ISTANBUL, Turkey, Aug. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)<\/a> — Freedom Yat\u0131r\u0131m Menkul De\u011ferler A.\u015e., a subsidiary of Freedom Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: FRHC), has received an operating license from the Capital Markets Board of T\u00fcrkiye (CMB). Freedom Yat\u0131r\u0131m has become the first broadly authorized foreign brokerage firm to receive such a license in T\u00fcrkiye since 1992.<\/p>\n

The license marks an important step in Freedom Holding Corp.\u2019s expansion in T\u00fcrkiye and supports its broader strategy to grow its brokerage business and international capital markets infrastructure in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cReceiving this operating license is an important milestone for Freedom Holding Corp. It marks our entry into the Turkish brokerage market as the first broadly authorized foreign firm to receive such a license in 34 years,\u201d said Timur Turlov, Founder and CEO of Freedom Holding Corp.<\/p>\n

Freedom Holding Corp. operates through more than 200 offices in over 20 countries across North America, Europe, and Asia. According to its latest financial statements filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company\u2019s total assets stood at US$14 billion as of June 30, 2026. Brokerage remains one of its core business lines, accounting for approximately 39% of total net revenue.<\/p>\n

Freedom Yat\u0131r\u0131m will draw on Freedom Holding Corp.\u2019s international brokerage expertise, technology, and infrastructure as it prepares to launch investment services in T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n

Connecting T\u00fcrkiye with International Markets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Freedom Yat\u0131r\u0131m plans to offer more than traditional brokerage services. Using TraderNet, Freedom Holding Corp.\u2019s proprietary trading platform, the company intends to build infrastructure that provides two-way access between the Turkish market and international capital markets.<\/p>\n

For investors in T\u00fcrkiye, the goal is to gradually broaden access to international markets through Freedom Holding Corp.\u2019s global brokerage capabilities.<\/p>\n

Freedom Yat\u0131r\u0131m has also completed its integration with Borsa \u0130stanbul, giving clients across the Group\u2019s international brokerage network access to investment opportunities in the Turkish market. The network has more than 870,000 client accounts.<\/p>\n

Freedom Holding Corp. expects this infrastructure to help increase international participation in T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s capital markets and strengthen links between Borsa \u0130stanbul and global financial markets.<\/p>\n

Building an Integrated Digital Ecosystem<\/strong><\/p>\n

Freedom Holding Corp. recently completed the acquisition of a 99.32% stake in Turkish Bank A.\u015e. through its subsidiary Freedom Finansal Hizmetler A.\u015e. Following the acquisition, the bank\u2019s shareholders approved the change of its trade name to Freedom Bank A.\u015e.<\/p>\n

Together, Freedom Bank and Freedom Yat\u0131r\u0131m are expected to form the core of Freedom Holding Corp.\u2019s digital financial ecosystem in T\u00fcrkiye, combining banking and investment services with other digital offerings.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur ambition in T\u00fcrkiye goes beyond brokerage. We plan to build an integrated digital financial ecosystem around Freedom Bank and Freedom Yat\u0131r\u0131m, bringing banking, investment, and other digital services together over time. We will draw on our experience in Kazakhstan, where Freedom SuperApp already combines financial and everyday digital services within a single platform, while adapting the model to the needs of the Turkish market,\u201d Turlov stated.<\/p>\n

For the local team, the next stage will be to combine the Group\u2019s international capabilities with expertise in the Turkish market.<\/p>\n

\u201cT\u00fcrkiye is a long-term market for us. We want to combine the Group\u2019s technology, financial strength, and international capital markets expertise with strong local knowledge to build a sustainable business here,\u201d said Vladimir Pochekuev, Partner at Freedom Holding Corp. and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Freedom Yat\u0131r\u0131m Menkul De\u011ferler A.\u015e.<\/p>\n

Pochekuev also expressed his appreciation to the Capital Markets Board of T\u00fcrkiye for its constructive and professional engagement throughout the licensing process.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preparing to Launch Operations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following receipt of its operating license, Freedom Yat\u0131r\u0131m is continuing to prepare for the launch of full-scale operations in the Turkish market. The company is conducting comprehensive system testing and finalizing its operational readiness.<\/p>\n

Freedom Yat\u0131r\u0131m intends to offer clients technology-driven, user-friendly investment services tailored to the regulatory requirements and specific needs of the Turkish market.<\/p>\n

\u201cT\u00fcrkiye has a large and increasingly sophisticated investor base, with growing interest in diversifying portfolios across markets and asset classes. Our focus will be on combining access to international markets with strong local expertise and a high standard of client service,\u201d said Vusal Mamedov, Senior Adviser to the Board of Directors of Freedom Yat\u0131r\u0131m.<\/p>\n
