BDDK has given BTMU permission to launch operations and open local branches in December with an initial investment of US$300 million.

BTMU's entrance into the Turkish banking sector will help facilitate a growing Japanese presence in Turkey and stated that many of its expected customers were Japanese firms eager to complete in Turkey's energy, financial and telecom industries.
