Freedom Holding Corp. Receives BRSA Approval to Acquire Turkish Bank
The approval moves Freedom Holding closer to closing a 99.32% purchase and expanding its integrated financial services platform in Türkiye.
On Wednesday, Freedom Holding Corp. received regulatory approval from Turkey's Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency and Competition Authority to acquire 99.32% of Turkish Bank's share capital.
The acquisition will integrate Turkish Bank into Freedom's platform alongside its brokerage, investment, and capital markets businesses, supporting the Group's regional strategy across Eurasia and the Middle East.
Founder Timur Turlov stated that Freedom plans to modernize Turkish Bank through digital transformation, aiming to replicate the digital ecosystem model that has proven successful in Kazakhstan.
"We will combine the heritage of an established Turkish banking institution with Freedom," said H. Cenk Eynehan, Chief Executive Officer of Freedom Finansal Hizmetler, emphasizing integration priorities.
Nasdaq-Listed Freedom Holding continues expanding across Eurasia and the Middle East, having recently applied for a banking license in France where it plans to invest €500 million in its digital ecosystem.
The Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK) and the Competition Authority have officially approved Freedom Holding's acquisition of 99.32% of Turkish Bank's shares.
