Participation banks in Turkey, alongside conventional banks, are the institutions that continue operating according to Islamic rules. These institutions are based on the principles of profit-loss partnership instead of interest. The main purpose of participation banking is to attract people who do not work with conventional banks into the system. These people are not in the financial system due to their religious sensitivities. However, due to the increasing competitive environment and dynamic economic structure, participation banks carry out policies targeting not only the religious sensitive segment but also all segments of society.
