OYAK ANKER Bank

What OYAK ANKER Bank does

OYAK ANKER Bank GmbH is a German private bank headquartered at Lyoner Straße 9 in Frankfurt am Main, regulated by BaFin and operating since 1958. It is a subsidiary of the OYAK Group (Ordu Yardımlaşma Kurumu, a Turkish institutional investor and conglomerate), which provides strategic backing, brand heritage, and a differentiated positioning in Europe-Turkey cross-border banking. The firm runs two business lines: a retail deposit and consumer credit franchise serving private individuals with savings products (Tagesgeld, Festgeld) and personal loans (Privatkredite / Mein Wunschkredit), and a corporate banking franchise focused on SMEs engaged in Europe-Turkey trade, providing export/import financing, letters of credit, letter-of-credit discounting, documentary collections, and corporate deposit accounts.

The bank's product platform is built on a Microsoft ASP.NET MVC web stack with session-based authentication (10-minute SessionID lifetime), anti-CSRF tokens (_RequestVerificationToken), and Adobe-PDF-based document workflows, complemented by a newly launched mobile banking application and a fully digital online account opening flow (onlineantrag.oyakankerbank.de) supporting video or postal legitimation. A June 2025 joint statement with Mambu and Innovance signals an ongoing core-banking modernization toward a cloud-native architecture. Distribution is primarily digital self-service for retail customers and direct relationship management (phone + dedicated treasury inbox) for corporate clients, with no physical branch network advertised across DACH markets (Germany, Austria, Switzerland).

Revenue is generated primarily from net interest spread on retail and corporate deposits, interest on personal and trade finance loans, and transaction fees on documentary services. Deposits are protected up to €100,000 per depositor under the German Einlagensicherung scheme, providing a regulatory trust anchor underpinning customer acquisition across German-speaking markets and the Turkish diaspora in Europe.
