What ISBANK GEORGIA does

JSC Isbank Georgia is a Georgia-incorporated commercial bank operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Türkiye İş Bankası, Turkey's largest private bank. Founded as a foreign branch in Batumi in July 2012 and reorganized into a joint-stock subsidiary in August 2015, the bank has consolidated all physical operations into a single Tbilisi headquarters after closing the Batumi branch on July 15, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the bank reported subscribed capital of GEL 134 million and allocated capital of GEL 69.2 million.

The bank serves two principal customer segments — corporate/SME clients (medium and large enterprises with import/export activity) and individual retail depositors. Its product suite comprises business loans, trade finance instruments (Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees in import/export, revocable/irrevocable, confirmed/unconfirmed, sight/deferred variants), multi-currency term deposits and certificates of deposit in GEL, USD, EUR, and TRY, treasury/foreign exchange products, and deposit insurance up to 30,000 GEL under Georgia's Deposit Insurance System. Distribution runs through a single Tbilisi branch plus the MaximumBank internet and mobile banking platforms (the latter relaunched October 15, 2024) and direct correspondent relationships with Bank of Georgia, TBC Bank, Liberty Bank, and ISBANK AG.

Revenue is generated primarily through net interest income on lending and deposit products, transaction fees on transfers (domestic and SWIFT), fees on trade finance instruments, and — effective November 28, 2025 — annual account maintenance fees of 100 GEL for individuals and 200 GEL for businesses. The bank supplements domestic lending capacity with international green financing, having signed a EUR 7 million facility with the Green for Growth Fund in July 2024 (a follow-on to a EUR 6.1 million facility in December 2021) to support energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. The bank does not publicly disclose revenue figures.

Direct peers

• BasisBank: A mid-sized Georgian commercial bank offering retail and corporate banking products. Comparable in scale and product breadth to Isbank Georgia, and competes directly for SME and mid-corporate customers in the Georgian market.
• Bank of Georgia: The largest commercial bank in Georgia and a listed entity on the London Stock Exchange. Isbank Georgia already maintains a correspondent banking relationship with BOG for GEL transfers and SWIFT, making it a direct comparable in Georgian commercial banking with much greater scale and a multi-branch network.
• Credo Bank: A Georgian commercial bank with a focus on micro, small, and medium enterprise lending and retail deposits. Comparable in scale and customer base to Isbank Georgia's SME-oriented lending franchise.
• Cartu Bank: A Georgian universal commercial bank offering retail, corporate, and trade finance services. Competes with Isbank Georgia in the local SME and corporate segments with similar product breadth.
• TBC Bank: One of Georgia's two leading universal banks, also London-listed.

• Halyk Bank Georgia: Georgian subsidiary of Halyk Bank, the largest bank in Kazakhstan. Directly comparable as a foreign-owned commercial bank subsidiary operating in Georgia with corporate and retail offerings.
