What Sorubankasi.net does

Sorubankasi.net is a Turkish online distance-learning platform specializing in preparation for competitive civil-service and academic examinations, including KPSS (A, B, ÖABT, EB), ALES, DGS, Kaymakamlık, Hakimlik, SMMM, LGS, and more recently AGS and YDS/YÖKDİL. Operated by SBNET UZAKTAN EĞİTİM YAYINCILIK SANAYİ VE TİCARET LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ from its headquarters in Buca, Izmir, the platform serves individual learners primarily in Turkey and has cumulatively served over 40,000 ALES students. The product suite is built around live interactive classes delivered via Zoom, recorded 4K on-demand video lessons, intensive camps, education coaching, authored textbooks, and a KPSS podcast series, with native iOS and Android apps extending delivery to mobile.

The underlying technology stack is a standard e-learning/LMS architecture: Zoom handles live streaming, PayTR processes payments, and Turkish bank installment networks (Axess, Bonus, Maximum, Paraf, World) reduce purchasing friction on packages priced between 500 TL and 19,999 TL. Free top-of-funnel assets — SEO-optimized content, YouTube, Instagram, a Paragraf Oku reading-comprehension module, and a DGS score calculator — feed a self-serve, product-led acquisition funnel. Revenue is generated through multi-year, exam-cycle-aligned course subscriptions, on-demand video purchases, physical/digital book sales, and supplementary coaching and podcast subscriptions; the company is KVKK-compliant for Turkish data-protection requirements.
