TEB, the strategic partner of BNP Paribas in Turkey, has opened the first bank branch equipped with solar cell panels and the first mobile cash machine powered by solar energy in Istanbul.

TEB, which has achieved ISO 14001 certification for its quality environmental management, is strongly committed to respecting the environment. The bank also offers "green" financial solutions, such as loans to buy hybrid cars and to install insulation in the home.

In the years to come, TEB plans to ramp up the number of branches equipped with solar cell panels.
