Mashreq, one of the leading financial institutions in the MENA region, has established its Türkiye representative office, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to supporting Turkish financial institutions and corporates.
The establishment of the Türkiye Representative office office follows a period of accelerated engagement between Mashreq and leading Turkish institutions across syndicated loans, trade finance, payments, treasury services, and capital markets. This expansion also aligns with the bank’s regional growth strategy and complements its expanding global presence.
As one of the largest and most active correspondent banks operating in Türkiye, Mashreq has played a vital role in channeling risk capacity and capital flows to Turkish banks and corporates.
Mashreq is also a leading Bookrunner on key bond transactions by Turkish borrowers, including capital issuances for prominent Turkish banks. These efforts underscore Mashreq’s position as a strategic financial partner, facilitating access to global capital markets and strengthening the financial connectivity between Türkiye and its global partners.

Joel Van Dusen, Group Head of Corporate and Investment Banking at Mashreq, said that, “Establishing Türkiye representative office reinforces our commitment to supporting a wide spectrum of clients in one of the region’s most dynamic and strategically important markets. This on-the-ground presence enables us to deliver more responsive, tailored solutions across trade finance, capital markets, and treasury services.”
