
the scope of the resources obtained from development finance
institutions and international financial institutions, TSKB provides
loans in the area of renewable energy and adaptation, as well as
social loans related to women’s employment, supporting employment
management in underdeveloped areas, and indirectly transfers
funds to SMEs’ investments in diverse sectors through APEX loans
provided to financial institutions.
TSKB, which works for Türkiye's development and sustainable
growth, ranked in the lowest risk group with 6.9 points as a result of
a 1-point improvement in the Environmental, Social and Governance
(ESG) risk rating conducted by Sustainalytics, an independent
organisation specialised in its field, as of November 2023, and
maintained its 1st place position in Türkiye, rose to 9th place among
development banks in the world, and ranked among the top 10 banks
in the global banking sector. The corporate governance rating of
430
the Bank, which is also among the leading institutions in corporate
governance, increased from 9.59 to 9.66 out of 10 in the 2023
October period.
In 2023, TSKB secured USD 1.1 billion in funding, including funding
agreements signed with development finance institutions. In April
2023, the Republic of Türkiye signed a EUR 100 million "Climate
Finance Loan" agreement with the German Development Bank
(KfW) to be extended to TSKB. With this financing, TSKB will support
climate-focused investments in Türkiye. In addition to this funding,
the International Climate Initiative (IKI) will provide TSKB with a grant
of EUR 10 million. In May 2023, TSKB and the Austrian Development
Bank (OeEB) signed a new EUR 25 million loan agreement to finance
renewable energy and energy efficiency investments. In July 2023,
TSKB renewed its sustainability criteria-indexed syndicated loan,
which it had obtained in previous years, for the fourth time this year
with differentiated criteria. The USD 123 million loan agreement
signed on 19 July was successfully completed with the participation
of 9 banks from Europe, America, Asia and the Middle East, including
2 new participants, with a renewal rate of 113%. In 2016, TSKB issued
the first green/sustainable bond for Türkiye and the CEEMEA region
and in September 2023, TSKB issued its fourth sustainable bond
amounting to USD 300 million. With the participation of 70 different
investors, approximately 2.8 times the demand was collected and
40% of the investors were ESG-focused investors. In December
2023, TSKB added a new one to its innovative financing practices
with the vision of providing qualified support to Türkiye's sustainable
and inclusive development and signed a USD 155 million "Türkiye
Green Fund" loan agreement with the World Bank (IBRD) under
the guarantee of the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Treasury and
Finance. On the other hand, TSKB, which continues to support
qualified investment projects for the redevelopment of earthquake
zones, signed a new financing agreement in this field in December
2023. Having secured USD 100 million in funding from the Islamic
Development Bank, TSKB continues to support ecosystem
restorative recovery. Again in December 2023, TSKB signed a
new USD 200 million loan agreement with the Japan Bank for
International Cooperation (JBIC) to finance renewable energy, energy
efficiency, water and waste management and advanced technology-
supported energy efficiency investments that serve the green
transformation of companies affected by earthquakes. This funding
agreement, which will provide a significant support to the qualified
development of our country through permanent green recovery
investments, was realised with the guarantee of the Republic of
Türkiye Ministry of Treasury and Finance.
TSKB is one of Türkiye's leading institutions in the field of
sustainability, taking into account the environmental and social
impact dimensions of all investment and operating loans it extends.
Currently, the share of the Bank's Sustainable Development Goals
(SDG) related loans in the total portfolio is 90 percent, while the
share of loans contributing to climate and environment-related SDGs
is 62 percent. In 2019, TSKB broke new ground and became the
first institution in the Turkish finance sector to publish an Integrated
Report. In 2016, the Bank broke new ground in Türkiye and the
CEEMEA region with its Green/Sustainable Bond issuance, and
in March 2017, the Bank issued the first subordinated sustainable
bond in the world. In 2019, TSKB became a signatory to the UNEP-FI
Principles for Responsible Banking. In the same year, TSKB joined the
Management Committee of IDFC, of which it has been a member
together with leading international development banks since 2011,
as the 10th member. In October 2022, the Bank became a signatory
to the Net-Zero Banking Alliance established by the United Nations
Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and committed
to align its loan and investment portfolio with zero emission targets by
2050. In 2023, TSKB took decisive steps forward in its climate risks
roadmap and signed another pioneering practice by announcing its
"Approved Science-Based Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction
Targets". The Bank's emissions from its loan and investment portfolio,
which correspond to 53% of its total assets, and the operational
emissions reduction targets announced in previous years have been
approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
On 17 January 2024, Moody's affirmed TSKB's Adjusted Core and
Core Credit Ratings of "caa1" and Long-Term Foreign and Domestic
Currency Issuer Ratings of "B3" and revised the outlooks of the
ratings from "Stable" to "Positive" for TSKB, which had a consolidated
shareholders' equity of TL 22 billion and total assets of TL 181 billion
as of end-December 2023.

