In 2014, A&T Bank’s foreign trade volume rose to
US$ 2.9 billion; as a result, the Bank achieved its
performance target for the year.
A&T Bank sustains its effective position in the field of foreign
trade transactions by virtue of its broadening and strengthening
network of correspondent banks and financial institutions.
Primarily intermediating trade transactions between Turkey
and the countries in which its reputable shareholders and their
regional correspondents operate, the Bank continues to offer
its customers a high standard of banking products and services.
With a network of about 400 correspondent banks as of the end
of 2014, A&T Bank is open for improvement and change in this
field in accordance with its customers’ needs and economic
requirements.
Throughout the year of 2014, various country and
correspondent bank visits were made to present A&T Bank in
international markets, to convey information on developments
and to strengthen relations. In line with its clients’ necessities
and demands as well as developments in the global markets,
new relations were set with correspondent banks and
international institutions. To that end, the Bank continued to
operate in existing markets, and started up operations in new
markets.
Thereby, the product and service diversity of the Bank was
increased. In addition to North Africa market, where it has
actively operated for 37 years, A&T Bank also strengthened
its correspondent bank relations with Sub-Saharan African
countries and hence increased its niche market share in 2014.
A&T Bank’s foreign trade volume rose to US$ 2.9 billion; as a
result, the Bank achieved its performance target, exceeding the
US$ 2.4 billion trade volume of the prior year.
In 2015, A&T Bank targets to broaden its existing
correspondent network and thus offer services that are more
qualified to its customers’ changing needs and expectations
as well as considering the requirements of the global market.
Aiming at providing new alternatives to its clients through
innovative and customer oriented solutions, A&T Bank will
continue to focus on tighter cooperation with correspondent
banks and financial institutions.
