The finance facilities regulated in the second paragraph of Article 48 of the Banking Law, which defines the loan transactions, are considered as loans for development and investment banks as well as participation banks. Therefore, these types of finance facilities are, in a sense, considered common products of participation banks and development and investment banks though with different principles of application.
In this context, our Bank offers some of these finance facilities to its clients, in line with their preferences, with methods pursuant to Islamic Finance Principles.
Among the services offered by our Bank in accordance with the Islamic Finance Principles are lease certificates issued, particularly in order to ensure resource diversity, and the disbursement of the resources obtained from these issuances as financing to our clients through other appropriate methods, especially Murabaha.
These transactions and required documentation, structuring of products/services, product/service-based issued Certificates of Consent for Activity (icazet) and other operations required by the relevant legislation are executed by the Isfa Islamic Finance Advisory Committee, in accordance with the consultancy agreement concluded between our Bank and the Advisor.
Certificates of Consent for Activity (icazet) were issued for the Lease Certificates by the Advisory Committee on 06.04.2023, 17.08.2023 and 25.10.2023 in accordance with the rules of the “Communiqué on Compliance with Interest-Free Banking Principles and Standards” (Communiqué) dated 14.09.2019. The Advisory Committee convenes at least once every three months and shares its suggestions and recommendations on Islamic Finance products and operations with our Bank in line with the letter No: 27267485-3455 dated 03.03.2022 published by the Participation Banks Association of Türkiye, authorized by the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency Department of Enforcement III, as an integral part of the relevant legislation.
