Banks, their history and types
Although the new banking era has a recent history, its foundation in the same logic goes back 3,000 years. It is said that the Sumerians were the first to conduct banking transactions, and was one of the ancient civilizations.
Do you have any information about the banks that you touched on in relation to your business and in terms of money, what is meant by these banks and how were they established?
Thanks to these financial institutions, a lot of banking transactions like investing, saving, storing money, using loans, transferring money and salaries take place in them.
And as these operations continue daily, given their very important place in our lives, banks have taken a large space in the field of finance with many methods developed by banks, especially commercial banks. The reason for this is that companies use banks to carry out their daily activities smoothly and quickly. This banking transaction is considered as a first step to the present day, as the forms and types of banking circulation have changed and have different forms. You can see that there are many types of banks at the point where we are today, and they each offer different transactions. Most of us today have a bank account or at least we have done a banking transaction through the bank, we may sometimes subconsciously think about choosing these banks in any transaction. When inquiring about the importance of banks and their different names, their purpose and what their main tasks are, we are on a list of these types of banks, which we may see providing the same services, but differ in their dealing policy and how their profits and benefits are.
Types of banks in Turkey:

4. Participation banking (without interest): it enjoys an important position, moreover, it has gained importance in many Islamic countries. The reason for this is Islam's prohibition of interest in this way. In the financial market, these banks are required for clients and investors who were interested in Islam's prohibition of interest. The first example is the Mit Ghamr Savings Bank, which was established in Egypt in 1963. Starting with this bank, these banks spread to all interest-free Muslim countries.
