Anadolu Cetelem Alternatifbank
Alternatifbank A.Ş.

Having survived the financial crisis of 2001 and 2002 with the support of its major shareholders, Alternatifbank now targets to be a leading wholesale institution in the newly consolidated and restructured Turkish banking sector. In this context, the bank withdrew from consumer lending activities in 2002, while continuing to serve the clients in the individual banking area with the main focus in depository and asset management services.

The bank's ambitious targets in corporate banking are planned to be achieved through offering tailor-made and niche products to predominantly large and medium-size enterprises where major foreign and domestic institutions have less access.

While the bank takes great care in ensuring the continuity of close relationship with the Anadolu Group companies, it also seeks to realize revenue synergies by providing services at competitive levels to these companies as a preferred partner. Loan exposure to Group companies has been traditionally limited and one of the lowest within the banking sector.

The Group has injected a total of US$83mn into Alternatifbank since 2001 and the bank's capital adequacy ratio stood at 12% as of 2002-end, above the required 8% level.
