By establishing its own technology hub, tbi tech, in Türkiye, tbi bank is making a significant advancement in its technological development.
By taking this calculated risk, the bank hopes to increase its access to global talent while also quickening the development and incorporation of cutting-edge services into its offerings.
The hub’s HQ is in Istanbul, while most innovations come from its Research and Development (R&D) office at Zafer Technopark in Usak. There, the tbi tech team works closely with experts and academics in technology to leverage their expertise, knowledge and skills.
The tech hub is focused on developing advanced data platforms and analytical solutions that improve the bank’s digital products, making them more user-friendly and efficient for its customers in Romania, Bulgaria and Greece.
A notable example is the tbi bank app in Bulgaria, where several of these advancements have already been implemented.
A Team of 17 Professionals
Currently, the tbi tech team consists of 17 professionals with extensive experience in data analytics, engineering, software development, and others. As the team’s projects grow, the bank plans to gradually attract new talent to meet the increasing needs of its business and customers.
“With tbi tech, we’re not just investing in technology and people; we’re improving how we provide financial services to better meet our customers’ needs. Türkiye was the ideal choice for our tech hub because of the opportunities in its strong banking and IT sectors. Its strategic location in our region, along with access to talented professionals and an active startup community, will help us achieve our tech development plans”, Gurkan Papila, SVP Technology at tbi bank, concluded.
