Kepkur

What Kepkur does

KEPKUR (legal name: KepKur Yazılım Bilişim Kayıtlı Elektronik Posta Hizmetleri San. Ve Tic. A.Ş.) is a privately held Turkish joint stock company headquartered in Ankara that operates as a licensed Registered Electronic Mail (KEP) service provider. Its core product is a KEP platform built on public key infrastructure (PKI) that delivers electronic mail with the same legal validity as a wet signature under Turkish Commercial Law Articles 18 and 1525, with 20-year message preservation, immutable send/delivery/read timestamps, cryptographic sender and recipient identity verification, and non-repudiation guarantees. KEPKUR is regulated by BTK (Information Technologies and Communication Authority), maintains ISO 27001 certification, and operates in compliance with Turkey's KVKK (Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698). Customers access accounts via a webmail portal (webmail.kepkur.com.tr) or in person at 55 offices nationwide, with e-imza (electronic signature) obtainable alongside a KEP account in a single 30-minute visit.

The company monetizes through a subscription-plus-usage hybrid: annual KEP address subscriptions priced at 520 TL (1-year), 969 TL (2-year), and 1,215 TL (3-year), with 100MB included free; usage-based message credits (kontör) sold in bundles from +10 (275 TL) to +1,000 (12,350 TL) messages; tiered mailbox storage add-ons from 100MB to 10GB billed monthly via kontör; and an SMS notification add-on at 0.25 kontör per SMS. Sales occur through an online portal at satis.e-tugra.com.tr (an E-Tuğra-operated sales platform used as the integration partner for online applications) and 55 physical offices across Turkey. Customer segments are horizontal and include Turkish merchants (Tacirler) legally required to use KEP under Article 18 of the Turkish Commercial Code, public institutions and government entities for official correspondence, individual citizens for personal legal communications, and corporate/organization users with multi-user accounts.

KEPKUR has 1–10 reported employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no parent or subsidiary structure, and no app or API offering. Its primary moats are regulatory (BTK licensing), distribution (55-office physical footprint), and moderate switching costs tied to KEP address portability. The strategic core is compliance-driven adoption — replacing notarized courier mail with court-admissible electronic correspondence — anchored to the bundling of e-imza and KEP in a single visit.
