Isbank London savings rates — compare every account, plus switch offers and guides

Who they are

Turkiye Is Bankasi (Isbank) was founded in 1924 and is one of the largest banks in Turkey. Its inception dates back to 26 August 1924, mandated by Atatürk following the First Economy Congress in Izmir. The London branch has a long history in the UK - established as a representative office in 1974, Isbank UK transitioned into a full-service branch in 1983, providing financial solutions to both individuals and businesses. Unlike some of Isbank's other overseas branches, the UK branches offer a POS service and an Overseas Mortgage product designed for real estate purchases by retail customers residing in the UK. The bank's London presence is firmly aimed at serving the Turkish community in Britain and facilitating trade and financial ties between the two countries.

Savings accounts

Our DepositScout data does not currently show any savings products listed for Isbank London. That does not necessarily mean none exist - it simply means we have nothing to display or compare right now. If you are exploring your options, the live rates section of this page is the place to check, as it will reflect any products we pick up as soon as they become available.

Protection and safety

Your eligible deposits with Turkiye Is Bankasi A.S. UK are protected up to a total of £120,000 by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), the UK's deposit guarantee scheme. That is reassuring for UK savers - it means the standard FSCS safety net applies, the same as you would get with a high-street bank. Turkiye Is Bankasi AS operates as a branch of Turkiye Is Bankasi A.S. in Turkey, so it is worth being aware that it is not a standalone UK-chartered bank. As always, check the FCA Financial Services Register if you want to confirm the exact licence details before committing larger sums.

Is it right for you?

Isbank London is a niche choice rather than a mainstream savings destination. It is particularly well suited to those with ties to Turkey - whether for cross-border transfers, overseas mortgages, or multi-currency current accounts. For pure savings rate-chasing, there is little to compare here at the moment. Keep an eye on the live rates shown on this page, as that is where any new products will appear first.
