Introduction
Akbank, one of Turkiye's leading financial institutions, has always been at the forefront of innovation and has prioritized sustainability. When faced with the growing demand for solar energy projects across the nation and the worldwide shift to renewables, they recognized the opportunity to capitalize on the opportunity.
Challenge
Having received ample funding from development finance institutions to deploy into renewable energy financing, Akbank sought to grow it’s renewable portfolio and leverage its large customer base to help propel Turkiye’s ongoing solar transformation.
Solution
- Akbank partnered up with solarVis to integrate its lead generator onto it’s high traffic website. Having over 8.5 million visitors on its website per month, thousands of consumers interested in Akbank’s various offerings began accessing the lead generator almost immediately, creating hundreds of project leads for their partner EPCs.
- Akbank was also integrated into the corporate lending module, allowing multiple EPCs to provide Akbank’s loans as an offering to their commercial and industrial project customers. This partnership has helped Akbank position itself firmly as a leader in renewable energy financing.
Future Expansions
Akbank, in collaboration with Solarvis, continues to explore opportunities to expand their solar financing offerings. Having exceeded their expectations with solarvis’s lead generation and SME lending platform, Akbank is now looking forward to joining the retail lending platform to extend loans to individuals for residential installations.
"At Akbank, we have had the pleasure of partnering with Solarvis to help build our green energy portfolio by joining their lending platform. Solarvis's platform has expanded our reach and enhanced the customer experience, generating countless high conversion leads in the process. Solarvis has been an invaluable partner in our journey to provide innovative financial solutions in the renewable energy sector."
