The number of ATMs in Turkey has exceeded 57 thousand

Türkiye’s 67 licensed banks operated 10,589 branches and 57,103 ATMs as of September, according to sector data, with state-owned Ziraat Bankası holding the largest branch network at 1,769 locations. The figures underscore how physical distribution remains central to Turkish retail banking even as digital channels expand. Ziraat’s lead reflects the outsized role of public banks in branch coverage, while the ATM count above 57,000 highlights continued investment in cash-access infrastructure. Watch next for whether private and foreign banks keep trimming branches while expanding ATMs, and for regulatory signals on access requirements in underserved regions.