Total energy consumption including energy sources covers electricity natural
gas, fuel-oil, coal and diesel consumption figures. Electricity consumption
was initially calculated in kWh and then converted to GJ. In this conversion, 1
kWh = 0.0036 GJ conversion factor was used.
In 2023, monthly natural gas consumption is calculated in cubic meters,
coal consumption in kilograms, and fuel oil and diesel consumption for
heating purposes in liters. Subsequently, natural gas consumption figures are
converted to kilowatt-hours (kWh) using the monthly lower calorific values
as indicated on the invoices. The total of these monthly consumptions,
converted to kWh, is then further converted to gigajoules (GJ) using the
specified conversion factor and added to the total energy consumption.
Reporting boundary for this KPI covers Türkiye operations of İş Bankası.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions:
Scope 1 Emissions (tCO2e)
Scope 2 Emissions (tCO2e)
Scope 3 Emissions (tCO2e)
It indicates the carbon equivalent of greenhouse gas emissions calculated in
carbon dioxide equivalent units throughout the reporting period, stemming
from energy consumption and refrigerant gases.
The greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the activities of Türkiye İş
Bankası have been calculated by Demir Enerji, a consultancy providing
services in the fields of Climate Change and Carbon Management, in
accordance with the Corporate Greenhouse Gas Accounting and Reporting
Protocol (The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Revised Corporate Accounting
and Reporting Standard).
Greenhouse gas emissions are calculated in 3 different scopes: Scope 1
(Direct Greenhouse Gas Emissions), Scope 2 (Indirect Greenhouse Gas
Emissions) and Scope 3 (Other Indirect Greenhouse Gas Emissions).
IPCC 5th Assessment Report factors were used for emission factors.
Network Emission Factor has been calculated in accordance with the data
provided by TEİAŞ. Direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scope 1) and
indirect energy greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scope 2) were made
according to the GHG Protocol – According to location-based criterion.
Other indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scope 3) are reported
according to the GHG Protocol. DEFRA emission factors were used for air
travel emissions and Environmental Paper Network emission factors were
used for paper consumption.
While calculating greenhouse gas emissions, the following sources causing
carbon emissions were considered:
Scope 1 Emissions*:
Natural gas, diesel, LPG, fuel oil and coal consumption for heating
purposes,
Fuels used in generators (Diesel),
Company vehicles fuel Consumption (Diesel and Gasoline)
Refrigerants (Leaks reported during installation and maintenance phases
are taken into account)
Scope 2 Emissions*:
Electricity consumption
Scope 3 Emissions*:
Fuel consumption of personnel service vehicles,
International business travels (Flight, Bus, Taxi),
Local business travels (Flight, Bus, Taxi),
Paper consumption,
Fuel consumption of private car used for business purposes.

Total Water Consumption (m3)
Total network water consumption (m3)
Total rainwater consumption (reclaimed/reused water) (m3)
Total drinking water consumption (m3)
Total amount of wastewater (m3)
In Türkiye operations, locally provided network water and rainwater are
utilized. The reporting scope includes the total amount of water consumed
for various purposes. Water consumption is categorized into three distinct
categories: Network water, Rainwater, and Drinking water. The total network
water encompasses the amount of water purchased from municipalities or
other authorized suppliers such as ISKI. Consumption data is tracked from
invoices and credit top-ups on metered counters. Throughout the year,
consumption across all locations is monitored and reported.
For a small number of service buildings (78), where consumption quantities
cannot be directly determined, estimated consumption information has
been calculated based on the number of employees according to TS1258
standards.
Rainwater is collected via rainwater collection channels installed in the
General Directorate buildings, filtered, and then stored after which its
usage is measured and monitored by building management through meter
readings. Rainwater constitutes the amount of reclaimed/reused water.
Total drinking water refers to the amount of drinking water consumed in the
General Directorate buildings (İş Kuleleri Tower 1, ATOM, TUTOM). Drinking
water for these buildings is supplied through water tankers, bottled water,
and bottled water, and has been monitored since 2021. In service buildings
certified with ISO14001, drinking water is supplied through bottled and
container water. Water consumed in service buildings is not included in the
reporting scope.
The total amount of wastewater is calculated as the sum of network water
purchased and rainwater collected, which is then reused for various activities
and subsequently classified as wastewater.

Projects undergoing ERET evaluation process are evaluated with reference
regulations such as national, environmental and international regulations,
“Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption”, “Ethical Principles”, “Human Rights” and
“Sustainability” trainings are covered by the training modules including those
subjects. Calculations for this indicator consider the number of employees
participated in those trainings and the amount of time allocated to those
issues within these trainings. There are no trainings directly devoted to
“Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption”, “Ethical Principles”, “Human Rights”
and “Sustainability” issues within the Bank. However, these issues have
been addressed within certain training programs for certain periods of time.
Therefore, when calculating the total hours of training and the number of
participants, the time allocated for these titles is taken into account within the
existing training programs. On the other hand, when calculating the training
periods, the duration of the training given in these areas in the training
programs organized by the Board of Inspectors for the Board Members are
not included.
The subject of human rights is also mentioned in the course of " Law on
Private Security Services and Individual Rights”, which is provided to private
security personnel as part of the renewal trainings at certain time intervals.
This subject was not included in calculations, since it is a subject mentioned
within the 10-hour renewal trainings provided by different suppliers in
different provinces.
Calculations for total hours of information security trainings, considered the
number of employees participated in trainings covering information security
related issues (cyber security, social engineering, and information security
etc.) and the number of hours devoted those subjects.
ੵ Hours of training per newly recruited employees in the first year

