Odeabank Wins 2014 IFM Award for 'Best Customer Service Bank, Turkey'

LONDON, December 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

London-based International Finance Magazine has conferred the 'Best Customer Service Bank' award in Turkey to Odeabank. The award was presented on November 18 by the honourable Lord Sheikh, Baron Sheikh of Cornhill, House of Lords; Sheikh Bilal Khan, UK Catalyst at UKTI and Co-Chairman of Dome Advisory and Peter Meyer, CEO, Middle East Association at a gala dinner in the ball room of the Jumeirah Carlton Tower in London.

The bank laid its foundations in 2012, through the investment of its shareholder Bank Audi Group Odeabank is now the 13th largest deposit bank. This is a great achievement considering that there is tremendous competition in the Turkish banking sector.

Huseyin Ozkaya, General Manager, Odeabank said: "We are very honoured to receive the Best Customer Service Bank Turkey 2014 award from International Finance Magazine. As a bank established in 2012, we are very excited by the international recognition, which is a clear testimony of our efforts to strive to be one of the best banks operating in Turkey. Last two years have been an amazing journey for all of us where we did not only have the challenge of establishing a bank from scratch but also distinguishing ourselves from our peers by constantly investing on the technology and the way we serve our customers. Receiving this award makes us feel more confident about our future endeavours, bringing out new innovative services and products for our customers."

Being one of the few economies in Europe to grow, Turkey's banking and financial sector has seen tremendous growth in the past 5-6 years. Istanbul, Turkey's commercial centre, is making a bid to become a financial hub.
