Alternatif Bank joined the Turkish banking industry in 1991. In 2013, The Commercial Bank (P.S.Q.C.), Qatar’s first private bank and one of the region’s prominent and prestigious financial institutions, became the majority shareholder of Alternatif Bank with 75 percent ownership. Following a 3-year partnership, Alternatif Bank became the 100 percent subsidiary of The Commercial Bank by the end of 2016, and set off toward much bigger targets in perfect alignment with The Commercial Bank’s international vision and objectives both in Turkey and abroad. The Bank completed its corporate transformation in March 2018 by maximising the interaction between the two banks, changed its name, logo and corporate identity and decided to continue its activities under the brand of Alternatif Bank.