It is calculated by taking into account the ratio of total working hours of
employees who are exposed to temporary or permanent occupational
diseases due to a recurring reason caused by the nature of the work or due

following: “(Number of Occupational Diseases * 200,000) / Total Working
Hours”.
ੵ Absentee Rate (AR)
Covers the ratio of lost work hours to total work hours. This calculation uses
the formula “Lost work hours/Total human work hours”.

members and representatives working on the committees
The indicator covers the number of OHS committees established at İş
Bankası buildings with an employee population of 50 or more, in accordance

In 2023, the paper savings information was determined taking into account
the number of pages of contracts issued with digital approval, the number of
letters sent via KEP messages, and the number of digitally signed receipts.
Since our bank's receipts are in A5 size, the number of digitally signed
receipts was divided by 2 for the standard A4 calculation. The number
of KEP messages was multiplied by 2 based on the average of 2 pages
per letter determined through the examination of samples. The figures for
digital approval and KEP messages were obtained from reports created for
monitoring these applications. The number of digitally signed receipts was
obtained through a database query.

Management's responsibilities
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Report for the Selected Information in accordance with the İş Bankası’s Reporting Guidance
as described in the Report, and the information and assertions contained within it; for determining the İş Bankası’s objectives in respect of sustainable development
performance and reporting, including the identification of stakeholders and material issues; and for establishing and maintaining appropriate performance manage-
ment and internal control systems from which the reported performance information is derived.
Management is responsible for preventing and detecting fraud and for identifying and ensuring that İş Bankası complies with laws and regulations applicable to its
activities.
Management is also responsible for ensuring that staff involved with the preparation and presentation of the description and the Selected Information are properly
trained, information systems are properly updated and that any changes in reporting encompass all significant business units.
Our responsibilities
Our responsibility is to carry out a independent limited assurance engagement and to express a conclusion based on the work performed. We conducted our en-
gagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000, Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical
Financial Information, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. That Standard requires that we plan and perform the engagement to
obtain limited assurance about whether the Selected Information is free from material misstatement.
We apply the International Standard on Quality Control 1 (ISQC1) and, in conformity with this Standard, maintain a comprehensive system of quality control includ-
ing documented policies and procedures regarding the compliance with ethical principles, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics
Standards Board for Accountants, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and
professional behavior.
Procedures performed
A limited assurance engagement on a Selected Information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for the preparation of information present-
ed in the Selected Information, and applying analytical and other evidence gathering procedures, as appropriate. These procedures included:
䫿 Interviews with relevant staff at the corporate and business unit level responsible for providing the information in the Selected Information,
䫿 Using the Reporting Guidance of the Report to measure and evaluate the Selected Information,
䫿 Evaluating the design and implementation of key processes and controls over the Selected Information,
䫿 Re-performing, on a sample basis, the calculations used to prepare the Selected Information for the reporting period,
䫿 Evaluating the disclosure and presentation of the Selected Information in the Report to determine whether it is in line with our overall knowledge of, and experi-
ence with, the sustainability performance of İş Bankası,
䫿 Comparing the information presented in the Selected Information to corresponding information in the relevant underlying sources to determine whether all the
relevant information contained in such underlying sources has been included in the Selected Information,
䫿 Reading the information presented in the Selected Information to determine whether it is in line with our overall knowledge of, and experience with, the sustain-
ability performance of İş Bankası.
The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less wide than a reasonable assurance engagement. Conse-
quently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is lower than that of a reasonable assurance engagement.
Inherent limitations
Due to the inherent limitations of any internal control structure it is possible that errors or irregularities in the information presented in the Selected Information may
occur and not be detected. Our engagement is not designed to detect all weaknesses in the internal controls over the preparation and presentation of the Selected
Information, as the engagement has not been performed continuously throughout the period and the procedures performed were undertaken on a test basis.
Conclusion
Our conclusion has been formed on the basis of, and is subject to, the matters outlined in this report.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusions.
Based on the procedures performed and the evidence obtained, as described above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Selected
Information as defined in the Report of İş Bankası for the year ended 31 December 2023 is not presented, in all material respects, in accordance with the İş
Bankası’s internally developed reporting criteria as explained in the Reporting Guidance.
In accordance with the terms of our engagement, this independent limited assurance report on the Selected Information has been prepared for İş Bankası in con-
nect with reporting to İş Bankası and for no other purpose or in any other context.
Restriction of use of our report
Our report should not be regarded as suitable to be used or relied on by any party wishing to acquire rights against us other than İş Bankası, for any purpose or in
any other context. Any party other than İş Bankası who obtains access to our report or a copy thereof and chooses to rely on our report (or any part thereof) will do
so at its own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept or assume no responsibility and deny any liability to any party other than İş Bankası for our work,
for this independent limited assurance report, or for the conclusions we have reached.
