Enpara Bank has received two major awards at the 2026 World’s Best Digital Bank Awards, organized by international finance publication Global Finance. The bank was named both “Best Neobank in Western Europe” and “Best Neobank in Türkiye.”
Enpara Bank achieved this dual success in the 27th edition of Global Finance’s “World’s Best Digital Bank Awards.” With this result, Enpara Bank has secured yet another significant international accolade for Türkiye’s digital banking model, ranking first in two separate categories in Global Finance’s 2026 evaluation.
The awards, determined through a preliminary evaluation by a jury from global technology giant Infosys followed by a final decision from Global Finance’s editors, were based on criteria including digital customer growth, product diversity, mobile app design, and user experience. Having placed first in both Türkiye and Western Europe in the first round, Enpara Bank will now compete in the second round, where global winners will be determined, at the “World’s Best Digital Banks and AI in Finance Awards” ceremony to be held in Singapore on October 13, 2026.
A pioneer of the branchless, fully digital banking model in Türkiye, Enpara Bank has once again cemented its success with these prestigious international awards. Enpara Bank, the leading representative in Türkiye of the neobank model — a new generation of banking that operates without a physical branch network, serving customers entirely through mobile and internet channels — also stands out for its strong financial ratios.
Continuing its journey as an independent digital bank within QNB Group, Enpara Bank posted a return on equity of 37.7 percent in the first half of 2026.
Commenting on the awards, Enpara Bank General Manager Cumhur Türkmen said: “It’s a great source of pride for us that the banking model we’ve developed in Türkiye has been named the best neobank in both Türkiye and Western Europe. We see these two awards as a result of the trust more than 9 million of our customers place in Enpara Bank and the hard work of all our colleagues.”
Enpara Bank, which began operations in 2012 under QNB Türkiye, received its operating license from Türkiye’s Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK) as of August 2024. Through a partial demerger completed on August 28, 2025, Enpara Bank A.Ş. separated from QNB Türkiye and began operating as an independent deposit bank. Today, Enpara Bank serves more than 9 million customers under QNB Group, operating exclusively through mobile and internet channels rather than a physical branch network.
