products.
BNPP Assurance’s CEO, Eric Lombard, said
that he expects the TEB to become the leading bancassurance
provider in Turkey.
The merger between TEB and Fortis was
finalised in February, making TEB the ninth biggest lender by
assets in Turkey.
The merger helped boost TEB’s ambitions to
grow its retail banking business in Turkey.
