Accordingly, our remuneration management system consists of a salary that promotes and rewards success and perfection, that is in line with the conditions of the market and the current time, that is fair and trustworthy and also of other benefits.

Salaries of all managers and personnel are determined to be compliant to the ethical values, internal balances, strategic objectives of the Bank and the responsibilities undertaken, as opposed to just based on short term performances such as profit or return.

The payments to be made to the managers and the personnel of the internal control, internal audit, and risk management units are determined taking into consideration the performance of the relevant personnel regarding his/her own function, independent from the performance of the department they audit, monitor or control.

Incentive payments are determined in order to positively affect the corporate values of the Bank, by adhering to objective conditions and by taking into consideration the maturity of the risks assumed. Criteria and models concerning these practices that are reviewed each year are shared in Personnel Regulation and Denizportal/Human Resources Page in detail within a transparent management approach.

Making use of “remuneration research” reports it provides each year from independent research companies and by taking into consideration the internal balances, Human Resources Department determines the salary increase rates and submits these to the approval of the Management Board (MB).
